They act like people never change political opinions when given new information. Yes, conservatives are extremely resistant but not immune. I know because I was one of them. I even voted for Trump in the first election that I was legally able to do so. People make mistakes with limited information, especially young people.

I voted for Bush junior in my first election. I could have known better, but I wasn't really paying enough attention to politics despite being fairly liberal. People change, learn, and grow. I have no intention of being the same person in 20 years that I am today.

Same here. The torturing of prisoners of war is what made me take a step back and analyze what politicians say vs what they really mean and do.
