I figured that vaccines and lockdowns would be the thing that brought them across to the right. And it's not surprising that the right welcomed them with open arms to swell their numbers.
You make an interesting point about fitting in. For me, it resonates that I would have a disproportionate perception of not fitting in. The 2 natural communities I would belong to, I don't want anything to do with. One of them being Alcoholics Anonymous.
I generally keep my past to myself in real life. Which creates a sort of glass wall between myself and others. I feel that the "hippie" community would be less inclined to judge me harshly for the life I've lived previously, than say, the average person.
But you've given me something to consider. Thank you :)
