I think someone here said left right is not a spectrum but a circle. If you go too far into the crazy left, you end up with the crazy right.
I know more than a couple people who I thought were the most liberal people I knew (but with essential oils/natural foods/pyramid scheme nutrion product tendencies), who were anti-pharma and mildly anti-vax before, who became off the rails republican supporters post covid.
I think Brand and RFK jr fit that bill, and there are enough of them out there that RFK jr actually has a little better than insignificant poll numbers.
