I'm more conservative than my teenage self, in that I believe now that people, as a whole, are much shittier than I suspected before. This has failed to translate into voting for conservatives because:

  • Conservative politicians and voters have played a big part in that realization
  • Even shitty people still should get medical care and such
  • Even if you don't care from a moral perspective, it's a net good for society if people have housing and healthcare and are able to contribute, rather than being forced out into the streets to die.

Also if we don't apply things like rights and medical care to everyone, then someone has the power to choose who gets them and who doesn't. And that's a complete nonstarter
