I can't believe this needs repeating here at DU...

[Tommy Carcetti]

...but yes, you can be a nudist "hippie" from Berkley and still be heavily indoctrinated by ultra-right wing "MAGA" style conspiracy theories and ideologies.

They are not actually mutually exclusive.

1. 1980 was over 40 years ago.

[Iggo]

5. And 1967 was 13 years before over 40 years ago.

[Coventina]

2. Just look at the anti-vax crowd. Lots of "lefties" there.

[Elessar Zappa]

3. There's plenty of "hippie" magas.

They’re into organic food, new age spirituality, etc. and at the same time are bigoted right wingers.

[tirebiter]

13. Manson came out of the counterculture and prison combined.

Free love made for easy pickin’s for them that had some confidence

[GusBob]

4. can you be all that and mentally ill too?

I mean aren't all MAGATS pretty much mentally ill?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

6. There's certainly SOMETHING wrong with them

Whether what that is necessarily meets the textbook definition of 'mental illness' is a bit more nebulous.

[BlackSkimmer]

7. And you can live in, or be from, the south without being a racist MAGA.

Many do not get this.

[Chainfire]

12. Thank you!

[BlackSkimmer]

14. You're welcome.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

8. Esp. not when you have people like Dore and Rogan out there reaching large audiences

Who are ostensibly 'liberal' but at the same time so far left they come off as being right in so many ways.

[Elessar Zappa]

10. Rogan's not liberal or left wing, is he?

I’ve never listened to him but I always assumed he was a bro-type libertarian/right winger.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

11. I haven't listened much either but I don't think he's anti-choice, pro-theocracy, that kind of stuff

I never really saw him as 'right' until his anti-COVID-precaution stances, but I could be misremembering.

9. Repeating? It's a strange thing to say once
