I redpilled myself trying to gather information to defend Democrats against Republican attacks and it turned out the Republicans were fucking right.
Spez: Just had to say this is the greatest community on the planet. Thanks for all of the support and look at that Up Trump count! TDW continues to grow stronger every day! MAGA my brothers and sisters!
lmao
A self-administered red pill is the best kind
Welcome
At least it isn't a self administered suppository
Well if I’m going to need a suppository, I sure as hell hope it’s self administered.
Hint: It's not. Better pucker up.
Yeah, its like when the doctor says before your colonoscopy to relax, take a deepbreath and you wont feel a thing. Well, he fucking lied.
This?

Kek
I was anesthetized, and the fucking colonoscopy was the worst thing ever.
I remember I kept waking up to wail and to berate the tactless barbarians driving a bus through my guts and ask them what the hell happened to them that made them choose THIS out of all the medical specialties
I don't know how I'll...gut it up for the next one
Sounds more like an anesthesiologist fuck-up than an examiner one, tbh. Do you have any medical conditions that make you hard to sedate?
There's no way a colonoscopy should be more likely to wake you up than having someone rip open your chest to take out your heart and put a new one in, or any of the other major surgeries people are routinely put under for.
Gov Newsom is in charge of suppositories.
Like the journalist who set out to debunk Christianity using historical records, science, and general logic but ended up proving it to himself. Wrote about it in a book, "Case For Christ."
Yeah, no one with any sense took that man seriously. He is a literal laughing stock because of that book. https://www.alternet.org/2019/03/how-case-for-christ-author-lee-strobel-fabricated-his-best-selling-story/ Follow that link to get a small taste of the giant rabbit hole that I call, "The lies of strobel".
You cited "alternet." 😆 Hey did you read the latest article about the dangers of Capitalism by Noam Chomsky?
You might want to brush up on logical fallacies. Strobel is a verfied quack by many credible sources. Cry some more cucktard.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5IFMreGfj6U
People have literally wrote books tearing strobel to shreds, even fellow Christian's. Look it up. He is objectively a fraud and laughing stock.
Oh yeah, here's a guide for simps. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/daylightatheism/series/the-case-for-a-creator/
I'm no Strobel fan, but those are both incredibly weak "debunkings".
Tbh the burden of proof lies with those making the claim. So it's very safe to say their is no god and jesus never existed. Just like unicorns aren't real either. Actually having to discuss this with adults is beyond embarrassing. Religion is the number 1 weakness of the conservative party.
Actually belief in religion is the conservatives greatest strength. When all other institutions fail (like we’re seeing now) the house of god is all that remains. I sincerely hope you’re not raising children in the dark godless world you have created for yourself
Is it a logical fallacy to laugh at a scumbag loser like you?
The logical fallacy you just committed is called an ad hominem. I'm not a scumbag because I believe In facts over fictional nonsense.
Good. I will keep using it.
Not a shill you retard. I'm a conservative who doesn't need fairy tales and nonsense to do what is right.
It literally is a fairy tale.
Yep welcome to the Right side, where every adult with a functioning brain arrives.
And common sense.
And the best memes.
It is really painful really, worse when it is very slow and you fight against it.
Speaking from experience. The return on investment is worth all the pain.
Same. Happened in 2016 before the election. TheDonald is a flytrap turning lefards into based chads.
The irony is the ones remaining on the left are the totally insane ones. Explains a lot
JFK + Donald Trump = Pro 2A, Pro military, pro low taxes, both anti-abortion, both religious, pro nationalistic.
JFK championed the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 that allows Presidents to use tariffs as a negotiating tactic. Trump has used it masterfully.
At the Mormon Tabernacle in 1960, Kennedy said, “The enemy is the communist system itself — implacable, insatiable, unceasing in its drive for world domination.”
JFK in response to abortion “Now, on the question of limiting population: As you know the Japanese have been doing it very vigorously, through abortion, which I think would be repugnant to all Americans.”
During Kennedy's reign, spending increases were concentrated on the military, the defense budget rose 20% and he boasted that he had “doubled the number of nuclear weapons available in the strategic alert forces” as well as “increased the tactical nuclear forces deployed in Europe by over 60%.”
