Lost my job halfway through Obama's first term. Moved to the San Francisco Bay area to work as a part time contractor in my industry. Busting my ass to make my way up in a new company. And then I'd hear my friends start complaining that "they couldn't go on vacation because their unemployment finally ran out" and then the Wall Street protests begin. As I was Laser focused on making sure my family had enough to eat and that I maintained gainful employment, and the only people getting kudos are protestors refusing to work.

Nice!
Watching my liberal, male feminist friend completely lose his mind after the 2016 election. He lost any sense of reason and 100% bought into the mainstream propaganda. I was on the fence at the time, but watching him melt down made me re-examine my own position. Then I started reading up on our President and... well here I am.
Welcome!
Vaccines, 20 years ago.
Third grade. The teacher said we were going to learn about the classification of animals, something I was already interested in and had learned about from my parents and through the library.
She said there were mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and insects.
I raised my little hand and asked, "what about arachnids?"
She asked me what arachnids were so I told her they're things like spiders, ticks, and mites.
She told me, and this is a real quote, "I think spiders are mammals because they have hair".
That wasn't the first clue, but it was the most definitive clue that I was going to be on my own for my education, and anyone who blindly listens to what the teachers tell them is an idiot. From that point forward it's been a simple matter of fact that you can't trust anything some claimed authority tells you, and you have to double check everything for yourself.
My 6th grade teacher didn't know how to pronounce Copernicus..
Nice
Ron Paul, his books, and how media treated him during elections. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul
This was mine as well! Ron Paul made it clear our government has become a carefully (re)organized system intended to include only swampy elites.
I’ve know the left are traitors for a long time, but I was always fooled into thinking our votes were sacred and protected... Every election I felt more and more like I was becoming the minority. All the disinformation and censorship from Fox, Reddit, MSM helped make me believe it. Once I saw how blatant the media (including Fox) was censoring information about EVERYTHING, I started looking into news for myself.
At first I lost any trust in our voting system and figured there’s no point in voting ever again if it doesn’t count anyways. Then I started to see that I wasn’t in the minority any more and that our votes, although cheated from us, had been so massive that they had to be even more obvious in their fraud to hide it.
Now there is no going back for me. Either Trump wins this legally, or we’ve lost our country and we will have to take it back by force. Win-win for me I think.
Aside from all that, I trust Trump completely and he will either be the last politician I trust ever again or the first.
Or my meme response:
I was working part time in a five-and-dime. My boss was Mr. McGee. He told me several times that he didn't like my kind 'cause I was a bit too leisurely.
Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing, but different than the day before. That's when I saw her, Ooh, I saw her! She walked in through the out door, out door.
She wore a raspberry beret. The kind you find in a second hand store. Raspberry beret, and if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more. Raspberry beret, I think I love her.
Nice!
Bill Clinton sending jobs over seas. I was 22
I think my partner managed to redpill me subtlety over a few years. Kept drip feeding me arguments that aren’t heard on mainstream media etc and I couldn’t retort them. Full conversion by 2016 when we had the Brexit vote here in the UK and then after that Trump’s election. The meltdown from the left was hysterical and condescending in both cases which proved we were right in my mind. That and identity politics/woke logic just doesn’t stack up. It’s bloody stupid.
Sixth grade. All the wealthy liberal Democrat kids told the teacher what their parents told them - that public school integration was the right thing to do.
Found out shortly afterwards that I was going to the neighborhood public middle school which had gone mostly ghetto black because Democrats ordered it so.
Then I found out that all the rich liberal kids were going to all-white private schools.
Mine was when I was when I became a pagan and started talking to people about how gods are unlikely to be racist as they are higher beings and aren't likely limited by such things. I got bullied out of the community by crazy sjws. It didn't change my opinion at all about my religious beliefs. In fact it convinced me that the gods wanted people like me to stand against them. This of course eventually lead me here.
Bright Blessings! My Trump alter has a candle burning.
Blessings to you my friend!

