I tend to believe people don't really change but they do tend to show their true colors eventually. However, some of us are not a great judge of character.

Life is also complicated and messy.

Alternatively, both Republican, and she changed for the better for herself.

I disagree. Some people do change. Learn new things, car accidents change your life, cancer changes your life, new job, ...

The only thing constant is change.

Can confirm. I was a hard right conservative during Obama.

Life happens and now I'm an anti-capitalist pro-union progressive.

Congratulations on your positive change :)

You can always bet on people changing and never on how they’ll do it

Some of my best friends acted liberal until they hit 30 and suddenly they were Uber conservative. I'm less concerned with if they were really liberal before and more concerned with what they're okay with now. No longer friends with any of them because these are basic morality concerns

A drunk action is a sober thought.
