Most people that engage in discussions here do not come here believing they would change their opinion on an issue. And most people also won't - if anything, engaging in discussion here forces you to sharpen your stance or to refine your argumentation.
But I am gonna ask anyway: Did you change your mind on a political issue thanks to engaging in or witnessing a discussion on here?
For me, the most pronounced change is my stance on abortion. I was clearly pro-choice, but I guess this was more due to disposition (I am pretty liberal on most issues) than due to actually having looked into all aspects of the topic. Now I still would technically b3 considered pro-choice, but only with a lot of restrictions and also because I believe the negative consequences of a ban (like illegal back-alley abortions, more unwanted kids, etc.) would be bad.
Now I don't want this to turn into an abortion discussion. I mean it probably will, but I'l try:
What issues, if any, have you changed or adjusted your opinion on due to the War Room?
Not a full change, but I think there should be some sort of recognition of same sex couples. I've also moderated my views on some drug laws and become more pro 2nd amendment.
