It was for us because of the capitalist dystopia our government chose to pursue. If Trump being elected the first time didn’t convince people it’s a bad idea, nothing would. They have to experience the horrors of it firsthand to hopefully get it through their thick skulls why it’s a bad thing and the very thing that this country was originally founded to avoid.

This is such a frustrating and consistent issue. Every time I hear a story about a conservative changing their opinion, it’s because the consequences of their actions affected them or someone related to them. They can’t simply imagine how the consequences will play out or be bothered to care when it hurts their neighbors.
And even then, there’s like a 50/50 chance that they’ll just blame the Democrats for it and vow to keep voting for Republicans.
