The mainstream media failed to see the rise of Donald Trump in 2016. Now it’s overlooking another grassroots movement that may soon be of equal significance— the growing number of liberals “taking the red pill.” People of all ages and ethnicities are posting YouTube videos describing “red pill moments”—personal awakenings that have caused them to reject leftist narratives imbibed since childhood from friends, teachers, and the news and entertainment media.
You might say that those who take the red pill have been “triggered.” But instead of seeking out “safe spaces,” they’re doing the opposite, posting monologues throwing off the shackles of political correctness.
Their videos can feature the kind of subversiveness that was once a hallmark of the left—before the movement lost its sense of humor.
Candace Owens, a charismatic young African American, posts commentaries on her YouTube channel whose titles seem expressly designed to make PC heads explode.
A sample: “I Don't Care About Charlottesville, the KKK, or White Supremacy.” The commentary calls out liberal fearmongering over white supremacists. “I mean there are, what, 6,000 Klansmen left in our nation. You want me to actually process that as a legitimate fear every day when I wake up?”

When authoritarians lose control, they seek to destroy.
The PC cultists will seek to destroy before ceding power.
David Horowitz is a great example.
Was a hard core leftist as a youth and one of the most astute thinkers on the right now.
If the 6,000 Klansman in the country is correct that means 120 in each state.
How many of them have actually _done_ anything to anyone?
It is easier to be killed or injured by a lightning strike (or win Powerball) than to be attacked by the Klan.
The more draconian the left becomes, the more “supporters” it will throw off.
Its imploding at a faster rate every day.
How democrats could take a multi-billionaire living a Penthouse dream on top a condo in New York City and turn him into the hero of Traditional Americans in Flyover is worthy of a Book... or a set of books... maybe a library...
I see you swallowed the red pill years ago...you're seeing the nuances of reality...
Good for you.
When the Klan WAS a threat it was because it was married to the power establishment at the time... NOT because it was a band of losers. Liberals cowering in corners over an unemployed gas station employee is stupid... even if he has 6 friends with him.
When the Klan ruled - men like Senator Robert Byrd were running it... Big powerful men - democrats... just as thuggy as they are toda. Now with an updated new victim to hate ... white conservatives rather than black men - - Democrats - again have shown their true colors... Same tactics. New victims.

Progressives are all about chaos.It is the means by which they control.
She is awesome.
Good stuff
LOL! No kidding. If you read it as fiction you’d think it was garbage!
David Horowitz did pretty much the same thing decades ago when he wrote “Radical Son” about his disillusionment with the left after his friend was murdered by the Black Panthers - too bad it takes so many people so long to catch on.....
Winston Churchill
If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have no heart.
If you’re not a conservative at forty you have no brain.
Fake news.. Loretta lynch called for more blood in the streets to advance the leftist agenda. A sitting AG calling for violence.
It’s possible President Trump really did figure all of this out... knew the reactions to reactions five moves ahead on the chessboard... a comforting and scary thought...
You're right Louis - it's also how they manipulate citizens into accepting draconian control measures...

They’ve had a lot of success in their endeavor. What passes for reason with some people is truly amazing. What the average person needs to do for a starter is to try to conceive of a world in which no other human exists and then list all the things that would be available to them as a “natural human right.” It would soon become obvious to all but the most idiotic that you do not have a natural human right to anything that requires the participation of another human being, not food prepared by another, not shelter built by or with the help of another and certainly not healthcare provided by another. You don’t even have a natural human right to have lunch with a companion, you only have the natural human right to do so if someone wishes to have lunch with you and if you can provide the lunch or someone else WISHES to do so voluntarily. People who think they have a natural human right to have someone else provide for their needs of any kind are utterly stupid. If they think they have a natural human right to healthcare then they must think they have a natural human right to have someone go to medical school.
