    All of the answers by former leftists boil down to either plain old pearl clutching or "well having strong political stances is hard and I just wasn't that into it in the first place".

      My favorite is when they say there were a communist, and then I ask them "What kind?" and get this vacant stare.

            Normally it's a millennial or Gen-X person who is now a finance libertarian. Basically person who will be a neo-con in another decade or so. Very much a "Communism is good in theory." person who never actually bothered to learn any communist theory.

      I liked the guy who said "everyone wants what's best for the country" and all the comments are random bad things they're pushing for and he just says "not like that"
