I’ve listened to Bob Dylan’s anthem of alienation, Like a Rolling Stone, so many times throughout my life, but it’s never hit home quite the way it does now as I’ve been exiled by almost everyone I once knew. How does it feel, Bob Dylan asks? It feels like tumbling through space with no place to land. It feels like being trapped in a nightmare. It feels like nothing I’ve ever gone through before.
But it’s too late to turn back now. It’s full steam ahead. Yes, I am a California Liberal voting for Donald J. Trump. Why am I doing it? Why was I willing to destroy my so-called “career,” end friendships overnight, and lose any status I’ve attained in the past 30 years I’ve been online, which, granted, isn’t saying much? The answer is easy. I couldn’t do the other thing.

For some, it was the government’s authoritarian crackdown on masks and lockdowns. For others, it was the lies about COVID. But for me, it was suddenly seeing that unseen hands were manipulating us as a form of social control.
It sounds paranoid. I’ll grant you that. I don’t know how else to explain it. I was very much inside the insular feedback loop of the Left. I genuinely believed everything they said on CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times.

Everything that happened in 2020 was designed to push Trump out of power. I watched them all but rig the 2020 election using the same unseen hands. I walked away from that election no longer a registered Democrat for the first time in my life.

Watch harder.
Well take em where w e can get them
Well, let’s hope she has a lot of similar minded Lefties in Cali and elsewhere.
Yeah....
Extremely well stayed. Welcome, sister.
Should be well SAID
I have no idea who the hell Sasha Stone is, but one of her key points is one I’ve pressed for years - the worst villains in our civic affairs are the members of the mainstream press.
That’s not to excuse the Democrats and the majority of libs - most are despicable snakes who will use just about any tactic possible to gain, maintain and expand their power. But that’s their nature -scorpions sting, snakes bite and Democrats cheat. But the nature of the press *should* be to present truth; instead they’ve almost universally opted to shill for the Left, and as this woman points out, eventually she came to that realization, and then started looking for truth elsewhere.
Most of the folks I know who vote D are good people; sadly, they get their info from conventional sources, and hence walk into the voting booth ignorant and confused. It’s reassuring that at least some of these folks (Sasha Stone being one) can get past that.
Commenters at the site have mentioned that the 2020 election wasn’t “all but rigged” it was “in always rigged”.
If you go to the article, Stone has an embedded video of the attack on Trump supporters as they left a rally. That’s one thing that horrified Sasha Stone and made her start rethinking her support of the Democrats party. Another was the sudden switch from “stay inside and social distance” to the virus won’t affect you if you are protesting for social justice.
From one of the commenters:
There is NO identification at all required to vote in:
Washington
Oregon
California
Nevada
New Mexico
Minnesota
Illinois
Vermont
Maine
New York
Pennsylvania
District of Columbia
Hawaii
New Jersey
Maryland
Massachusetts
Pretty much says it all right there. We, as a country, are extremely far from where we should be right now.
I’m pretty sure these A-holes have been stealing elections for many decades.
Indeed.
When a billionaire spends a billion dollars to finance election operations and demands that the operation of that election be don his way, strangely enough it is done his way.
When a billionaire spends a billion dollars you can bet that he expects to get something valuable for that money.
Are there any Red states that don’t require ID to vote?
I agree. People talk about there being no hope for states such as California, but I don’t think everyone is a die-hard liberal as the vote totals and media portrays. It’s just that California was one of the first states in which they perfected the election steal and for years people assumed those were legitimate votes so no one questioned it.
That video I mentioned which is embedded in the article is 14 minutes long. I recommend you watch it as it shows (and reminds us) just how violent and irrational the left is when it comes to Trump. I also recommend you have a plan for November 6th and the following days if Trump does actually pull this off. I truly believe that ANTIFA and other groups (including government agencies) plan on major rioting and violence if the Trump and conservative candidates pull a major upset of their apple cart.
As a former Democrat myself I enjoyed reading Sasha Stone’s article and glad she saw through all the deceptions and left the Democrat Party. I do believe Trump is about to transform American politics again in this election. I think far more of our countrymen than we can ever know are fed up with the direction this country is going under the Democrats!
...the worst villains in our civic affairs are the members of the mainstream press.”
yes, truly they are hyenas. They are Public Enemy #1.
I don’t know.
I probably should have looked into that a little more before posting someone else’s comment.
So I did! Unfortunately even though Freeper Mardie told me how to do it a while ago I still can’t really post pictures.
There’s a good map here:
https://ballotpedia.org/Voter_identification_laws_by_state
Of the states in that list, only in Nevada, New Mexico, Minnesota, Maine and Pennsylvania can it possibly make a difference—the others vote so lopsidedly Democrat that the votes cast by ineligible voters don’t matter (except for letting the Democrats brag about the popular vote margin).
bttt
“I’m pretty sure these A-holes have been stealing elections for many decades.”
Yes, they have been. I’ve come to believe it explains continued Dem “governance” even when they turn the city/state into garbage land.
Back before the internet, I used to read John Fund in the Wall Street Journal. He was always banging on about voter fraud. But, you know, I figured, this is at most a local issue in some places. Not a really big deal.
Well, then the Tea Party came along, and they started to try and clean up the voter rolls. And oh how the Dems screamed, and cried and moaned and groaned.
And I thought, hey... wait a minute... this is really their stock in trade.
Trump or no Trump, we got big problems in this country. But, without Trump getting in this year, they will probably never be solved.
In 2014, the Pennsylvania legislature (the representatives of the people) actually passed a bill that required ID to vote in federal elections. They also allowed the State to send free state-issued ID’s to those that did not have one. They would even accept an electric bill for purposes of identification.
A filthy disgusting puke scumbag Obama federal judge declared it unconstitutional and prevented it’s enactment. The legislature appealed and took it to the US Supreme Court where they (the gutless SC) decided NOT to take the case.
And now you know the rest of the story.
