not fellow left-wingers - one way many people get pushed right is by watching right wing content that just shows lefties acting like idiots and then goes “omg look SJWs so dumb”. So people get turned off from feminism or progressivism before they have a chance to actually engage with it. Then, there’s only one direction to go when frustration sets in - right.
Just look at the amount of ragebait on (conventional) social media showing feminists or queer activists or woke people acting cringe. It’s the first step of the right-wing pipeline.
Anyone who says they became a right-winger because they hated their fellow left-wingers is lying.
But, of course, every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
