Leaving the Democrat Party's Echo Chamber Has Challenges But It's Not Impossible

As a former liberal and democratic voter…

…let me just say that it is INCREDIBLY difficult to break out of a liberal media-echo chamber, once you are in it.

The volume of peer pressure weaponized to shame and silence any dissenting voices or even reasonable questions, is mind-blowing.

A lot of very open-minded, incredible intelligent individuals are genuinely terrified to ask questions or seek the truth.

I have a lot of empathy for these people, because that was me, just a couple of months ago.

It took a horrific hurricane and massive government failure to wake me up, without it, I would still be looking down my nose at MAGA… thinking I was a better and smarter person than you.

The left-wing media literally trains you to think this way.

It’s a game of moral superiority in which you are always the winner, even if your idea is the loser, because it’s coming from YOU, and YOU are the better person because YOU agree with them and have the “experts” on your side.

It’s almost impossible to change a mind like that… like mine.

What woke me up was seeing my life not fit into a media narrative.

I saw that what I thought was just “news” was actually a handpicked, carefully crafted story to make me believe exactly one way.

It wasn’t news.

It was a storybook.

And once you see that, it’s impossible to unsee it.
