    this guy gives me just slight hope that there's some shred of faith to be had in radicalizing libs. it'd be nice to be able to isolate the exact moment that made him open his eyes, so that we could use it to educate people.

      Important to remember that only rarely will radicalization, or any significant change, come out of one moment in particular, let alone one in the form of a conversation

      Its the sum of a lot of things and then the straw that breaks the camels back. That means consistent education and investment, and ideally community

      I mean, a lot of leftists are radicalized former libs. Now if you're talking about lib politicians, that's gonna be pretty rare and dependent on the individual.
