Liberals Converting to Conservatism - Why Not The Other Way Around?

[JGalt]

I've heard of many cases where a liberal or a progressive suddenly "sees the light" and becomes a fine upstanding conservative. But very seldom do you ever hear of a conservative becoming a liberal. Why is that?

Instead of spewing hateful insults at the OP, how's about providing an example that liberalism is the natural state of humankind, and that most people eventually gravitate toward it?

I used to be "liberal". Then I wised up. A lot of people do. The balance have undeveloped pre-frontal lobes. That or they lack the fortitude to realize they've been indoctrinated.

Really, I see conservatives as the "new liberal". Today, "liberals" are actually progressives, which is code for foolish lunatics.

Trump's Chumps are namecalling conservatives as RINOs and liberals on a daily basis.

Just ask DarkFury or JGalt.

Teens are very wishy washy, those with money who do not want to part with it become Rep. You know those who do not want to pay taxes, are anti gov, and gun lovers.

Jimmy Carter signed into law where it was no longer legal to have mentally challenged people incarcerated. We see from the actions of the left that the infestation of insane people have started to decrease, because they are killing themselves by aborting their children and many getting a brain and moving to the right.

Democrats are a bunch of pansy ass woosies too, so what....

I think the happy medium is Libertarianism. As Reagan said, that's the "soul of conservatism" and some logically minded liberals can get on board as well. It's the alt-left, socialist, neo-communist that have ruined liberals.

A quote often falsely attributed to Winston Churchill, who in real life was a Conservative at 15, and a liberal at 35.

You just made a damned fool of yourself.

The question asks more than examples of individuals who have converted from liberalism to conservatism or the other way around. Rather: "What is the natural political state of Americans?"
