2006 was part of the now dark ages we've been living in.
For me it was Trump.
Here's how I became a leftist...
Trump won. Mother of fuck. What the fucking fuck. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
Trump's inauguration and "American carnage". Holy fuckety fuck are we fucked. Trump is going to be far worse than I ever imagined. Mother of god.
Miscellaneous stuff Trump or his administration did or was doing in the few months.
Sebastian Gorka. There's a Nazi in the White House! My god. How the fuck!... And as days turned to weeks - I realized Trump was not going to fire him or ask him to resign. Also the democrats ignored Gorka. They just pretended he didn't exist. Even the Jewish dems. Even worse - the media still had a "Trump will become presidential" mindset and they quickly lost interest in Gorka. Both the dem and media POV left me aghast, enraged, and very depressed.
In r/politics (around April???) some CTH fan saw one of my many "There's a fucking Nazi in the White House!" rants and turned me on to CTH and James Adomian.
Within a month or two I had a religious like awakening. I realized without a doubt the dems were going to do nothing at all to stop fascism. and that I should have become a leftist decades before.
