I just read an amazing post on quora.com to: "Do conservatives ever become liberal?" [View all]

It appears that a lot of tRump trolls ask questions like the above. Interesting are many who answer are definitely not tRump fans. This lady's answer is a gem.

Yes. My husband did. The strangest thing about it was I remember the moment it happened, because it did happen in the space of a few minutes. As I think about it, it happened in the time it takes to say one sentence.

When I met my husband, he was very conservative. I had first formed my own political ideas in high school, and I was and remain very liberal. Fairly early on in our relationship, we agreed that there would be times when we simply would not see eye-to-eye on an issue, and we decided that at those times, we would simply shake hands and agree to disagree. We loved each other and wanted to spend our lives together—we would just have to muddle through the political stuff.

There were a few times when it was difficult to try and remain civil and we had awful arguments. The one that comes most readily to mind is an argument we had when it was announced that men suspected of terrorism would be held at Guantanamo Bay. I was furious about it because I saw it as handy loophole which would allow our government not to declare someone either a criminal suspect, where they would have the protections of the Constitution, or a prisoner of war, where they would be subject to the requirements of the Geneva Conventions. I saw it as cheating. He had other views. He said some things that even he would tell you were completely inappropriate. I found out recently when I tried to joke about it, since it was so long ago, that he is deeply ashamed of it. I don’t know if we will ever be able to laugh about that argument.

As I stated earlier, my husband flipped from being a conservative to being a liberal in the space of a few minutes. I was sitting right there, and watched it happen, and it is still a very strange thing for me to think about.
