And it wasn’t until I found myself down-voting completely innocuous posts on the internet that I finally started questioning my political beliefs. Why were a bunch of supposed Republicans going on about a murdered DNC staffer? Why was Hillary running to the right of Trump on war and trade agreements? Why was every single member of the establishment that dragged us into the Iraq war, bailed out Wall Street, and supported an unlimited trade deficit with China, in favor of Hillary Clinton, and hated Donald Trump?
Most importantly, why did simply stating these facts make me so upset that I felt the need to spend hours of my day getting angry and suppressing their speech?
I firmly believe Trump has the ability to hold a mirror to liberals, to expose their various contradictions. Think Trump is trying to destroy the constitution? Democrats are the ones talking about getting rid of the electoral college. Think Trump is a tyrant and abusing power? Democrats are the ones voting to give him the largest military budgets of all time. Think Trump is a racist? Democrats are fielding a fake African American (Kamala Harris is Jamaican-Indian raised in Canada) and a fake Native American. Think Trump is a threat to the free press? Two billionaires, Jeff Bezos and Michael Bloomberg, control esteemed liberal media institutions that are routinely prevented from doing their jobs as journalists.
I can go on and on. It took a long time for me to come around. But in the end it was the consistent messaging and support for the President I found on The_Donald that broke through my Mockingbird Media inspired haze. Thank you pedes, for refusing to be silenced.
Welcome to the light.
i welcome the new brigaders, they’re just self administering the red pill!
it's just a jump to the left and a step to the right...
if you have friends or family still trapped... a good push into the deep end of far left politics is usually enough to snap them back to reality when conventional matters hasn't worked.
democracynow and counterpunch are good choices... as they've torn apart each democratic candidate in ways that conservative media just couldn't manage.
if they're kooky, then try right leaning but completely gonzo is godlikeproductions - they heavily nutty but it's a gateway drug to the right for those friends that hang on places like lipstickalley
for older folk, it's digging through facebook and linking them to everyday people.. basically the closer they are to the life they living now, the more likely they'll find places they connect. tcm deals mostly with that crowd https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXgb4TOPW0q-1OUOLoyJxQ/videos
or showing them all the craziness, violence, attacks on Trump supporters, from the youngest of young to the oldest of old, of every background imaginable... they all start the same way, they don't believe it, fake news, but as shiff gets more real, they see all the evidence.. it begans to go all exorcist.
yoounger are most difficult because namely rebels without a cause, a clue and a desire to be cool but going about it all the wrong ways and won't believe you when you tell them whatever inane tidepod eating fad or mchammer pants won't be in style foreva... no matter the evidence... and they're far too perverted for any active punishment to work. they have to come to it organically.. but nature is structured, so it's not as if they couldn't be led there.
still, tho, since most have an eight second attention span until something grabs them.... memes and videos are the most effective but appealing to other requires search and jumping on the trends because in the quest for their individuality, they're desperate conformists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bNeNL5tvMs