JFK's Democrat party is gone.
JFK would be a Republican today.
"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" -JFK
“We will no longer surrender this country or its people to the false song of globalism” -Trump
Current Democrats are Communists/Marxists
I remember when democrats were fairly libertarian and the Republicans were the religious right. Boy how those posts shifted.
Growing up, liberals kinda = hippies from what I was told. They just wanted to be left alone and like going outside, against taxes and war and big government and believe that people should not be bothered by other people for what they think and believe. They think that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone should love one another.
Boy were they wrong.
They we never like that. They have always been exactly what they are now, it is just that the mask is off since the right is pushing back now.
Agreed - they were anti war because the war was against the communists... they were for free speech because without it they had no platform to subvert.. they claimed they wanted to live and let live because they were the ones who were the counter culture - as soon the shoe was on the foot, they changed their tune quickly. Useful idiots.
Fuck the leftists. They scream that Trump is racist and is dividing the country but in reality, they are the one that is racist and dividing the country.
They were indeed useful idiots, but they started out as described above. Then little by little the left started poisoning their minds until we got where we are today
Maybe. But I’m old and I remember what I remember.
That was basically how I felt, (the description above) but that's why I registered as an Independent. I never switched either, till the Summer of 2016 when I became a Republican because I wanted to vote for POTUS in the primaries.
No. We were JUST like that.
And the authoritarian religious right scared the crap out of us.
Many of us were nominal Dems at best only when they were supporting free speech and opposing war, and the vast majority were mostly apolitical outside critical issues like war and free speech.
But.....and this is true.... The lyrics "traded their Deadhead sticker for a Cadillac" choices in life turned a huge swath into neoliberals, not "hippies", and they chased dollars as in-group activists or profs or pols etc.
And another huge chunk got too comfortable with influencers and MSM adopting counter culture as cool, had no grasp they were slowly being indoctirinated to support everything they opposed.
What IS true NOW is the drastic and very public shift over the last 4-5 years slapped many of us old school true liberals awake, and we followed the earlier mostly GenX skeptics who caught on closer to 2008 that liberal or Dem next to a pol's name no longer meant what we valued- and was in fact directly opposing us.
Many ended up "here" from the second wave because the dramatic dropping of masks on the left, and in many "liberals" and Dems who were in reality what I now call Clinton neolibs, was even more terrifying than the 80-90s religious right were.
Refusing to accept that trad liberals were naive due to a lack of political awareness and being fed large doses of propaganda- and are honestly recognizing good allies in Trump supporters and trad conservatives- is destructive in the extreme to keeping a cohesive voting force that will help hold the fort against the rabid Marxists and globalist scum from both sides.
If I were around in 1960 I would have voted for Nixon and been disappointed but ultimately hopeful about JFK. Johnson wasn't terrible but the party was going downhill. Carter was a good guy but wasn't a good fit for the presidency. Bill Clinton was a rapist. And you know the rest. I long for the days when both parties had reasonable platforms.
You're talking about LBJ not being "terrible"? Everything you see today, all the hardships faced in the inner cities, the victim culture, the welfare, the handouts, etc.. that all stems from LBJ's Great Society. He made that Marxist/Intersectionality bullshit law by decree.
Describing anything about that man, including his killing of JFK, as "terrible" is too good for him.
I guess you're right. Forgot about some of it. Before my time.
I can't say I'd agree that he was behind the assassination. Involved or aware? Sure. Orchestrated it? Doubt it.
I don't know, man.. I can't look at that picture of LBJ smiling while Jackie still had brain matter on her dress and think anything other than he had a major role in that assassination.
LBJ was a real slimey cock sucker.
Seriously, LBJ wasn't terrible? Even as a very young child, I saw a "video" or "clip" of him on TV - not going into the details of what all was involved, & I certainly wasn't expecting it, but I felt something like the wind had been knocked out of me. I knew he was an evil person. I never said anything to my family members about it, but I wondered if anyone else saw what I saw, and why no one said anything.
fuck LBJ .. I blame him for the inner city ghettos
I blame the party moreso than Johnson.
