I'm betting most of us were much more lib/right-wing in the past, so let's retrace the steps of our political journeys to figure out what works best for getting people leftpilled (hexbear.net)

As you can tell by my username, I lived in West Texas. Not the cool part, the shitty panhandle part. Going to college really opened my eyes, being an environment that has support. I really appreciated the lack of hierarchy my small high school had; it was incredibly segregated between the rich white girls and their assholes boyfriends, and all the Hispanic kids. I lost 90 lbs in undergrad.

What got me out of being a lib was Hillary Clinton stans being snarky when talking anything regarding policy. I was a bit too young for 2008, but my sister was older and I remember her telling me how absolutely nasty they were. I saw it in 2016.

Trump was obvious a big role in making Twitter shit, but the Hillary Clinton stans snarkiness really turned me off of that platform altogether.
