    The error in these people’s thinking is always that, because they went right, they musta been left before. Since they know nothing about politics, they don’t realize that all their previous positions were either also on the center/right, or they simply never held any position on a given topic, because they were uneducated and hadn’t heard of the idea at all.

    You can see it in the text over and over: ‘I can’t fathom the thought of paying reparations…’ Yea. Because you didn’t know what the fuck that was until Fox News explained it to you, whereupon you slotted that building block they so thoughtfully provided right into your world view, pristine and unquestioned.

    The mention of Maga hats is also very telling. The only people who aren’t wearing those but are offended about people who don’t like them, already have mental Maga hats on. And the victim complex once he puts his own hat on. Of course he has an anecdote about being confronted about it in public, of course he does. Chances are that never happened and is simply a feeble attempt to belong to the group he likes. Or it’s too fucking embarrassing to admit it was a family member, the only kinda human who would care about this guy even a little bit.

    There’s a type of dude who was a teen during Bush 2 and pins that time in his life as being a leftist because he hated Bush but it’s actually because he was just contrarian teenage boy who didn’t like someone telling him what to do. Guys like this are so politically and culturally irrelevant that they aren’t even worth engaging with. It’s always the dumbest guy you know from growing up who didn’t ever pay attention in class who now says things like “they shoulda taught us taxes instead of algebra!”

    The implication that people are poor because they have sex is very funny to me, I guess the most successful people in our society are volcels? That’s definitely different then the messaging I usually see in society.

    Classic AiM.

    Calling it now, these types are the stereotypical “hypocritical liberal” that chuds like to meme about. If they are questioned on their own hypocrisy from the left, they immediately run crying to the comfort of fascism. Like I instantly imagine these ex-liberals to be Impotent Rage from Grand Theft Auto. As soon as something is asked of them, they become chuds because it’s easier for them.

    Like if I’m taking him at his word, he’s so easily offended he abandoned all his principles because leftists didn’t walk on eggshells over him and it made him morally envious. No really, you’re supposed to be lir betters. Just let us criticize you, laugh it off, and do not retaliate. You hate the left for being “vengeful”? Then prove it, do not take revenge against a group with less power harboring revenge fantasies against you. God they’re petty.

      Being alienated from the American left because you’re a white middle class man is pure fantasy created by someone with zero familiarity with their subject matter.

        Accusation in a mirror (and a tactic Goebbels weaponized where he would accuse the other side of what they’re guilty of.)

        In this case, a white guy becoming a chud self-servingly would rather defend his preferential treatment than true social equality. He needs to accuse the left of “driving him away” instead of what he probably actually wanted to do. Become a CHUD because special treatment registers to him as a better deal than fighting for better material conditions.
