While none of us were precisely born as liberals, the vast majority of us were raised as such.

If you could reach back in time to the past version of you that remained under the illusions of liberalism, what would you say?

    I would probably just tell myself what I naturally did, but I would emphasize it's importance because I think it would make the transition a bit faster.

    "Pay attention to why things are not working and learn from it."

    This is something liberals refuse to do. They do not allow themselves to learn. I naturally found myself becoming more radicalized because I realized how broken the electoral process and political discourse was. I started seeing the news as laced with propaganda. Increasingly, I noticed that going left was never a viable option presented as a mainstay platform. Starting from an apolitical stance to being a leftist took a span of a few years, but what is wild to me is how stupid the mass populace of Americans are by simply not paying attention to the fruitlessness merry-go-round they so passionately ride on. I noticed particularly from the Democratic party that their entire political philosophy is contradictory. Republican philosophy actually makes more sense... its just pure evil. In a way I view Democrats as just "soft" Republicans that believe the same things but they are troubled by their conscience.

    Anymore the conclusion I have reached is that liberals are deep down fascist, they just don't understand politics well enough to realize it.
