I have a coworker who used to make snide comments about Trump when politics came up in the office. Nothing specific, just whatever he could regurgitate from that day's media talking points. I knew where he stood, and vice versa. We never argued, just mostly fun jabs at each other.
Covid BS happened and 80% of the company started working from home. I hadn't seen him in months. A few days back he came into the office to grab something and it was just us two there. What started off as normal catching up turned into pretty heart warming conversation.
He said that while he was home all day he would have CNN on in the background. After a while it just started gnawing at him that everything was attack after attack. He decided to start researching the context of what CNN and others were reporting and discovered the gross misrepresentations and outright lies being perpetrated by the media.
While performing this research on his own, he stumbled upon The Hodge Twins and the Drinkin' Bros and is now a huge fan of both.
I was floored. I didn't know what to say. I think I just kept nodding and saying 'Yep...Yep". I ended up staying an hour late to talk with him more.
I've talked to him briefly a couple times since then. Not only is he definitely voting for Trump, he's voting red down the line now. Best part is, CNN and Democrat forced lock downs were the red pill.
I referred him here as good pede should.
Friend, if you just read about yourself then welcome aboard. We've got a coat waiting for you.
Same story. Trump didn’t red pill me. His enemies did.
Would love to here your story. If you've posted it before, link it for me fren.
It’s really not so different than
yoursyour coworker’s. In 2016 I had nothing but negative news in front of me. Didn’t have any strong opinions for or against Trump at the time. After a while though the media bias became so blatant that it became clear the media really really REALLY didn’t want Trump. Plus, what I figured was like, even if Trump was a corrupt despot, total fascist, racist, whatever. Even if he was all those things, he would get it right ON ACCIDENT at least some portion of the time. It would literally be impossible to have 100% negative news about Trump if the MSM were “impartial,” - you’d expect to see at least some spattering of neutral or positive, just based on statistical anamolies alone.But that was never the case, every. Single. Story. Was negative. And it didn’t matter the topic.
So then I just started watching Trump speak on his own, and going to the source material. And immediately I could see the blatant lies from MSM and his political opponents. And they weren’t even lies by degree. they were blatant, and purposeful mischaracterizations. And it was all redpill from there.
