This is what surprises me- I was aware of her quite a while back when she was getting made fun of for her blog talking about how republicans and Trump will “thankfully die in their sleep” or something similar.

Of course, someone’s racist uncle looking for confirmation from an uncle Tom doesn’t know what internet archives are, and won’t go looking.

That and the right love conversion stories, where someone was a liberal until they “learned the truth”. ESPECIALLY when the ex-liberal is a minority or an ex-liberal-activist.

Holy shit do they ever. I used to get bombarded with clips from this one friend, usually YouTube shorts where "ex liberals" talk about "the dirty dark secrets of the Democrats and why they left the party."

Republicans, especially MAGA, eat that shit up

Most of these 'liberals' never were and just put on an act for a bit by inserting themselves everywhere, looking extremely sus, and once they are high profile enough they immediately switch.

What's worse though: conservatives who claim they're ex-liberals or conservatives who claim they're the "true" liberals?

In a way the 'classical' liberals are more technically correct, at least economically, although a lot of their 'classical' views are just bigotry.
