You can't annoy someone into becoming differently-hearted about abortion, the death penalty, religion in the public arena, taxes and their governmental expenditures, or any sort of organized culturally elite stylized policies. Even though we domesticate animals some humans have had repeatedly bad experiences with the cultural domestication process.

And politics relies upon these eternal differences.

They will hate leftist policy because it means that bullying becomes harder to do. Controlling resources is now out of their hands in a very direct way, and usually people that need to dominate resources to feel safe will not abide by others having access to resources that they can't control the tap to.

And so that gets transformed one way or another. If they are big and have no problem doing crime they roll that.

If they are big and they start with a problem with crime then they roll blue. That system creates a whole 'nather version of criminality and there is no cure for it there, either.

Then you have the leftist which is usually someone that has been bullied enough to recognize oppression yet has not the power nor the force to make change.

And yet when they do ...

What the people who say that actually mean is, "I was on your sports team until you told me what your sports team stood for."

It's an "I voted Democrat because muh daddy voted Democrat and his daddy voted Democrat" situation. They were always Republicans, they just were too ignorant to pay attention and realize it.

I felt that an upvote is not enough but I don't have a meaningful thing to comment so here is a jerma gif showing that I agree with your post:

I used to think I was leftist, because I believe in things like "healthcare" and "equal rights".

Then the leftists started screeching "bUt tHe gEnOcIdE!"

I guess I'm not a leftist.

Ehhh, the left is a big board idea. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's a favorite trick of the fascist to pretend to be on the left.

No matter what you call yourself even within the left, someone will jump down your throat about it. And labels keep shifting so it's a no win. You call yourself liberal and people are like "you're a liberal?! You're literally worse than Satan!" I thought being liberal as opposed to conservative was a good thing but ok. Nobody is good enough anymore, it's just every subgenre of leftists arguing about who is worse
