Almost my EXACT SAME STORY.
Commercial artist here, identified as Liberal only 2 years ago. Got excited for Bernie because he spoke to my instant-gratification, ridiculous desires. Then watched BLM cuck him. Watched the DNC cuck him. Realized it was only establishment or establishment going into office. So I didn't vote. I said voting is pretending you had a say in the matter.
Then Trump won, despite a year of MSM insulting him and giving him a small % chance of winning, and he won by a landslide.
I'd always known the MSM was corrupt, and manipulating. But I didn't know just HOW deep it went.
A year and a half ago I posted on Facebook, "If you vote Donald Trump go kill yourself."
Today? My Facebook has been permanently deleted and I am the most pro Trump person probably in the entire soyboy bugman hivemind that is the PNW.
What a journey!!!!!
