    I've always wanted universal healthcare and was always anti-war, ever since i first became politcally aware in any way. But my radicalizations were:

    Conservative -> Liberal : Watching Palin debate embarrassed me so much I stopped being conservative (age 18ish)

    Liberal -> Social Dem: Watching Bernie sanders run in 2016 on universal healthcare + environment stuff.

    Social Dem -> Socialist: Watching Bernie eat shit in 2016, Listening to Chapo, Reading internet memes

    Socialist -> Communist: Reading State and Revolution + Bernie eating shit in March.

      Same, except I spend a couple years between conservative and liberal being a shitty libertarian
