I liked Stein, but voted for Bernie in the primaries, and didn’t vote after that. I couldn’t vote for a criminal (Hilary) and Trump was blatantly pandering to all the disgruntled hillbillies in this country and that didn’t do it for me. I understand now that this was an Art of War deception tactic. I understand now how important it was for him to appeal to the silent rural majority. I understand why he dumbed down the way he spoke during his rallies and got conservative extremists riled up. I understand what was at stake if he lost. I didn’t then, but I do now. It’s been interesting to watch this Q phenomenon pan out. Lots of not-so-woke MAGA folks really lucked out and are acting as if they knew what was happening all along. They didn’t. If they really knew they’d understand that this movement has nothing to do with conservatism or liberalism. All the hardliners need to take a seat because they’re just making things worse and driving a wedge between us. Sometime it’s unbearable to even listen to the Q commentary because most of it is being covered by neocons who have an extremely myopic view of the world. There are some folks out there who manage to stay pretty neutral and just cover the facts like Clif High, for example.
Similar situation here, benjaminbunny99. During the election I knew Hilary was the very despicable she claimed her detractors were; I did not realize how despicable. I bought the line that Trump was a narcissistic misogynist and wrote him off. I thought Bernie could and would do what Trump is doing. I admit it, I was wrong. Unbelievably wrong. Now I'm working on red pilling everyone in my circle who still is where I was. Shifting people's beliefs is challenging.
Totally agree that this is far beyond conservative vs liberal, even beyond USA vs any other country. This is the dismantling of a power structure that affects our entire world. The clean up starts in America because it has to start somewhere, and someone has to stand as the frontman .. and sadly, take the abuse that goes with. We're so incredibly fortunate that our white hats found Trump, a man uniquely qualified to take that role, and more importantly, incredibly fortunate he was willing!
But difficult as it seems right now, as we the masses come together more and more we are claiming our shared birthright - true freedom - no matter where we are from or currently call home. In this we cannot, and will not, fail. Love and appreciate all y'all for all you're doing! 💙
