“After Trump came onto the political scene, and especially after he was elected in 2016, the us-vs-them mentality immediately took shape. Anyone who refused to “resist Trump” was seen as a threat to the country, and I was fully on board with that mindset.”


Nope- happened a long time before that....was quite evident from the day GWB was declared the winner in 2000- we just didn’t have social media back then

pursuing extreme honesty and humility in the quest for common ground and truth without the constraints of a tribal identity.

Sounds like a classic "liberal", or one of today's conservatives.

The truth is out there.

She was a liberal until she was literally mugged.

repetitive, boring and ultimately fruitless.

Not to mention hypocritical, intolerant, fascist and tyrannical.

“despite wall-to-wall coverage on his unsavory, racist or bigoted remarks.”

Name one FTard?!

"But it does mean that there are factions and flaws on both sides of the aisle and no one has a monopoly on truth."

Another mugging or two and she'll come around to understanding that conservatives actually do have a monopoly on the truth.

She might think she's on her way to ideological independence, but she's still carrying a lot of ingrained distortion from them. I think she's only likely to find more frustration as she holds on to some of her old ideas, thinking that they are also based on rage and hate.

She seems to think there is a utopia of sharing out there that might find her way to her subscription site, and there might be a few seekers of a perfect world. But the real world is filled with crazies and lunatics, and many of them are in positions of power. Many of them are college professors and educators. Others are federal cabinet secretaries and lower level managers. Some have even been CIA directors.

Finding a safe cozy place for polite discourse is a worthwhile pursuit, and I wish her well. But she should never step too far away from X or You Tube. What is revealed might be shocking and ugly, but it is what we have to deal with.

Ana gets red-pilled by her own stinking, bigoted and hypocritical kind.

There are far more of the vicious creeps on the left than the author seems willing to admit and far less on the right than she seems to imply.

She’s not all the way there yet.

I’m ok with her coming around the the right side. It was glorious to watch her and Cenk Ungar on The Young Turks (TYT) on election night in 2016. They had a massive meltdown. Look it up on Youtube if you want to be amused. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9P_NQrjChY

But eventually, the tactics deployed to fight Trump became repetitive, boring and ultimately fruitless.

Somebody hasn't been reading their Alinsky. Particularly 6 and 7. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy." "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
