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.
After thinking Trump was Orange Man Bad throughout the 2016 election, I randomly came across something about the Patriot Prayer rally in San Fran in 2017 where the news was saying it was a right wing extremist group. I went to YT to research it and found videos of the rally with the "counter protesters" and the patriot prayer folks. Everything the patriot prayer guys were saying made sense to me (free speech, spoke out agains racism, etc) and there was mostly non-white speakers at this supposed white supremacist event. All the counter protester "liberals" (my supposed side) seemed violent and crazy. From there, i started to watch more YT videos which lead me to dave rubin, the popular ben shapiro videos, and Candice Owens, and many more. I started seeing all the lies from MSM and my eyes were open. I started to see how Trump was just joking about many things and not being literal like many news outlets claimed. Now I think he's freaking hilarious. Oh and edit: got on reddit about 3 years ago and found TD. So it all came together after that. TD had a big impact on redpilling me because it showed me actual counterarguments and lies from MSM.
