Good liberals getting mugged by reality is a phenomenon that Dave Rubin started to notice a few years ago but that has increased recently, where people who might not have had a strong party affiliation (during the lockdowns) realized the left’s liberalism is not working for them.

“When I would go to these rallies to open up the state, I would meet good liberals. These were not Republicans. Maybe they were Democrats, but they were usually apolitical people. ... They were business owners, restaurateurs—things of that nature— who suddenly couldn’t go to work, who suddenly couldn’t put food on the table, etc.,” said Rubin. “And then suddenly, they [liberals] were like, ‘Whoa, now I see it,’ the thing that I’ve been talking about for years that something is wrong with the left, that liberalism is not working in a modern conventional sense. ... I think once you see it, you can’t unsee it.”
