Can’t wait to vote Trump and a full republican ticket in November. I started my red pill journey at the end of 2019. A friend sent me a Fleccas video of him talking to Trump protestors and my lib brain hated him with everything it could because he was so nice but just on the “wrong” side of things. I “knew” he was lying and just trying to be manipulative. I told my friend he was an asshole for sending me the video and that he was just interviewing crazies. It stuck with me though, I began to think about all the boogie men/women who speak from right wing talking points that I had been told were bigoted racist and misogynistic. I thought hey if these people really are as bad as they say then I should be able listen to them speak and call out their “racist/bigoted” agendas so I could be a more “informed” lib. I was blown away by how reasonable these people were and how they spoke with respect towards their opponents with different views. Provided those opponents treated them with respect as well. I started to see how much they cared for people and their fellow Americans and that it wasn’t a movement of hate. I basically started watching everything I could and going back and looking at past events where the media had painted Trump supporters or conservatives as racist/misogynistic non humans and seeing how ass backwards I had it because of the media spins. The Covington kid, and “good people on both sides” blew up my mind. I hated that kid and Trump for not condemning white supremacists. I could go on but I’m typing this on a phone and it’s painfully slow.
Ps I used to hate r/the_donald so much when I was stuck in the echo chamber that is reddit and never understood why you guys called yourself ‘pedes’.
PPS thank you to my two friends for sharing info with me whenever I asked and not trying to force feed me. And massive shoutout to Fleccas the nicest dude on YouTube.
I was too bro. I'm a little older though, my lib years were 2003 - 2014.I was Anti Bush pro occupy wallstreet anti Christian, it wasn't pleasant. Back then it was lots of daily show, a little occupy wall street, way too much reddit.
I still have mixed feelings about the Bush era, those days really obliterated our privacy and opened the door to the big tech overreach that we're currently suffering. We still need to reclaim the dignities we've lost to the algorithms. I also think Iraq was the wrong choice. I get what we were trying to do but to really strike back to deter terrorism we needed to hit Pakistan, Iran or the place the attackers actually came from - Saudi Arabia, but we're too economically interdependent with Saudi and those other targets were probably too powerful to viably contend with, so it was Iraq. The 2008 mortgage securities scam hasn't properly been addressed yet. The people that perpetrated it are still out there getting rich and ruining people's retirements. The complicated financial scams going on in Wall Street still need to be reigned in to serve the public interest instead of screwing us over imo.
But Trump spoke frankly about all these things and more in his campaign, he resolved to make the economy fair to ordinary Americans in a realistic way vs Bernie's communism. He promised not to get us involved in pointless foreign wars and has kept that promise. He has protected and expanded our workforce and looks like he's trying to do something about the big tech excess, I've been very pleased. Whats really wrecking things right now is this cancerous critical theory and the treacherous mass media that has somehow seized nearly every broadcast avenue and crushed all dissenting opinions. This has been building for decades, but we finally seem to have an administration that is capable of facing it, I sure hope we prevail in this election because it looks to be our last chance.
