Maybe I'm being unreasonably charitable here, but BlueAnon types strike me as the sort of people who have the potential to be redpilled. They're passionate about defending American institutions, the problem is they live in an alternate reality where the institutions are run by honest people and MAGA is a dangerous outside threat.
Get them digging where they're not supposed to and they could become disillusioned, and subsequently enraged at finding out they were lied to about everything. I've even met some based people who got here through that exact process.
They exist in this paradoxical state of becoming "conspiracy theorists" precisely because they have to make what the MSM tells them make sense. That level of cognitive dissonance makes people lash out, but it's also vulnerable to being subverted.
I don't think BlueAnon types can be Red Pilled, I think that Leftwing Populists can be. There's a big difference. The BlueAnons are rationalizing any excuse they can to support the narrative, while the Leftist Populists actually see a lot of the bullshit the establishment Democrats are doing to them.
