      The old line from the 70s was that conservatives were liberals who had been mugged. One wonder what it will take for today's progressives to experience the consequences of their own policies.

      Because if history has taught us anything, it's that progressives learn absolutely nothing when *other people* suffer from their policies.

      Do you think conservatives learn something when *other people* suffer from their policies? Does that ever happen?

      Plenty of conservative policies are partly (school choice) or wholly (pro-life) altruistic. And conservatives have certainly responded & changed policies in response to external conditions.

      I know that I for one have moved around on trade and private-sector union issues in large part because I found over time that the positions I'd grandfathered myself into didn't match with the reality I was seeing on the ground. Can't speak for Dan, but that was a real evolution.

      I've come around on several of the law enforcement reform issues, and not because it was a thing affecting me or people in our movement.

      I wish I had the receipts but it's before the social media era but I've been there on crimlaw since even before I went to law school and became a lawyer but was an unapologetic conservative, pretty much always have been.

      I mean, I guess I sort of do, search Twitter for any major public police shooting over the last decade and my takes are still there.

      One I definitely went from a big fan to a skeptic was civil asset forfeiture. I don't want it abolished, but its use should be a lot more restricted.

          oh no let's just abolish it outright, we can find some other workaround if needed.

          one of the very, very few places where I think that a big massive rip-down-the-walls change actually makes sense is on civil asset forfeiture. its abuse is just simply too obvious to ignore anymore. yes i know there are big drug dealers. but mostly you're hitting urban poor folks
