Well said, Madeleine! Wow, it's crazy how much we have in common. I too grew up in a conservative town, attended a majority-white, conservative college, and I've slowly been making the shift from more libertarian to more left-of-center views. Still can't call myself a liberal or a leftist (too much of a Catholic for that). But it is nice to see I'm not alone in my concern for others in the world!

That's wild! I'm glad you liked the piece! Just trying to normalize allowing one's ideas to change :)