No wonder they killed him.
As a side node, Japan does has a serious issue with overpopulation though.
Japan has a problem with a growing amount of elderly to support, but low birth rates.
Better late than never. Welcome to the club!
Honestly, my positions haven’t really changed. Regular blue collar Democrats used to agree with me. Now the Dem Party has gone full Commie Retard.
I’m more of a Trumpublican because fuck Bush, McStain, Cheney, Rumsfeld and that whole Cabal.
I used to be a moderate, now I'm a right wing zealot because I think the constitution of the greatest nation on earth was a good idea.
It's funny except it really isn't. Welcome patriot we are glad you found us. Happier to find you.
That's like 99.9% of us here. Trump is a continuation of the anti-neocon, Ron Paul inspired tea party movement.
I've been a Republican all my life. Back during that era, it was common among Republicans to say we had to hold our noses to vote. The line was that extreme ideology was unpalatable to the general public, so if we stayed close to the center, we'd get the votes, and at least part of our agenda would be put into place. The truth is, Republican voters have always believed in the agenda Trump is putting forward now (Or, at least, most of it. I don't agree with EVERYTHING Trump is doing, and am of the opinion if you agree with 100% of what any politician says or does, you're nothing more than an acolyte.) The party just wasn't willing to put up anyone with a backbone to drive our agenda forward. It'd been that way since Reagan left office.
nailed it
Globalists pushed the lie that being pro-Constitutional liberty was unpalatable, so no matter which party won, the globalists' agenda would be moved forward. They were playing the long game, the destruction of America at so gradual a place we wouldn't notice until it was too late. They made up "good reasons" for all their counter-productive policies and controlled the media to sell these policies to us. They controlled and shaped the two major parties so neither one stood for American liberty as it was envisioned by our founders. Trump represents a big shift back to our founding principles.
Like in Star Wars. Didn't matter who won the war, Senator Palpatine / The Emperor was going to be in charge of the winning side.
Hindsight sucks, don't it?
I agree with both of you. I was a Ron Paul supporter because he was the closest thing to Reagan and wasn't part of the globalist swamp. I couldn't stand Bush, McCain and Romney. Now, Democrats like those guys more than us Trump supporters do.
I even liked Ross Perot back in the day. Everyone made fun of him because he would bust out his charts and pointer but I liked it.
Ya hear that giant sucking sound?
Heaven forbid biden wins there will be a giant sucking sound coming from china.
That's just Big Mike attempting to suckle on Barry's infinitesimal ding dong.
Thanks a lot Pal.
Damn right fuck Bush and McCain. I’d take a bullet for Trump though, I’ve never seen a President love his country so much.
Welcome to the common sense side of the Internet
"I didn't land on the right wing. The right wing landed on me." -Adam Carolla
Agreed. 95% of us here despise Republicans like McCain/Bush/Cheney
I HATED Hillary Clinton. I read the Wikileaks e-mails. I didn't vote for Trump but I've now been on the Trump Train since about July of 2017. This was after Democrats kept forcing me to defend him with their Russia Russia and Charlottesville nonsense. I was constantly called a racist, sexist Drumpftard Bigot because I knew they were lying about both and refused to let them get away with it. I laughed my ass off the night Trump won at all of the sad sack Fake News talking heads in tears. I never had TDS so I was just like, "Holy Fuck! This is gonna be nuts!" I saw the Michael Moore "Human Handgrenade" video and I thought that's exactly what we were about to get. We got so much more! Best President ever!
That Michael Moore... he made one of the best MAGA commentaries i've ever seen to this day with that vid. Thanks, fat.
Yep
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UDL3Yjl31K8
Great video.
What makes Trump unstoppable is that he has done everything by the book, following all the laws. It is why the Dems can't find anything to impeach him for. Its why they cant stop him using liberal judges. Its why libs grit their teeth - to them, its natural for a politician to be corrupt, and it irks them to no end that they can't find corruption on Trump.
Really Peter Navarro, Mike Pompeo and President Trump are the ones that are bringing down the greatest evil we have ever faced in the 21st century.
