"I come at all of this, having been a lefty for a long time. But the left is unrecognizable to me now. Racist. Sexist. Unabashedly Unpatriotic. Globalist. Anti free enterprise. Anti free speech.
I'm a patriot. I'm a civic nationalist. I'm pro small business. I'm anti regulation. I'm not right wing… I'm not any wing. I just want my country (and my countrymen/women) to succeed.
This war is personal. I feel assaulted.
And yes… This is a War."
This is almost exactly my experience/feelings.
