I don't think so. There are examples of leftists being criticized by other leftists for having been "right wing" in the past, such as Adam Something being criticized by BadEmpanada, but it is usually as a vehicle for expressing grievance over some other perceived transgression - or otherwise traces the lines of a division which is basically interior to leftist communities themselves. This is very different from them viewing the individual as insufficiently leftist simply because they used to be a "right winger". That is not exactly how the leftist communities work.Most of those people get rejected. The modern Left doesn't practice forgiveness.
There is far more division and far more conflict within leftism than between leftists and those outside of leftism, because leftists signal boost minor personal, ideological, or financial disagreements within their community, and then shit fling to see what sticks. Obviously, if it rhetorically benefits them in the moment, they'll use whatever they need to in order to turn other people in the community against the person they don't like.
As long as you fellate them, they don't care if you used to watch Jordan Peterson. Doesn't even register as a blip on their radar. That is, until they've decided it no longer benefits them to like you, then they'll use anything they can against you.