Funny how people only wake up to the right, they never "wake up" to the left
I have some woke friends that I don’t want to red pill because I don’t think they could handle it or else it would destroy their life and career.
There is no going back.
Dew it.
Dooooo it
Insert Shia LeBeowulf gif here
Yes, absolutely DO IT
You have to bro. If they are your boys you must help them see the light
We're fighting for our country and our lives. Some will choose the blue pill, but red pill anyone you can.
I never thought about it that way but you're right. They are indoctranited by the government at an early age. Up until 2016 you had to be an idiot or not paying attention to notice the bias and corruption. Now that bathouse barry legalized propoganda it's harder to find real news for the normies. The brainwashing is thick now.
If it comes to a RINO or a Dem, I’m voting for the RINO. Once they get in, it’s up to the MAGA Republicans to get them in line. We need to get them out of all of the power positions.
We can’t afford to lose a single seat to the Communist Dems.
I haven't seen a centrist dem in many years. The party is so far left anyone even close to centrist is by default a republican now.
the centrists have been switching parties at a staggering pace.
I agree. The Dems purged their moderates years ago. The DNC control who gets in and gets their financial and tactical support, and they're not taking applications from moderates these days.
Welp.....the globalist objective is to take down America (and I won't be surprised to see this by around mid-century). If the RepubliCANT party does not sort itself out quickly...America will go. It is the only nation protecting 'freedom of speech'. Interesting times ahead. I'm not sure many leftists appreciate where they are taking us.
Just be aware than the press insist on using "The European Political Axis" of from 'Government controlling people directly' to 'The government using the corps to control the people.'
The "Centrist Republicans" are pretty much precisely the "We love Big Business without bounds" people.
The more grassroots of the right is nowhere near that point of view - because America isn't on the same political axes. There's a reason Trump gets "94% Republican support" ... that other 6% is what passes for our leaders.
Closer to Jacksonianism.
The whole point of Jacksonianism is: "You leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. You play fair with me and I'll play fair with you. But if you fuck with me, I'll kill you." --Steven Den Beste
And Trump is a huge fan of Jackson, as I am.
It's like the press is on a direct mission to mislead even the right about what the right and actual "centrist Americans" think.
Jacksonian heroes in movies everywhere ... where their core "flaw" is supposed to be "Not being a Karen" because "The world just can't work that way."
That's because Jackson dismantled the second central bank. (Trump is working on the third, but shhhhh about that, 'kay?)
As it turns out, President Trump is pretty much always right, and it makes them crazy.
When I think oh no this time he has gone too far....
No that happened in 2016 and now I know better.
I'll never forget when I did it to myself too. 2016, I heard about these so called white supremacist rallies that DRUMPF was hosting. I decided to watch one live to humor myself.....
Then I watched the MSM news coverage for that same rally later that night. The coverage was NOTHING like what I saw with my own eyes.
From then on, every time the media made some wild claim, I decided to look into what REALLY happened. And that was that.
Yea - that shit is REALLY stark. Sort of like watching a giant building in flames as people scream and riot - and a reporter saying this was a "mostly peaceful protest". The gas-lighting now is so thick its painful.
That's what redpilled me too.
"Literally Hitler"? I'd better watch one of his rallies and find out what Hitler says.
wtf?!?! Not one Jew gassed! I was told there would be concentration camps!
Haha same here. They twisted stuff so much I had to see for myself, and then I saw the truth. Now I there's no going back for me.
what republican attacks ?
I'm guessing he means arguments, which he thought of at the time as attacks while he was on the left.
Republicans pounce!
It's super effective!
As a communist I wanted to destroy the United States and supported Ron Paul to collapse the empire. He kept telling people to study 'Austrian economics' and I thought what is this crank talking about now? So I did. Turns out it is the systematic destruction of the socialist ideology by some of the most brilliant minds in history, so that was awkward.
Similar story here. Watching Trump chew up and spit out the entire Republican primary field in 2016 definitely took me from "I hate this asshole" to "ok I reluctantly admit this asshole's hilarious and he's killing it" so I was already primed for the pill, but what really did it was just doing my own research into each side's factual claims.
