I am an independent. Mine was the BLM riots, anti-white hate campaign, and discovery of Critical Race Theory. It happened pretty much all at once for me.
For me it was with Ron Paul via the antiwar movement. Was part of IVAW when I got out and went to marches, but it felt more pro-Democrat than antiwar. At first it made sense, since these were Bush’s wars. But I grew disillusioned when the people in that movement didn’t care for the only antiwar candidate. Spent a few years going down the libertarian rabbit hole. I guess it was a way to hold onto some liberal social views that nowadays has gone off the SJW deep end. Eventually got tired of circle jerking about the perfect ancap society. Then I found the dank memes at The Donald.
