    Hard disagree. Ideology runs deep in the states and its no accident that the first thing that gets fed to you when you're fed up and start looking for political solutions to your daily woes is liberal media slop. I know plenty of people who are solid leftists now that started out buying into the whole russia gate nonsense and just through the process of encountering leftists ideas and continuously watching libs fall flat on their face managed to radicalize. The guy's already posting about worker's rights and is on the cusp of understanding that the libs they were scared for on Jan 6th are in on the whole thing too. Call me an optimist but I think a lot of these radlibs will radicalize as they see the norms and institutions they respect fail again and again to actually serve them. Which is to say the dialectic of materialism will negate out of them their liberal brainworms :brainworms:

      I’m ashamed to admit that I was a Russiagate lib 😔 The lib media talked about it like it was fact, and I was a Pod Save listener at the time :bern-disgust: It was actually listening to the Chapo pod and finding the old subreddit that de:brainworms:ed me

        Unless your parents are commies most people pass through the radlib stage at some point
