Sometimes I miss the 2016 version of myself, where I would get a mild dopamine boost about funny jokes about the orange man, or seeing a celebrity endorse my favorite DNC war criminal - blissfully unaware of global politics, war, and genocide.

    My experience was being pretty much radicalized by 2009 after Obama’s Wall St cabinet appointments, but having nowhere for that consciousness to go and just becoming alienated from politics until Trump, then still not having been exposed to anything left of Rachael Maddow, I started at lib and instantly moved left the instant I found anything else. For me it was a thread to pull rather than a pipeline.
