I agree that there are a great number of Leftists who, even after getting “mugged”, will embrace leftism even more strongly.

But this is nothing new...in “The Gulag Archipelago” Solzhenitsyn described people who had been put there by Stalin, but who still thought he was right to put them there, and they cried when he died. Unbelievable. But true.

But there are Leftist who have left the insanity. It does happen as well.

Yep. It happens.

And, for the most part, that leaving is like that young lady who wrote a letter to the editor at the newspaper of the town she’d not too long ago migrated to.

In that letter, she talks about why she had to leave the place of her origin. It had gotten too expensive and the taxes were too high for her to financially survive.

Then she talks about what a wonderful citizen of the new town she’s been.

She votes to support the homeless.
She votes to support more shelters.
She votes to support higher minimum wages.
She votes to support each and every costly thing the left can dream up.

And now she has to move again. And it’s all the city’s fault for making taxes so high. And it’s not fair.
