    Great Podcast recommendation here! ‘Behind the Bastards: How the Dilbert guy lost his mind.’
    Also all their other stuff.

        Might not be that weird, I’d bet one leads to the other.

        On a 100% anecdotal note, I had a liberal uncle that had a massive personality shift after a motorcycle accident, and became a massive piece of shit and trump supporter after his recovery. Would not surprise me to find that brain issues turn people into asshole conservatives.

          Boomers and Gen X’ers had the highest exposure to fumes from leaded gasoline. Removing it in the 1980s literally caused the crime rates to plummet significantly year over year. That’s Trump’s stronghold demographic - people whose minds have been completely addled by lead poisoning over time.

      But they didn’t. He was a racist asshole in 2004, he just thinks it’s acceptable now. No losing of mind, no mind virus, no radicalization. Just Trump making it acceptable to be in the kkk again.
