It´s just a hunch for me, but conservatives have already given up on the whole civility thing which I have yet to experience a single liberal abandon. When people talk about their journey towards leftism, it´s either they used to be chuds or they were never sold on capitalism to begin with.
This is just anecdotal and based on my scewed experience. Anyone got something to add or refute?
Radlibs are liberals, and likely the easiest of any group to radicalize.
There is a subset of right wingers who aren't especially bigoted and are just as pro-worker and furious about elites as leftists are, but just have incoherent views. This group probably is more easy to radicalize than your average blue MAGA type.
I think the problem is neither liberals nor conservatives are monovalent groups - there are many flavours of each, and their bell curves of ease-of-radicalization overlap. But IMO radlibs are the easiest, as they're likely already familiar with a lot of the horrors.
Radlibs also aren't a homogenous group, because some of them sit there out of a lack of awareness that further left options exist. Then others are aware and become incredibly bizarre, throwing out the word tankie and siding with imperialism deliberately
