Re: What were your political leanings at 18 years old?

I pretty much aligned with the Republican party when I was 17/18, because - well, Mom and Dad were Republicans.

I continued that leaning as I read more and saw more what was going on in the country/world. I joined the Young Republicans during my first semester of college.

I couldn't vote yet at 18 - the 26th Amendment was passed about 15 months after. But I was eligible for the draft before I could vote.

I got my draft notice when I was 19 and I went to basic training on my 20th birthday.

I've stayed with the Republican party ever since. Do I agree with everything? No, but more of this party than any of the others.
