I want to say it was when "true" Tea Party candidates got elected to congress, then we quickly learned they were RINO's all along. Not sure if it was the first red pill, but that's when I lost all trust in & hope for our federal government

Finding out the news media lies . The hose ‘em game in Auburn back in’86
News accounts claimed AU used ‘water cannons ’ on uga fans.

No they didn’t. They turned on the field sprinkler system. That’s not a f’n water cannon.

Covid lockdowns and the vaccine mandates. They red pilled me from a born and raised republican to a ULTRA MAGA AMERICA FIRST LOVER OF FREEDOM! I love Trump, but the lockdowns will go down as one of the worst mistakes ever. Its not his fault. He was surrounded by swampy info.

Loose change 9/11 in 2006 and then Ron Paul provided a framework for my crazy brain in 2008.

The 2016 election. Initially I wasn't even supporting Trump. Then I saw the depths to which the establishment was willing to go to keep him from getting the Republican nomination and then being elected. All because he wasn't one of them and couldn't be bought. If Trump did nothing else, and I submit he was the best president of my lifetime, he pulled back the curtains and exposed that Washington DC is rotten to the core.

I’m far from red-pilled to the degree this board is, but the advocation for pumping children that we don’t trust cross the street without holding our hand full of life-altering hormones because they wore a dress one day sealed away any chance I had at voting for a democrat.

To be clear, I don’t give one iota of a frick what people do with their body after they’re 18. Want to cut your dick off after that? Go for it. But, at the same time, it simply isn’t realistic or acceptable to pump kids full of hormones when their mind changes about things almost minute to minute. As Bill Maher said, “I wanted to be a pirate when I was a kid. Thank god no one chopped off my leg and gouged out my eye to look the part.”

Started with Brexit and then Trump getting elected. It was statistically impossible for the polls to be that wrong on those events, yet I had institutional consultants telling me neither had a chance. I knew the system was broken, and it opened my eyes to how corrupt the US really is.

Trumps election. Him existing in the White House exposed just how deep the deep state corruption really is.

Ron Paul in 2007-2008.

He spoke often & at length on the Constitution, Jefferson/Adams/Madison/Franklin, individual liberty/freedom, states-rights/anti-bloated-federal-government, an America-first foreign-policy, isolationism/anti-Empire/anti-World's Police, pro-Austrian Economics/Capitalism, anti-Central Bank/Federal Reserve, anti-IRS, horrors built inside the Patriot Act and who in the GOP were RINO's.

Yet, almost everybody on the right, left, and middle called him a QUACK.

Bush going all in on the bail out

I already was in arms about the patriot act being extended and our government openly spying on us - so maybe that

9/11


9/11 by far.

When Sandy (the burglar) Berger was caught destroying documents from the National Archives during the 9/11 Commision and then was essentially allowed to walk I knew there were serious issues with this failing nation.

The Last Narc documentary on Amazon Prime. Damn CIA killed Kiki Camarena (DEA agent), not the Narcos. Insane.

All of our alphabet agencies met to be dissolved & restructured. Makes me believe the CIA was the one responsible for the Kennedy assassination as well.

Yes, I stated my story here many times.

I was a hardcore Prog, working a job where I helped members of "the community". I was proud of my work, and did a great job. Had the numbers to prove it. When a member of "the community" decided that a "blue eyed white boy" shouldn't have the job, I was accused of racism so his buddy could take it.

I quickly went from "Ally" to "racist Nazi" in a minute's time.

Let’s be clear here as well.

There are two levels of red pill:

Level 1: Leftists are retarded AND evil

Level 2: Republicans are Leftists

Hillary’s “amazing” prediction skills on cattle futures. That bitch has been dirty as a crack whore’s butthole all her life. That was the first rock turned over.
