If you had told me three years ago that I would ever attend a Donald Trump rally, I would have laughed and assured you that was never going to happen. Heck, if you had told me I would do it three months ago, I probably would have done the same thing. So, how did I find myself among 11,000-plus Trump supporters in Manchester, New Hampshire? Believe it or not, it all started with knitting.
But when I witnessed the amount of hate coming from the left in this small, niche knitting community, I started to question everything. I started making a proactive effort to break my echo chamber by listening to voices I thought I would disagree with. I wanted to understand their perspective, believing it would confirm that they were filled with hate for anyone who wasn’t like them.
I think the Democrats have an ass-kicking coming to them in November, and I think most of them will be utterly shocked when it happens, because they’re existing in an echo chamber that is not reflective of the broader reality. I hope it’s a wake-up call that causes them to take a long look in the mirror and really ask themselves how they got here. Maybe then they’ll start listening. I tend to doubt it, but I can hope.

She was on Fox news in the am the other day. Seems sincere and nice lady. I took away from it that her friends and family told her she would be victimized, assaulted if she went to Rally. Quite the opposite. She said everyone was so friendly even after she told them she was a Democrat. That said great glad you are here.
Did anyone tell her not to go to a anti-Trump protest (riot) wearing any MAGA gear?
3rd or 4th posting of this article in the last week.
Its a great day for the Republicans when the Socialist Dems have Tom Perez and Joe Trippi working for the DNC. Even with Carville, Begala and Popodopoulos writing the playbook, the combination of these five stategists guarantees a homerun for President Trump in November.
No need even for Trump gear. Just attend any Democrat function wearing something pro-life. They'll ride you out on a rail.
She is not a Democrat anymore and it looks like she is going to vote for Trump.
It needs to be shared, so that is a good thing.
Thanks for sharing this, the comments really bring out exactly what her story depicts , insane how someone would write what they wrote about after reading what was written, their blindness is past their own eyes and there must be some sort of curtain over their hearts, I’ve been wrong my whole life about a lot of things, but not freedom
Must be something about the post that upsets you?
No, thanks.
The author is right about leftist knitters. A popular knitting site banned Trump supporters last summer.

Harsh truths will descend upon the left in November and the following 4 to 12 years. Primary being the only good communists are DEAD COMMUNISTS.
