Trump was able to point out and make people aware of how corrupt and compromised our media is. As my username states, I formerly identified more with the left. I fell for the media tactics, I always thought the media was credible. Trump made me second guess that and slowly (about 2 years into his presidency, mainly after the Russia sham started falling apart) I became a Trump supporter and I now hate the media. And I think most people think that way, there are way more Trump supporters than the mainstream media leads these misinformed cnn viewers to believe.

Yeah, TYT and Walkaway got me here. I didn't watch mainstream news, so I thought watching TYT was me getting my information from reliable sources...They made a video about a gay jewish woman at a gay pride event, being asked to put away her Israel flag, she refused so was kicked out. TYT made this big thing about it, made the whole segment about antisemitism, when there was no evidence for it, most people don't know the first thing about Israel, and it was a gay pride event...Small thing, but I just knew they were so off on that, just on a common sense level. Then Dore spitting on Alex Jones, I've been spat on before, so I did not take kindly to that. The race baiting, accusing a white person of a drive by, was a black person, I mean list goes on...Then I found Tim Pool, red pilled me further, now I'm like Tim Pool is, ehh anyway. I've always been against abortion though. Then I started watching speeches and rallies of Trump, without the spin, and snippets, I kinda fell in love with that man, I was so misinformed, we should be able to bring a class action lawsuit. Anyway.
Yeah. All true. I had my red pill moment when I worked on the presidential campaign of Hubert Humphrey ( LBJs VP ) when he ran against Nixon in 1968. Humphrey and Trump were a lot alike except for the super model wife and a few billion dollars. Humphrey was a social conservative that would put 99% of republicans today to shame. He lost to Nixon. But 1968 is when the Progressive Party ( Communists) rioted at the Chicago democrat convention and they took over the party. In 1972, the democrats ran George McGovern, a leftist, against Nixon. I didnt like Nixon but I changed sides and worked for his campaign instead. Nixon got his second term. McGovern later opened a B&B up in New England -his first private sector job- and bitched about the ridiculous taxes and anti business regulations. I think that was George McGovern's red pill moment too.
