No affiliation as a kid. In first grade a classmate asked me, "who are y'all voting for?" I thought, we're kids, idiot. We know jack shit. I said, probably Nixon. He said, "We're voting for Wallace." Even at that age, I knew what that meant.
On my first opportunity to vote, I leaned toward Howard Baker in the primaries. Didn't like Carter. Then Reagan won the nomination, gave Falwell a reach around, and I voted for John Anderson. I didn't vote in 84. Seriously, Mondale? They wasted Geraldine Ferraro on that? I voted Dukakis in 88 hoping he would die in a tank accident and Lloyd Bentsen would succeed.
My ideology is that ideologies are tools. If you try one and it almost works, tweak it. If it fails, try something different. Thus, it doesn't change with age as much as conditions and results.
Those who adhere to ideologies that create negative net results are prideful and foolish.
