From covid to war to child exploitation to women’s rights, to equality, to immigrants... The people I love will benefit more from a second Trump term whether they realize it or not.
“Science is real” unless it provides information that could actually end this pandemic cough HCQ+Zinc Or unless it means girls and women shouldn’t have to compete in sports against biological males who have a physical advantage. Or if it says proper forest management could prevent CA wildfires...
“I could be wrong.”
Lost my mom the same way a few years ago. I’m so sorry. Remember her how she was before.
I was just a kid when he ran but I remember the charts and graphs and his prediction of NAFTA making a giant sucking sound as all our jobs would be sucked down to Mexico. He was right and his run was one influence on me to always look for an opposing view to test my own against.
I voted Hillary too. Then I couldn’t understand why if the ICE detention centers were so bad, why did it seem like the dems were ENCOURAGING people to join caravans and cross our border, knowing they would just all be detained. It made no sense. I started to feel angry at the left, especially after seeing kids dying on the journey. It seemed like the left was exploiting desperate people and purposely leading them into a bad situation just to make Trump look bad.
Then the Covington kids. I fell for that lie until a post I stumbled across on The_Donald pointed me to the full video showing those kids harassed for hours by the Black Israelites and then the Indian guy walking over to the kids to antagonize them! Completely the opposite of what I had been told by so-called reliable news outlets.
It just snowballed from there. Russia-gate was absurd. The impeachment was stupid. Meanwhile the economy was improving and North Korea stopped constantly threatening the US.
People on The_Donald didn’t seem to be all nazis or unintelligent. I realized I was one of you because I wanted to keep what Donald Trump started going.
I am praying for you and your family.
The Democratic party doesn’t give a shit about women. Neither does BLM.
Good luck. The Covid thing is scary IF you believe the msm. Fear is powerful. Especially if you fear death.
Shout it with me: Hey leftists, LET MY PEOPLE GO!
Great advice, thank you! I do see it as a battle of good vs evil. That’s why I feel so strongly that I can’t abandon these loved ones. They are good people who want to do good in the world, they’ve been mislead.
Thank you! Praying to change hearts is a good idea, that is exactly what needs to happen. I appreciate the story about your friend!
I had a blind hatred of Rush. I still haven’t listened to him yet but I realize my opinions of him were all from what other people said, nothing I had formed on my own. Crazy how easily that happens!
I feel sorrier than ever for Trayvon, a kid caught up in the wrong crowd, parents not paying enough attention. It’s heartbreaking. Growing up poor myself I saw the same shit happening to white kids. It’s not about race, it’s home life and parenting or lack of it. Kids look for leadership and if parents don’t provide it, peers will for better or worse.
Then seeing Rachel get used in the trial is absolutely disgusting. She got taken advantage of by adults she probably trusted who should have never involved her.
The tests are shit. I had two negatives but Dr said my symptoms matched their other patients who tested positive.
Covington kids - the full video contradicting the story I saw everywhere else.
I voted for Nader and Obama and then Hillary. Felt physically ill for months after Trump won. Lurked on the donald to try to understand how people could support such a horrible, stupid president. Immediatly could see that the left and the msm didn’t understand Trump supporters. Then the Covington kids got dragged thru the mud and I saw the full video posted on the donald. I felt sick and angry. I started to question everything. Trump was right about fake news. What else was he right about? Then the migrant caravans - why were all these people still coming knowing they’d get detained? Who was funding this and lying to those people? I was disgusted that instead of figuring out how to help people where they live, dems were encouraging them to come here and get locked up to pull on voters’ heartstrings. And AOC. God I just can’t stand her. Then the dems started their debates and I just plain realized I don’t actually want what they are selling. There’s not one that I could see myself voting for and I’ll like to keep America great so here I am.
Wait, didn’t the democrats just vote to extend/re-authorize the patriot act? Wtf did they think was going to happen?
Classic cult move by the msm - paint everyone outside your cult as dangerous.
I was always open to conservative talking points but for a long time, the msm was better at positioning themselves as the “adults in the room”. They looked and sounded more trustworthy than the other side during the W years, who came off (to me at least) as nuts. That plus all the conditioning I got starting in elementary school. I see that now when my kid comes home and tells me what they learned and I have to correct it. I was conditioned to think that it was impossible to be a caring person and also be conservative. I’ve realized now that I still care about all the things I cared about before, I just see that liberal policies don’t help, they make things worse. It’s hard to break a lifetime of people telling you that being a good person equals voting for free stuff.
Getting Mexico to stop the caravans at their southern border. Getting North Korea to calm down.
I had never even been on reddit but I read a Slate or Salon article about how dangerous this specific subreddit called “the_donald” was, because it was a breeding ground for white supremacists and the evil alt-right and deceptive memes. I wanted to see for myself just how deplorable you all were so I could understand how bad this whole Trump thing was - “know your enemy” right? I lurked, you guys didn’t seem evil, just had different views on some things than me. Then the Covington kids thing happened and I saw the full video link on TD. Wondered WTF else I’d been lied to about. Then reddit banned you and I followed you all over here. Now I’m one of you. Thanks liberal media for pointing me in the right direction! Otherwise I’d have still had the blinders on.
