Lack of oppurnity and hope as I grew up shaped my political ideas. Seeing a dimishining education system from my old neighborhood and noticing the youth of those with wealth receive all the advantages. I tend to notice the main reasons for poor republicans to exist were all the same religion, fear, panic over their rights to bear arms and hate. It obviously made me come to the conclusion that the right wing had become about dividing the country especially looking at history from the cold war scare to fraudulent war on drugs and now with the so call war on terror. These were wars which were based on fear and nothing never happen to solve the problem except wait it out by our government. Just noticing the people I grew up with suffer from lack of opurnity and seeing th struggles I have to go through at the age of 29 to just be on even par with those 18 and 19 year olds of other cultures in this country have been given just being birth into the family they are in. Funny thing Im still not even. Thats what has shapped my political veiw.
