I've been a member here for a long time. I don't post much because others here express themselves much better than I do. But lately I've been thinking about radicalization much more than usual. Because the trump cults batshit craziness seem to suck up almost all the air out of practically any discussion/topic OUR radicalization, the lefts, doesn't seem to get much notice. I have become more radical since the orange idiot has disgraced our country. How about you?

Some vitals on me: I'm old and in very poor health, I doubt if I'll be here for the next presidential elections. Possible but not probable. Been a Democrat since ..... forever. My first foray into politics was working a phone bank for Jimmy Carter in Denver after seeing him at a campaign rally there. Kind of gave up on politics after seeing him savaged by almost everyone (it seemed) during and after his term in office. Plus the fact that Jerry Rubin turned into a STOCKBROKER!!!!! Traveled in my work for 40+ years so it was kind of easy to not tune in to what was happening. Knew Reagon was a disaster for what I believed. Around the first gulf war I started getting my toes wet in politics again. Was ENRAGED by the swift boating of John Kerry! As a veteran I have to double down on that, ENRAGED! Anyway...... starting to ramble now.

I'm more "radical" now than at any point in my life politically. More open to what used to be considered radical anyway. So how about YOU? Would you say the maga era has made you more radical?
