@BroDrillard The former liberal is a known phenomenon: "I just started looking into it one day and..."

People leave the left, institutions, communities, and even religion.
But for some reason, so very few ever leave a conservative world view.
@deprecated_ii @BroDrillard That's a good point.
I've seen some of those, and while they usually snap out of it, often when the relationship falls apart, this is a good example of world view degeneration.
Also relevant to recent events.
There may be a few cases of late onset mental illness, but otherwise it's a one-way street.
