activist who work on democratic campaigns to solidly Republican.
Exactly how does that happen? Anyone?

who originally saw a career path on the left and then decided the right is where the money is at?

I'm sure people do change their outlooks but when I hear about well paid people suddenly seeing the (Republican) light, my first thought is money and career ambitions.

On edit: meant to reply to Tickle.

She may have felt her particular horse wasn't being respected enough by her "allies" so she changed "midstream" as it were just to stick it to those she felt betrayed the cause.
The OJ case was judged as police racism vice social misogyny. She couldn't see it was both. And frankly, a lot of feminists are racist, and vice versa, so I wouldn't be surprised that was a factor..

The fact that the Right loves to spotlight "Libs that switch" only strengthened her switch to RW nut causes.
It's all about the ego. And I don't doubt the monies to be made parading herself out in RW circles.

but am a little confused by the statement "a lot of feminists are racist, and vice versa" Is that really what you meant to say?

Brain glitch, I knew what I was saying, but it didn't all get out.
In my experience - going back to memories of watching student protests in 1964/65 - there are feminist activists that are racists. There are also racial equality activists that aren't feminists.
There are some activists who have been able to work on multiple issues at the same time with an eye to a comprehensive outcome, but again, there are too many who pick an issue and that's their only bread and butter issue. All others must take second place to their opinions.

Moderates and liberals find that sort of attitude ridiculous when Right Wing conservatives are single issue voters or activists, but progressives and liberals can be amazingly blind of the "radical horseshoe" when it comes to single issue Leftist activists.

I listened to left leaning talk radio back in the 90s?? It crashed and burned.
