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 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.
