Considering all that, you wonder where and how she went off the rails with that political genesis. Perhaps a lesbo-radical conversion.
Kinda like both Stalin and Hitler considering the priesthood or being altar boys.
I have a brother who is 5 years older than me and he started to fall for the "Communism isn't so bad" in his first year of college back in the early 1960's. I remember he was arguing that point with dad and my dad said "if you think it is so great go over there and live. Just don't expect anymore meals around here". Never heard another peep after that.
