I mean I personally identify as left leaning.
I've lived most of my life in California.
friends and family? all left.
so then shit like this happens and everyone goes insane.
When trump was in office it was the right that were under the microscope and seen as "morons"
now it's flipped.
it will flip again soon enough
It's not an intelligence test.
it's a trust test, and a test to see if people will accept authoritarianism.
the right side of the political spectrum is not immune to this test.
in fact I'd say they're even worse, but that could be bias.
Oh... they will accept it.