Because You'd Be In Jail.
thunderous applause
That's the exact moment I started supporting Trump. I hated Hillary and all the rest of the old guard, but I thought her victory was a forgone conclusion. I was in a pretty dark place, until I heard that sound bite. Started memeing hard on FB when you could still get away with it. Won Wisconsin in a tight race...I like to think I played a small part in him winning my state and ultimately the election.
I didn't actually think he'd be any good even if he won, but I've been pleasantly suprised.
Hard pill to swallow though. Out of college I was a hard core liberal. I learned quick after traveling and living NY. Dems are blood sucking crooks. There are bad Republicans as well. This is the first Admin trustworthy in my lifetime.
Orange Man Not As Bad As Has Been Purported.
At least you were smart enough to call out BS on the Repubs. That's usually how the RedPill starts. Ask Brandon Straka.
Same here. I grew up In rural Kansas, so pretty conservative. Like a lot of kids who move away after school, I considered myself more liberal than conservative. I was sick of the right judging you for doing drugs, but then they'd be drunk by 2pm. And I'm not big into religion. Don't believe in God, etc. Nobody is saying the conservatives are perfect, far from it. But with this massive slide to the left, staying in the middle had led to me being a racist, Nazi, white privileged, homophobe somehow. I don't care about gay rights, I like to think consenting adults should be free to do whatever they want. But because I don't agree in dressing little boys up and calling them women, I'm a piece of shit. Ok
Well, I'll be voting hard right this fall. Like, as conservative as I can find because I know conservatives love this country. People always tell us kansans that we are so friendly and welcoming. How can that be if we're all white supremacists?
I never cared too much, always thought two wings of the same bird, never defended either. It was Trump coming along that gave me hope that something might amount to real change. So far he has been walking the walk. I can't stand people in any area of society who only talk.
I've thought for a long time the best I could to was slow the decline of a once great nation. Then something incredible happened and the lamestream media went bat shit crazy. It was glorious. Now I have 2020 vision.
That reaction is what made me pay attention. They've never gone after someone so hard in my lifetime.
That's the red pill question: What specifically do you hate about the President of the United States?
Seems that all of the answers lack truth.
Yeah.
Facts can do that.
If you let them.
Letting facts in is a frightening proposition to many on the left.
Post-modernism's denial of objective reality cannot hold up to scrutiny once you accept that some things are true, provable, factual.
The left clings to their cognitive dissonance, choosing instead to shout down, deny, and censor any alternative opinion. They have to do that to survive. Their worldview cannot otherwise survive the bright light of truth.
happens to the best of us, man.
the switch is so fast. it really is like waking up. like you just polished the dust off of a mirror showing a true reflection.
This is the easiest time to switch I've ever seen. Marxists have taken over the Democrat party, and Marxist ideals are not in line with the values of reasonable liberals who are focused on improving halfway functional things. Marxists only want to destroy.
Yep... Its all about common sense really and that's one of the main ingredients for RED PILLS
When I was in elementary school my teacher told me that George Washington didn't like political parties and thought they were a bad idea. So, I was always 'no party' for voter registration etc. I registered Republican in 2016 just so I could vote for Donald J. Trump in the primary. I still don't necessarily consider myself a Republican, but the Big Tent of the Republican party is certainly where I belong. There is no where else.
Welcome aboard! I was the same a few decades back.
Good job! This is why I told people online to DO THE DAMN RESEARCH and they will find the truth eventually like I did 4 years ago!
But it's all, "NANANANANA I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!!!" and the obligatory "BYE BYE LOSER AND YOU'RE BLOCKED!"
That's how I got redpilled. I tried beating Republicans with facts but the facts instead beat me. Then I had a choice of throwing insults or rethinking things. I rethought things unlike many lefties.
Intellectual honesty. I like you.
I went to pol to to counter fbi statistics thinking they couldn't possibly be true. I was a trumper a month later. The constant barrage of unhinged freedom of speech exposes you to the truth so fast you doubt everything you've ever learned.
Being able to change your political views based on new information is a sign of intelligence. Congrats.
