    To follow up on this, I never heard about someone switching to leftist ideals after brain damage, always to the right.

      There’s a cool documentary Marwencol (2010) about a man who was beat up brutally and received life-altering brain damage. I can’t remember if it ever really touches on politics but he began a normal white dude and later on lived as a secret cross dresser who photographed GI Joes and Barbie’s in his backyard. Y’know the more I think about it maybe this actually still in line with the right.
