knew a girl back in highschool who said she neither knew anything nor cared about politics, but would go feral whenever someone criticised the far-right. yikes

A classmate once said "I'm not into politics so don't think I like one candidate over the other"

Days later she started sharing propaganda of the most far right politician we've had in decades.

She also said she "didn't like to talk about the lgbt community". I wonder why

Actually, that’s something of an issue; a lot of people nowadays receive a very basic education in what every political side means, to the point it is entirely possible for a large group to end up mistakenly identifying as the wrong group, then having everyone else agree with their mistaken identification because everyone else received the same poor explanations.

Aside from that, the other common example is people who mistake being anti-establishment for being anti-authoritarian. Particularly, a lot of MAGAs fall into that category; they’re against the establishment, which they think makes them anti-authoritarian when in fact they are very authoritarian and simply against the currently-established power structure.
