Ooh we doing ideological trajectories?
Grew up rightwing Christian in OK. Read Ayn Rand in hs. aNaRcHoCaPiTaLiSt in uni. Everyone was smarter than me in grad school, so I slowly moderated. Went woke after self-led woke studies. Radicalized against wealth inequality after oligarchs went mask off.
okay, just for reference: I grew up the son of a Cuban immigrant banker in a very white tristate suburb, got negatively polarized by Iraq War, had few friends, went to college, made friends and learned things, became a liberal, moved abroad, saw liberalism failing to stop fascism, became a socialist
