Leftists who turned right with age
When people, media, and political parties who were left-leaning got tired of their left-leaning ways. It can happen in two different ways: it can be a sudden shift in allegiance or a slow rightward turn over the years. This phenomenon can also involve getting deep into religion (usually Christianity (at least in Christian-dominant nations like the United States; in places where other religions are dominant, like West Asia or South Asia, turns to those religions are more common)), being involved in reactionary movements and right-wing identity politics, or free-market absolutism. Many of these people devolve into fascists and dictators (such as Mussolini and Putin). Also some of the politics involve accusing others of being snowflakes over their methods.
