Translation: I started listening to podcasters that also complain about political correctness, and I'm so easily manipulated that now I'll believe anything they tell me to believe.
Edit: if you find yourself typing something like, "you lefties never listen to other opinions," please keep in mind that there are plenty of people in this thread who disagree, and their comments are still up. Then, try going to a conservative subreddit and saying anything that challenges the hive mind.

Edit 2: ok, it's been fun, but I'm spending time with my wife and son, so I gotta call it quits and turn off notifications.
The real lie is that these people “changed” toward the right.
Ironically, these people actually changed toward the left and just don’t want to admit it. They know the right is batshit insane, which is why they won’t freely admit to voting with the right, even though that’s exactly what they’re doing.
Instead, they say “well I had to vote right because of what you guys on the left are doing!” They’re shifting responsibility for how/why they vote.
Make no mistake: in most cases, these are not people who ever did or ever would vote left. They were always going to vote right. They just realized how stupid the right looks and so they want some fabricated facade of separation between themselves and the right. They (try) achieving this by calling themselves centrists who were pushed away from the left. That is a lie.

Some liberal was rude to me online, so now I vote for fascists.
