Yeah, it's this weird mixed bag thing. In the US, I've found myself being able to pull people who were originally registered Republican fairly far left. People who bought a lot of the conservative propaganda but couldn't stomach Trump are now starting to wake up a bit, at least in my personal experience. But the ones who are still in the party are full of nothing but hate, and there are still plenty of them there.

We now live in a crazy backwards spacetime where literal socialists want ~~smaller~~ less government than the main "conservative" party does.

"Small government" was an euphemism for defunding public services in response to desegregation and wasn't intended as anything more and still isn't
