I actually have a personal account of someone who grew up republican, literally voted for Reagan twice, voted for Bush and all. Flipped to Dem w/ Obama. Voted for Hilary and Kamala. And they’ve given me insight into why they were caught up in the earlier red wave & a lot of that is happening now—

I voted for Carter over Reagan the first go round.
Invading Iran was the deal breaker for me.
And I KNEW Iran-Contra was there, he was a smooth smarmy SOB
He loved this country though. I’ve been curious to know what he’d say about seeing this nation collapse so easily 🤔
He is not unique. We were all force fed that ABeka propaganda, and many of us were manipulated into going to Xian colleges where they further pumped us full of their Bircher ideas.
But he explained the messaging they were being fed when he was 18-25 and how much it influenced him. It’s the same now.
(I'm sitting here watching The Media Show on the BBC about precisely that same problem over there.)
This is an excerpt from their 6th grade history textbook:
There are hundreds of thousands of children who grew up with THIS in their textbooks.
Also, personally for me, it's good to hear stories like this about other men. Sometimes I feel like there's not enough of us like this.
