Red Son but he lands in the Australian outback.

The right is effectively a monolith: half a country rallying around rich white Christian men, to the detriment of everyone else. The left is the “everyone else”. Rather than one central idea, the political left is a patchwork coalition of various identities and ideologies.

It’s not what they want to know about, it’s what they find easy to talk about. They’re topics that everyone has some connection with, and with which you’re unlikely to cause a significant disagreement by bringing it up. You start with the easy stuff, and then use whatever comes up as a bridge to more meaningful conversation.
