I think this is true. It has been a long process but I think we are finally shifting the bell curve to the right. I started out as a leftist by cultural default. But I always had a true desire to solve problems. I hate misery and want to stomp it out. I was smart enough to figure out what really solves problems, then I was smart enough to realize, leftist ideals work the opposite as to what they claim to fix. This process has been happening to smart people for a long time. Restoration Weekend was attended by many people who took that path. But like Stefan says, now we are seeing the average person who does not have first hand experience dealing with these issues. Start to realize the Democrat Idea's do not solve problems.
It reminds me of trying to get the Police to put a 72 hour hold on a loved one. Everyone who was around the person on a regular basis knew they were off their meds and not acting right. But the person knows why the Police are there and can pull it together long enough to answer basic questions, so the cops say, they look OK to us and leave. Then as time passes, the behavior gets more and more bizarre until they go completely Coo Coo. This time when the Police come, they take one look at the behavior and say OK, time to strap this one to a gurney and take a ride to Acute Psych Unit.
That's the point the left is reaching. It is becoming glaringly clear that they are Coo Coo. Even to the most casual observer.
