Tbh I think it’s dependent upon the person. I sadly will say I was a republican all my years until about midway through college when I was introduced to people with more diversity (from a tiny southern town). Once I was exposed to more views and given the option to express myself i definitely have slowly headed over to the liberal side. I’d put myself middle left leaning now whereas before I was definitely pretty hard core republican
I also grew up republican, along with my whole family, and then my family and I slowly migrated over to the left when we slowly realized how much covert racism and sexism and a general lack of empathy for others was embedded into republicanism. Our extended family is still mostly republican, but then there’s our family, very far to the left lmao
Same. My family used to be pretty republican. Not racist / sexist republican but more so bothered by LGBTQ / go guns/ anti abortion type of rep. We moved to a pretty hardcore rep area and I think they saw how crazy so many of the things being said were by republicans and they’ve definitely moved more middle as well. Not as far as me for my mom, but my sister is a little more liberal than she is.
i don’t even think communism is possible outside of small communities and villages. nations are highly organizational and it’s impossible to keep one stable and running with no government. and the opposite, total government control, is bound to be abused due to the nature of people who seek a lot of power
