you mentioned: “hardcore marxists”. There was something I left out of this article for brevity, but I’ll state it now...
Close friend of mine has a daughter age 40. In February of this year, she was a self-admitted communist (no kidding). Today she is ready to volunteer for the Trump re-election campaign.
No one really had to convince her. She saw what was going on, and how that insane governor in NY killed the business she struggled to build (she found a niche in a left-wing, progressive market). She started looking on the internet to see the news and information she was missing.
I have more stories. I’ll bet there are millions like her.
I hope so.
“I have more stories. I’ll bet there are millions like her.”
I’ve replied to a few people like you who have these stories and implored them to write up a Vanity about them because they do offer hope to the Eyeores of FR, who are more numerous than I imagined.
I wish I could post such a Vanity myself, but I have no such stories, mainly because I have a small family and social circle and thus do not come into as much contact with people as other Freepers might. I’m also working from home now and have no idea how loony lib co-workers minds might have been changed by fast-moving events.
