Early '90 CA AG/Insurance Commissioner(?) was embroiled in a massive scandal where: in all his years in office, he never once brought a case against any insurance company -- yet he always sided in favor of the insurance companies.
People noticed...investigation began.
He refused to step down. He also swore in court and in public he had no skin in the game with any insurance companies. He was very convincing, and a younger me believed him...just because he seemed sincere.
After roughly a year, his term ended quietly; however, he was immediately appointed to the board of directors of a major, national insurance company (can't recal the details, but I believe it was Kaiser Permanente).
The State leaders freaked out and immediately passed a bill making the office an elected position rather than an executive appointment, and also added a No-Hire/Non-Solicitation for two(?) years.
That was a giant redpill, just didn't know it at the time. The guy was a fucking crook, screwed over hundreds of innocent victims, and never saw one milisecond of jail.
My first red pill was a trip to Montgomery for a protest which I cant even rrmember. My sister and I were eating in a restaurant and there was a table nearby with dems and republicans who were just hours before screaming at each other in the chambers.
They were laughing. They talked about how the vote was going to go. They planned the entire thing ahead of time, even the shouting match.
That was the first time I knew that nothing was as it seemed. I was naive though about the scale of the corruption. I thought it was just Alabama politicians.
Hammer meets Nail.

Alabama unfairly gets a bad rap, but Alabama is one based and beautiful State in our Union.
Born and Raised a Tarheel.
