I'm like you, pede. Back on reddit I lurked on td for a good 6 months before I was willing to jump into the conversations. I came from r/politics. 🤪 I know, I was one of the r/politics crazies. I was a full blown antitrumper. Then I was there for a long time and saw so many wild things most couldnt even comprehend. Its like td was the lense of reality or some wild shit. I'd see stuff at td way before anyone else brought it up. We were and are way ahead of the curve!

I also am not a meme maker but I've been focusing on my business and my craft instead so I figure that more than makes up for my inability to meme. I cannot wait until my store is open for business. Every day is a day closer to getting my store open and making america great again. I've had to learn so much stuff all the way from accounting to working with my hands, sharpening tools and learning about the leather industry and all the cool little details in between. Its taken years just to get to where I am, which is only the beginning! Progress is slow at times because it turns out you actually have to learn some skills to run a competitive business 😂 makes you go bald early I swear.

It's not even about the money to me. As long as I have food In my stomach and I'm not starving then all i want to do is try to help do my part in creating more jobs for Americans. Even if it means i have to work all alone for a bit all by myself while I learn how to hire off responsibility as I grow. Which hasn't happened yet considering I'm just getting started.

I appreciate people like you specifically because I know you were literally just like me.

Dont tell anyone but I honestly thought r/socialism was speaking more sense than anyone else eventhough I changed my mind quickly after discovering outside ideas. I credit places like this and people like trump with saving me and theres nothing I can do to return the favor besides dedicating everything I got to keeping America great and being there for the people who are just now waking up from the same brainwashing I was subject to only a few short years ago.

I really genuinely love these anonymous pedes, whoever they are in reality. Only a few years ago I was lurking just like many are now. Wondering if I was going crazy only to discover these people. Assuring me the crazy is actually me discovering my sanity again. Nowadays this place is like my youtube darn nearly. I spend a lot of my free time here trying to be apart of the conversation whether I'm making a difference or not. If I wake up even just one lost soul then it's a success in my book.

When I came to td I was basically a lefty that got abandoned from the left and the pedes on r/td took me in as family and I'll never forget that eventhough it's was just our online forum. I genuinely thought I was all alone out there. Only to discover this place after bouncing from r/democrats to r/liberals to r/centrists to r/ libertarian to r/conservative or whatever they were called. They lead me to ben Shapiro who lead me to candace Owens and although we are able to agree and disagree on things, either way I found the americans I was desperately hoping existed almost without even being aware.

To any of the lurkers I know are out there reading this, we are with you and we will never stop fighting for you 🙂 we are Americans and our great beautiful flag means more to me than what the color of your skin is, and that's coming from an ex democrat that used to think black people were crazy if they voted for trump lol.

Keep it real and dont forget to keep america great
