For most of my life (38) i've considered myself a left leaning anarchist (i like the idea of worker cooperatives, but would never force my ideas on anyone else. I've always been anti establishment and anti gov.
But i gotta say i got red pilled hard in 2016. How? Just watching the fucking media and the way they treated Trump. I always knew the media lied but this was overdrive watching the swamp/establishment try their hardest to reject this outsider.
Watching the left buy up all the lies and bullshit just made my stomach churn. I can never consider myself left again.
Trump is the first leader i've wanted to follow.
That's my red pill story. What's yours?
When Obama won the Nobel Prize...but tbh it was like small red pill doses over time. Trump’s poll ratings during the primaries in 2015 and 2016 made me sit up and watch. He was resonating with the public. He was saying something that just connected with ppl. I thought he was running as a joke but then I saw what he did to Jeb! I saw what he did to Hillary (the charity roast dinner). Then I saw him doing exactly what he said he was going to do. He took on China, he built the wall, he banned travel from terrorist-compromised countries. The economy boomed, the data got better, the numbers improved. And the whole time, the media and elites spewed vile rhetoric on him and his family. The went after anyone that associated with him. The tell all books, the prime time interviews, the anonymous sources. They hate him. And I finally realized why - it’s because he is a major threat to everything they know and want. He exposed them all.
