Hey folks. Born and raised democrat here. It’s taken me 33 years, sadly, to deprogram enough to be here - but I’m finally here.
Thank you guys. This probably sounds absurd, but these past few years under Trump have woken me up to the fucking monsters many of my supposed progressive friends are. They don’t want progress, they don’t truly care who lives or dies. The establishment’s shroud is ripping a little bit at the seams.
Last week I quit my job of 6 years at a non-profit (that gets a tri-county milage) to pound the pavement and get my small video production company off the ground.
Every single Democrat friend of mine tried to warn, scare, or stop me because of shit like not having insurance anymore, etc.
Every single Republican friend of mine has been incredibly supportive and happy to collaborate.
I’ve been a fool, and really fucking wish I could take back voting for Clinton. Hopefully voting for Trump in 2020 will help make up for it.
It takes a big pair to admit something like that, so respect.
Starting your own company cant be easy, but ultimately we want you to be successful. You're one of the job creators now, making something out of what was seemingly nothing before. I want to see government step out of your way so you can be your best self.
There's no need to feel down about the loss or the 2016 election, all that matters is that you get back up and try again.
Keep your head about you, and you'll be just fine!