Jimmy Carter.
Was always logic vs feels and was never interested in bs...
2016 election and how everyone went from loving to hating trump kicked my latent aspieness into overdrive. I had to know the other side of the msm story.
Went deep into Q then backed off, started seeing and being able to foreshadow [their] gameplans, and I havent turned off since.
Ive gone from having 15% patience for stupidity down to having 0.02% patience.
Now Im here shitposting, trying to redpill friends, 4k deep on Trump winning just hoping for 2021 to start on a high note.
A bit worried, a bit excited, a bit constipated and a bit aroused. A Trump win sheds hope on Canada changing but a Trump loss and its fucking over!
MAGA you aspies make this possible. Thank you.
yup either we have the most free feeling release of our bowels or the constipation continues to pack up like rush hour traffic on a hot and humid summer day...
Research on Borderline Personality Disorder after being abused by one. All the characteristics apply to the left.
Mine was living through the Clinton administration and seeing all the bullshit he and Hillary put those women through and then starting to peel the onion away on the Democrats as a whole over the next 20 years.
6th grade. My history teacher told us that Republicans=Nazis. That didn't sit well with me, especially since my parents are God fearing Republicans.
I have always been very conservative, based, MAGA... I already knew the media was corrupt during the Reagan years back when I was in elementary school. However, my red pill moment was the 2014 Republican primary runoff involving Chris McDaniel and Thad Cochran. Sundance, from The Conservative Treehouse, wrote extensively about the uniparty and this particular runoff election. There was a lot of fraud from the Haley Barbour side of the Republican isle. It was an eye opener and made me realize why so many Republican politicians are so cowardly. Many are just corrupt and controlled opposition. They talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. The election of 2016 made me realize that a lot of so-called Republicans were never on our side. Websites and commentators I went to for nearly two decades threw America under the bus for Hillary Clinton. It was a very sobering two years.
Love Sundance!
After seeing what happened in 2016. People lost their minds. Then I started to look into voting patterns and it got worse. Truthfully at this point, just how the founding fathers had qualifications to vote so should we. I don’t know actual percentages, but the fathers of this nation were obviously at the upper end of society and land owners followed closely with some being better off. Id say go back to a similar system. Basically the men in the top 10% incomes should be allowed to vote and that’s it. Even at my job in which I don’t work with anyone under the top 5% there are enough retards who vote emotionally, without a logical basis, I can’t imagine how it is at lower percentages. Granted I think that anything above 10% would be too stringent.
I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 because all I knew about him was what the MSM kept shoving in my face.
But I was excited about the Tax Cuts and Jobs act that Trump was pushing through right before Christmas in 2017. That process went on in congress for about 2 weeks. I couldn’t find any real news so I found myself glued to c-span as much as I could. Boring as hell but raw, unedited, live video. Got a lot of glimpses from that as to the real Donald Trump. Then I realized the entire MSM was functioning as a propaganda machine for the democrat party. They lied to me and got me to vote in a way that I would not have if I had known the truth. That pissed me off and I’m still pissed off about it.

Israeli NGO’s flooding the west with gimmigrants. The monster that’s Hollywood and the demons who lurk there preying in children. The rise of sexual degenerate behaviour given legal protection by groups like the ADL...
1982 Air Traffic Controllers strike. These were federal workers that were putting American lives in danger. President Reagan was fully justified is firing them.
Trannies allowed in the Women's bathroom when I had a 3 year old daughter.
I have several trans friends and for a long time this was a sticking point with me. It wasn't until I formed genuine friendships with male to female and female to male that I realized the gender critical feminists I followed were so right about so much! Had to break off my friendship with the male to female after they started hitting on me. My female to male friends make me so sad. Be a lesbian. Be a Tom girl. Their dads fucked them up. That being said I love me some Blair White and am always respectful and genuinely don't care who you sleep with. But the bathroom thing is freaky. I would NOT feel comfortable undressing with my male to female friend anymore.
