This is one of my most surprising twitter finds to me - in the last 3 years, my twitter has had nearly no change of opinion on BLM. How??wpic.twitter.com/oMgdAA0MDp

The same people who were polled the first time, should be polled the second time. It’s hard to draw a correlation if that is not the case.
Opinion polls that measure political change across time very often don't ask the same people
There's a long-running poll on this https://civiqs.com/results/black_lives_matter?uncertainty=true&annotations=true&zoomIn=true …
The question is entirely a proxy for <do you like progressive politics>, and that is sticky enough that it hasn't changed much among your followers.
I guess that depends on if you’re taking black lives matter at face value or as support for the Black Lives Matter organization.
Hmm maybe what you're intuiting is a divergence from neutrality on both sides. I wonder if you would've found more polarization if you'd had 4 ordered options each time (SUPPORT!, support, don't, DON'T!).
I certainly think it's harder to be neutral about BLM today than it was in 2017.
Or is the answer to this question defined by people’s social pigeon hole, and so buffered from change?
That's very interesting, I'd guess very few opinions changed. Crazy how the ratio is almost identical even though the votes tripled. I'd guess 70% of twitter leans left, your tweets lean a little more right so 56/44 seems to be around the predictable outcome.
This seems to be a reflection of how polarized we currently are. Very had to change people’s minds on anything.
