Same. I wasn’t anti Trump in 2016, but all I knew about him past 1994 or so was what the media reported. All I knew was that there was no way I was voting for Hillary Clinton.
So I took a survey about my stance on issues, and I matched most with GEOTUS on policy positions. I then started looking for the context behind the clips the media played ad nauseum.
I was equally surprised and PISSED that the media had been lying through their teeth about him, and then I wondered what else they’d been lying about. I was red pilled because of their OBVIOUS animosity and ferocity towards him.
Exactly!! In 2016, my 84-yr old mother was in tears because "Trump was going to cut her Social Security"! Called me all sorts of names for not agreeing with her to the point where I had to stand up and say I was leaving if she wouldn't agree to disagree. The power of MSM is not to be underestimated.... She even imagined herself buying a gun and "taking him out" herself...
Has any politician actually cut social security or do they just raise the age? As a reminder, when it was set up in 1935 the average life expectancy was 66. It's 78.5 now.
There have been better COLA increases under Trump... and of course, he never said he'd cut that program. The MSM lies, and she believes it all. So sad.
Were you able to talk sense in to her
I can’t stand all these people who act like everyone is supposed to give a damn about their social security.
As if it’s some right. These shitheads think it’s some kind of retirement plan. “I paid into it.”
Not like your dumbass thinks you did.
You know what's wild? Back in the day the stars and media loved him. It's not too hard to find old videos of him rubbing elbows with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Joy Behar on the View practically sitting in his lap...it boggles the mind.

Jesus. I'm sorry that happened to you.

Well, things got better in the intervening 4 years, but now I can't talk to family due to them voting for Biden.... screw them. I'm moving on.
It's amazing how much of what the MSM said back then has turned out to be wrong, and that their viewers just ignore it
Yeah... 4 years later, and she doesn't even remember the part about wanting to buy a gun to assassinate him! OMG
