Hi Natalie, just wondering what you think has changed the most about your personal politics in the last 5 years or so?

In some ways I've moved further left as my preconceptions about what is politically possible in the US have expanded. In 2016 I was a Hillary supporter because I didn't think a candidate self-identifying as a "socialist" would have more than fringe appeal. That turned out to be wrong. I now think it's likely we will see major economic reform/restructuring sometime in my lifetime. In other ways I have become more pessimistic. The longevity of Trumpism, the mainstreaming of conspiracy theories, truth-indifference, and opposition to democracy in the Republican Party show that this country has real potential to sink lower than I previously imagined.
