Trump somehow contributed to that radicalization (he is not the sole responsible for it though). I think many who support him don't see it that way, and instead interpret his actions as some sort of cheat codes for progress that cut through a lot of bullshit. I am skeptic of his agenda.
I am, however, also cautious about many of the leftist ideas, specially in the last decade. If made to chose though, I would definitely go left.
I think I'm an orphan of a deceased left that doesn't exist anymore. A left that cares more about things like education and healthcare than about how they look on social media. I don't see much value in discussing leaders (this comment is a rare exception) or amplifying partisan narratives.
"If made to chose though, I would definitely go left."
This is part of the problem I think. Many people (dare I say everyone) doesn't fit neatly in a left vs right. On certain topics, definitely, but not like a sports team.
So why do we just assume this from someone having a R or a D on their voter card or who they voted for last time?
