Lucianne.com links to a Fox News story about former liberals having an epiphany to become something else, perhaps a libertarian or even a conservative. Back in the day this was called "being mugged by reality" and those who experienced it were "neo-cons."
This is a new generation and perforce things need new names and titles, the current name for this phenomenon is "taking the red pill," which the article explains is a line from The Matrix films that suggests it opens one's eyes to a quite different reality. I suppose you could consider it the opposite of "woke" politically although the terms mean exactly the same thing - an ideological transformation.
Fox claims there is a whole community of 'red pill takers' online. Hey, dudes, welcome to thinking for yourself, it's habit-forming ... in a good way.
