I used to be a far left activist.

I want to hear your story. Would you mind if i responded again here tomorrow with some non-personal questions? I'm VERY interested in someone going from essentially leftwing brownshirt to Trump supporter.

What made you change sides? I've always noticed people switch to the right, but never the other direction

People just kept on trying to guess how the world could look radically different in 100 years because they want to be remembered like an abolitionist from 1700 is remembered so they invent insane civil rights arguments.

I wonder how well they're expecting to be treated in the future considering how they're currently treating abolishionists from the 1700s.

it seems to me many on the left are completely ignorant of arguments that would threaten their views, to the point they want to shut down opposing views so they just don't have to hear them. Congratulations on being open and able to question your own opinions

are there many others like you still on the left that could be swayed by logic and reasoning, or would you say, you're the exception?

abolitionists radically increased the black unemployment rate, yet nobody ever gives them flack for that

Thanks for sharing your story. Life is crazy, sounds harrowing but happy you made it out a better person.

You’re a very important ally for the truth and decency since you’ve been so deep into the other side. I hope you can sound the alarm and help others convert to sanity and help save our country.
