As someone who had severe TDS until June of this year, watching these smear campaigns come out nonstop is insane. I used to fall for them. I believed them. I have posted about how hard it is to pull yourself out of that TDS because you have to admit that you are easily manipulated and you were wrong.
I can finally see how they do it. On the outside looking in now, I compare it to being the sober person in a room with a bunch of drunk people you used to drink with - I’m sure a lot of you know that feeling. They look and act ridiculous, and it’s embarrassing. You want to help them, but they won’t listen.
It is slow and methodical brainwashing. They don’t realize they have been initiated into a cult of lies and propaganda. Again, it is HARD to walk away from that. I have heard it being compared to having to knock down your internal belief system and completely rebuild. That is how it felt for me.
Anyway, my point is - Women for Trump and f*ck your feelings!
*Edited to add - for those of you who asked what it was that finally opened my eyes...

The bleach day was the first day I felt a little stirring in my brain/heart. I knew what he said. I was watching it. I saw how the media and the dems went after him. I used to refuse to watch him because, well, orange man bad. So I started looking into other things I had believed he had done or said that made me sooooo mad. Imagine my surprise when I found out I had been lied to over and over again and the MSM is complete bullshit.

I live in FL and listened to Ron DeSantis talk about Covid almost every day. I HATED that dude, too. He had his baby building a wall in his campaign commercials! I thought he was a racist POS. The more I listened to him, the more I liked what he had to say. He would also clarify a lot of the things the media was saying Trump had said. I would look them up and sure enough, he was right.

Riots and looting. Obvious pandering. The McCloskeys. I could go on and on. The day that I finally swallowed a whole damn Costco-sized bottle of red pills was the day I saw 200 “peaceful protesters” storm a Walmart and completely decimate it.

The most important part of all of this is you CANNOT DO IT without acknowledging you were wrong. When I was listening to DeSantis, I started really researching his background and I was SO embarrassed that I ever thought I knew more about ANYTHING than this guy. His career has been amazing and I should be THANKFUL he is representing me. Once I realized that, I really dug deep into my own feelings and biases. You know what I found? Enough guilt that it actually made me cry. I felt so guilty about the bad vibes and energy I had sent out into the world toward these people. I almost went through a short little depression. I felt like I had to apologize. I actually sent DeSantis’s office an email thanking him for how he has led FL through all of this chaos. When I first got red-pilled, it wasn’t really pro-Trump. It was anti-bullshit. The more doses I take, the more I feel proud of the guy! He has worked his ass off for this country and he deserves our respect. I have also really come to appreciate how he is the biggest troll to ever troll because I know EVERYTHING he does is for a specific purpose.
I hope that helps and maybe you can share this with people you know who are on the verge...
What a great quote. Imma use it.
