I was under the impression that one automatically became conservative because that was a survival technique embedded into our genes. So for that, a radical leftie becomes middle of the road. I still like freebeard's comment about hippies being conservative, never thought that way, but yeah it fit. They're probably republican nowadays, minus the guns but not necessarily so (or at least the genuine hippies / mugwumps I knew)
Even more thought provoking: republican and democratic mores swapped places sometime around WW2. Republicans used to be pro union.
