The war on drugs.

When I looked from a purely economic standpoint, I realized drugs are illegal because that benefits those in power, not the population.

I used to believe the two parties were separate entities with fundamental differences between each other. I've since learned that the Libertarians were right all along when calling it the Uniparty.



Thank God for the Freedom Caucus. They at least keep the deep state ran GOPe in check for some of their shenanigans. Same used to be said for The Squad with the Dems, but they've since been bought.

I used to believe that both parties loved America. I now know the democrats hate America.


Whether or not the parties hate their country is judged by actions and not words. Forget about what Republicans say and look at what they do.

The Republican Party will tell you what you want to hear and then frick this country up, right along with the Democrats. The Democrats however are a little more honest in their treachery. They'll frick this country up and simply don't give a shite enough to kiss you before they do it.

Credit to Trump. That primary opened my eyes.

I used to believe that there were weapons of mass destruction bc I found it impossible to believe that we would go to war based on false evidence. I didn’t agree with going into Iraq ever, but I couldn’t believe our government would just go invade someone for the purpose of just invading someone.

When the Federal Government refused to investigate election fraud, I realized the Republican Party and the government had been lying to me by manipulating my own patriotism. This pointless Ukraine obsession sealed the deal for me - they only care about war for the sake of going to war. They’ll just make up a national interest if need be.

I’ll never believe anything that establishment republicans or the military industrial complex says again.

That elections are free and fair (November 2020)

That the medical community knows what's best (Covid, transing kids, gynos for trannys)

And when and why that realization happen?


When he never mentioned a time in his life where he realized he was separated from God due to his sin and how he accepted Jesus as his personal savior.

I believed they were serious about securing the border and getting rid of Obamacare until they didn’t do shite about either while they held the Congress (2017 - 2018) and the Whitehouse.

Dems will never vote republican we were taught since we can listen republicans are evil and hate you.


That's not true at all. It's a mix both ways.

You believed that? Yea he’s no Christian but he supports Christian values.


Biden for a fact is devout practicing catholic but supports abortion, child hormone therapy, supports pointless wars for geo political pride, and his justice department attacks churches.

That Republicans want power for the same reason democrats do - to control.

Rather than to want power to decentralized control, pushes rights to states and not let corporations own this country.

That republicans and democrats were truly different. I’ve now come to terms with the fact that everything is kabuki theater put on by the swamp with a very small number of elected folks that actually give a single shite about the people they represent

I used to believe that politicians were public servants, there to make laws that would benefit the citizens, not themselves and their benefactors.

America is a noble country

The "Good guys" work in our intelligence agencies

Law enforcement are mostly good people who would disobey orders when those orders violated the Constitution

The Bushes were Patriots and great Americans

MLK was a pervert and the FBI / CIA were right to keep him in check

The Kennedys were all scum

Israel is a great ally to the United States

All False about Republicans
- Want a strong border
- Fiscally conservative
- Motivated to actually do something other than write letters and call useless hearings
- Nominate truly conservative judges
- Work for the best of the party and not against it
- GWB is a good guy