Similar story. In 2016 the MSM kept telling me Trump was a lying, racist, sexist etc etc. Nothing but negative. NO positive coverage AT ALL. I figured it was pretty improbable that there was literally not one positive thing to report about Trump. So I started watching his speeches, full and unedited.
Quickly discovered MSM was full of shit. And been a supported ever since.
And the more they come at him, the stronger my support.
Word^^
I was also redpilled while attempting to research the reasons why orange man was supposedly bad.
Now you know why they try so hard to deplatform us. The truth is hard to resist if you have an even room temperature IQ.
Last election, I couldn't figure out why people I knew kept freaking out over Donald Trump running. After all, he had before briefly. And I believed at first that Hillary would easily win because she had so much more experience, so what was the point of constantly disparaging Trump?
So they said that they didn't like his position on immigration and wanting people to say "Merry Christmas" again, etc. and saying that Obamacare had been a disaster. But the last was true. And political correctness really had gotten out of hand in my view. So slowly I got redpilled.
Me too.
And this is why we are getting censored everywhere. Can’t have facts and logic get in the way of emotion and ideology
Same
This is why they tell their followers not to engage with or listen to anyone who argues with them. That's why they smear people and outlets as fascists/racists/etc. It's why they censor and try to control speech. Because anyone who actually talks to opposition and fact checks will see how many lies they tell every day. And how their world view is built on egregious lies.
They have control of most flow of information. All the Hollywood propaganda, news, etc. They have nothing to gain by encouraging people to engage with opposition. They can only lose people by doing so.
Scientologists, Jehovah’s Witnesses and LDS have the same policies.
Cults as well. Disconnection is key to control.
Welcome! Glad you actually did research!
Welcome Brother! (Sister? Xirstor?)
Fairly similar for me.
I never actually liked Hillary, but the news surrounding the 2016 election was so surreal that I ended up investigating a bunch of anti-Trump and anti-Hillary stories. It was honestly a lot easier to come to a conclusion than I had expected.
I'm a Republican because there isn't a "Super Conservative Ultra Patriot America First" party. Gotta settle for second best.
Self actualization red pilling. You are reaching your final form. God speed
He freed himself from the Matrix
Question- was this before they rigged the internet or before? Before 2016 or after?
I'm well aware. I only registered Republican to vote for Trump in the primary.
I think I started down this path as a 9/11 truther so I'm well versed on the corruption of the GOP/NEo-Cons/PNAC and the NWO. 911 truth led me to Oklahoma City, Waco, Ruby Ridge, TWA 800 and all of the rest. I just never put it all together until 2016 with WikiLeaks, Infowars and elsewhere, that it's the Democrats too. All of them are in it together. I mean, I suspected that before but since 2016, it has been blatant and in your face. I realized that we've had the same people running the Government forever and they are truly in danger for the first time of losing power.
I've found that Trump's base is made up of a shit ton of Ex-Dems just like me as well as Republicans that are sick of the GOP.
America Before Party.
I'll start you off with the Oklahoma City Bombing. Timothy McVeigh was a sheep dipped patsey. The Murrah Building was brought down using demolition explosions not an AmFo bomb. The ATF (the supposed targets of the bombing as retaliation for Waco) had offices in the building but every one was out of the office when the bombs were detonated. McVeigh and others were spotted inside the Murrah building in the weeks leading up to the attack. Several eyewitnesses saw unexploded bombs be removed from the building.
Corbett Report is a good resource for the other things I mentioned.
A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City Bombing 1995 Documentary

Oh dear.
Go slow. It's a systemic shock, and you need to not od on the threads by absorbing too much all at once.
Yeah, compromised almost definitely last few years.
But some of the stuff.younasked about makes WL look... remote and pedantic. 😶
Same. I was ACAB and anti-Trump for the first 2 years of this administration, then I started watching Donut Operator break down police shootings. Turns out, besides a (very) few notable examples (Floyd, Castillo, that guy that shot a lady through a window) The vast majority of these shootings were justified. It also exposed how often people lie about police shootings.
I started softening at this point, but the Mueller report was still out, so I waited. And when it turned out to be nothing, and the Dems just kept saying the same shit, I was done.
