This whole election-inaugural cycle has been eye opening for me.
Voted Biden 2020, good coastal lib in cosmopolitan area, yada yada. Following the "good person" party line. My friends are basically all non-white libs, didn't wanna rock the boat, and Democrats read as the sane/tame option. Cast the vote, held optimism for whatever outcome I was hoping for (world peace?), but fell off the Biden train around the time everyone did early in his term. And then was totally blackpilled on Dems once the debate hit.
The strange thing is realizing how, in my gut, I agree with so fucking little of the Democrats goals and methods. From the time I was old enough to vote, I've been nominally on board with the platform of "being nice," but bristled intensely at all the anti-white shit. Anti-Americanism. Normalization of illegal immigration and crime. All the trans shit. It really is a strange cognitive dissonance, looking back. The way you can hold conscious "values" which contradict basically everything that your core is telling you.
