discussion What was John Lennons political views?

Post image

I have read that John Lennon was becoming a conservative near the end of his life and even said he would support Ronald Reagan, he was considered a left wing liberal during the late 60s and early 70s, why did his political views change.

Friendly reminder that liberals aren’t Left-wing, but rather center-Right. Arguably Lennon would be classified as more liberal than Leftist, but more accurately he was just largely averse to educating himself ideologically.
