Everybody here probably tried to have an actual human conversation with a leftist at least once or twice in the last 10 years and figured out that once someone's infected by leftism, there's a 99% chance they're never coming back.
99% is a bit high of an estimate given that some of us started on the left, plus the whole Walk Away movement and now the recent uptick in the number of people abandoning the left in the wake of the ghoulish displays the assassination has exposed.
The demons are irredeemable, but I think it's a mistake to assume that there are no people that can be salvaged.

If they haven't walked away years ago, then they don't deserve to be salvaged. They've shown what they will approve of and prop up, even if they don't directly support, and that makes them morally repugnant all the same.
You don't get to "well I didn't think about it too hard" and "oopsie" when your side's mainstream platform was child mutilation and extreme violence. Not the shit they were doing under the radar and you were convinced was something upright, that's direct things they do.
I think he is completely misreading the situation. People are not afraid, they are angry. Angry people don't want to turn down the temp.
I want the left to double down on the rhetoric and the hate. I want them to expose themselves as the monsters they are.
We had a guy who wanted to turn down the heat, who wanted us all to peacefully talk to each other, and they shot him in the throat.

It's probably 95% or so if I'm honest, and the ones walking it back are too little, too late (see: JK Rowling, Graham Linehan etc.)
