I logged back in to my old Facebook about three years ago for the first time since my freshman year of college. My stated political identity was libertarian and I had a quote defending George W. Bush (relevant for the time period).

I didn’t remember how much I was just regurgitating what my dad said, but it was astounding. For context, I’ve been a leftist for at least the last decade and have very few positive things to say about W (at least he’s quiet now).
