from 2001 to about 2012 the meme narrative for left to right conversion was always 9/11 and Islamic terrorism, which has virtually disappeared from public consciousness since Trump (somewhat unexpectedly)

the new meme narrative for left to right conversion is strictly an identity one, beginning with Trayvon Martin, then Mike Brown and Ferguson, and now Kavanaugh

"strictly identity one, beginning w/ Trayvon Martin... Mike Brown" meh. I'm 90% with you on the basic framework, but i don't think its about race shit; its an intra-white-people culture divide i think Gamergate injection of SJW-stuff into 'mass culture' was bigger watershed

Replying to @Bugs_Meany
i don’t disagree it’s intra-white at it’s core, but just go look at the rhetoric surrounding Trayvon and Mike Brown and BLM more broadly; many many people, especially “alt-right” types, point to BLM as their “redpill"
