I'm a Democrat Who Only Read Conservative News for Three Weeks, and Holy Sh*t

Growing up in an open-minded family in northern California, I was encouraged to have a non-judgmental and curious mindset. Not only was I the kid who always asked, “Why?” And then I followed that up by asking, “Who? What? When? Where? Why? Why Not?” and then “Why?” again. As a result of this liberal mentality, I’ve always gravitated toward unfamiliar things in order to better understand them. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on who you ask), that inquisitive nature has stuck around now that I'm older.
