Just got back from voting early for Trump in Goodyear, AZ! Since I have been lurking this site every single day for a long time, I decided it was time to finally say, "Hi!".

TL;DR

Took me a long time to do this, since I used to be a Bernie Bro back in 2016, then I was solidly apolitical after he sold out. I even stayed apolitical after my former leftist "friends" pushed me out through gatekeeping just for having a conservative friend and accusing me of being a pedophile after I stood up to them. THAT WAS IN 2018. Granted, I was watching anti-SJW videos at the time, but I had a grave misconception planted in my head that liberals actually cared about minorities like me (I'm bisexual, but don't like to constantly announce it) at the time too. But things on the left just kept getting crazier and crazier before I finally started wondering...

...is r/thedonald really that bad?

Since that was the favorite strawman of those "friends" of mine, I naturally ended up finally checking it out in late 2018. You already know how the story is going to play out from here, it was a helluva lot better than just "not that bad" and got me to finally come to the right. Almost everything the left tells me turns out to be a lie in the end while almost everything the right (at least the populist right) has told me has turned out to be true. As just about every social media site I've been to or at least heard of just keeps getting worse and worse, making me want to SLAP MYSELF for once taking what I used to read on online forums and places like Reddit very seriously, confusing highly upvoted comments for how the general consensus actually thought, I feel this place has actually gotten a lot better with its newfound independency from Reddit. Oh yeah, and you already know how this is going to play out, fuck Reddit for purging every right-leaning subreddit, REDDIT IS ASSHOE!

END TL;DR (insert Filthy Frank "NOBODY GIVES A SHIT" MEME)

The basic slip is that I felt this was as good a time as any to finally come out, since I just voted straight Republican down the board at the polls. The only reason I did not wait for Election Day was out of convenience and needing to work. Those lines are going to be long on Election Day, and they are NOT going to be lining up for Biden, that's for sure. I saw the Trump banners and the buses coming back from that Goodyear rally, believe me. No way was I going to use that as an excuse to get complacent though, HELL NO. I'm with you all the way to drain the swamp FOR GOOD!
