Lots of people suddenly realize some facts or the political implications of things they know, and quickly shift positions.

This is going on now with the alt-right, but can anyone think of good historical comparisons?When else have people had political awakenings?

I think it's notable that right now this kind of awakening is almost all going one way, although I suppose some have gone moderate->SJW

I regard that direction as less of a transformation, however. It's more of an evolution than a radical shift.
