I was born in California, moved to Oregon, lived in Alabama and Kentucky for a time in the military, resettled back in Oregon, and then moved to Washingon state for the last 14 years. The area I live in now is largely run by conservatives, despite it's close proximity to liberal Portland.
My politics range from moderately liberal / progressive to centrist depending on the issue. I used to be right leaning centrist up until 9 or so years ago.
It was precisely being exposed to a broad range of people - particularly across the economic spectrum - that led to the change. That, and I came to the conclusion that the GOP is completely full of shit.
