    If you’re American, it could well be that you remained centre the whole time but the US political spectrum shifted below you, so now you feel substantially left.

      That’s a fair analysis and hard to say with objectivity. I had and deleted a couple long responses here before realizing I am unwilling to try addressing that to the required level of depth just because I’m too lazy for that much typing.

      I also acknowledge that the whole left right thing is calibrated differently over here. 😁

      But, relative to my peers at the time, I think I’m not too far off…
