Maybe because the definition of “liberal “ and “conservative “ has changed drastically since I joined. Maybe the changes in society in general. I don’t know. Forgive me if I shouldn’t have posted this but it is something I’ve been observing over the years.
Nevertheless I always have appreciated this page and all of you.

Totally. You see the same thing on reddit as well
I can only speak for myself, but for me personally I'm generally Conservative. Own lots of guns, trucks, former oilfield work, the whole deal. But in the last several years the right has moved farther right than I'm able to get on board with. So even though I still identify as, I dunno, centre right, the parties on the left are still closest to what I believe since the parties on the right are way too out there for me.
I think that some of the good Conservatives we've had in the past, people like Peter Lougheed, if they were to get into politics today it wouldn't be any of the modern Conservative parties they'd be joining
