I've heard of lots of people becoming horrible people politically after a medical problem, but I'm not sure I've ever heard the reverse. Like a KKK member sustaining a head injury and becoming a civil rights activist or something? I guess an injury can't make you smarter, but it sure can make you dumber.

Didn't watermelon-smashing standup comedian Gallagher turn out to be an angry right-winger until he had a heart attack? I thought he just chilled out after that.

How about George Wallace?

(Specifically his about-face on civil rights in the 1970s.)

That was actually his second about-face. He was pretty progressive as a judge (for the time, anyway) but then lost his first gubernatorial election (he was endorsed by the NAACP) because he wasn’t a staunch segregationist.

Here is a surprisingly good look at the complex history of George Wallace, delivered in the form of southern rock.

That was Gabrielle Giffords, and as far as I know she was for gun control before and after the shooting. She retired from politics after it happened, though.

She actually tried to kill herself after her fiancée died from untreated diabetes or something like that, and the suicide attempt quite literally broke her brain, so that’s where that came from.

Relatedly, Dianne Feinstein's crusade for gun control mostly stems from her literally being the person to discover Harvey Milk's bullet-riddled body. But she was probably at least vaguely in favor of it beforehand, so not again it's not a full side change.

ahahaha I hadn't heard about this

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/kim-jong-un-lookalike-provokes-north-koreans-in-olympic-melee-9960840

quote:

PYEONGCHANG: A Kim Jong Un lookalike who has been making mischief at the Pyeongchang Olympics danced in front of North Korea's female cheerleading team before being nabbed and hauled off by police on Wednesday (Feb 14).

The Kim impersonator, wearing thick-rimmed glasses and dressed in all black, sparked anger when he waved at the famed "army of beauties" at an ice hockey game between the joint Korea team and Japan.

Many of the cheerleaders giggled nervously and waved back, but when the fake Kim broke into an impromptu jig all hell broke loose.

Within seconds, he was tackled by three burly security officials, thought to be North Korean, before being frog-marched by police to a room inside the arena, watched by stunned onlookers.

"I walked past the cheerleaders and waved but then three rough-looking guys, not in uniform who I suspect were North Koreans, came out of nowhere and grabbed me by the arm," the Kim double, who goes by the stage name Howard X, told AFP.

"When I waved the unified Korean flag at them they got really pissed off and started kicking me in the shins."

After getting into a shouting match with the North Korean bouncers, the Kim lookalike pointed out he could not be arrested simply for looking like North Korea's leader.

"If you don't like my face there's nothing you can do about it - I was born this way," he protested.

However, Games security took a dim view and he was taken away by police officers.

"They didn't arrest me, I was detained," the Kim impersonator said.

"I didn't break any law. It took them a while to get a translator but they said it was for my own safety because some conservative people (in the venue) didn't appreciate my presence."

"Kim" also caused a stir at last Friday's opening ceremony in Pyeongchang.

On that occasion he and a Donald Trump lookalike sauntered nonchalantly past an accredited media section in an attempt to get near to the athletes, including the two Koreas, who marched behind the blue-and-white unification flag.

They were not able to get close to the VIP area, where American Vice President Mike Pence and the real Kim's sister Kim Yo Jong were in attendance.

Trump substitute Dennis Alan was not present at the hockey but "will be back soon", according to buddy Howard.

"This situation is totally messed up," he complained. "All I did was wave the flag. Everybody else was waving the flag. Long live democracy!"

I can't help but think this section;

Was a thinly-veiled "If we hadn't removed you, the NK guys would've taken you away and shot you in an alley somewhere" from the cops;

And even if she hadn't been, getting shot in the head is a pretty good reason to revisit your thinking on the subject.
