There's more former lefties here than people realize. I would say all of us were open minded to radical change in how the government operates. The initial Trump crowd just wanted to be left alone and the initial Bernie/Obama crowd wanted everyone to be better off.

As we know now, there is no way to make people better off at the expense of others. Trumps plan somehow makes everyone better and promotes individual freedom. And the more you dig into it, all he's really doing is undoing the government chokehold on our lives and promoting American interests abroad.

It really is that simple, which makes you wonder what the hell all these other politicians were doing all along.

I appreciate you sharing. I think in the grand scheme of things there's less vitriol here than reddit. Also a lot of people have been burned by the bullying of the left wing media and its supporters, even if that doesn't directly excuse their behavior.

You're welcome into the family, but this family expects you to work to better yourself and give if you can. No demands about what others should be giving. We also welcome addressing inequality, but not the crazy left wing version of "equality" that pits people against each other.

America first. Raise a family (children or a community), teach them good values, love and support your spouse.

I think once you find out that its not a zero sum game, there's no reason (for the average person) to go back.

The only people that want that system are people who intend to exploit it.

If you're not a liberal at some time before 20 you have no heart.

If you're 40 and still a liberal you have no brain.
