The memes are great, and the news is refreshing, but its the stories from former left-leaners and really give me hope.

I read a really really good one today.
Liberal Lurker here

quote:

The_Donald kept getting mentioned on Reddit as a toxic subreddit full of hate, and being the devil's advocate that I am, I decided to start lurking and reading comments. This subreddit seems to be one of the most positive, high energy, supportive, and inclusive subreddits out there, and I'm frankly shocked. I started writing down every liberal criticism of Trump and the republican rebuttal to these criticisms. I started comparing liberal media with conservative media, and researching the parts that were direct contradictions. I also have read the executive orders Trump has made and the history of the people in his cabinet.


The best part:

quote:

One of my close female friends (she's getting her doctorate in cancer gene research simply put) messaged me the other day saying she was unable to function due to depression regarding the state of our country. I called her and she was actually crying due to all the rampant negative bullshite we are subjected to daily over here. I talked to her for a few hours and told her everything I learned from the pro-trump point of view and detailed how so much of the media is trying to vilify the right as this horrifying uneducated racist sexist group bent on removing all diversity. She had no idea about Soros, and had never even considered that we (liberals) may be subjected to just as much (even more) manipulation that we think the conservatives are getting.


I know there are plenty of these threads on The_Donald, but there is just something very satisfying to know that when people start questioning the news they start learning the truth and supporting Trump.

I like the_donald too because it's funny. But there's a 50/50 chance he's a trump supporter posing as a convert.

Rational, free thinkers search for the truth and challenge their beliefs.

Possibly, or a karma whore. But half of the comments are "me too, after Bernie lost the primary" "same here 4 months ago" on and on.

People (left and right) need to get out of their media bubbles for these types of reasons right here

Don't know if it'll ever happen, but at least respectful dialogue regarding the issues would be great rather than going straight to extremes as it is now

Great post

This is the issue that I think the left will never really learn. Calling people names immediately shuts down any constructive dialogue. Calling people Nazis just because they don't agree with you just entrenches people.
