No. I am seriously a confused...thought I was left, hated Trump, thought the right was racist. Now I'm reading Breitbart and Ann Coulter. My partner was laughing at Fallon and I thought how can you laugh. I'm trying to be super honest because you guys call shill fast. I hope if I don't censor at all you will know.
If you're like me, you still lean left but are more akin to looking at right outlets to get multiple perspectives, seeing as everyone in media has some sort of bias.
It doesn't help that all the general media wants to do is cry about Russia and virtue signal instead of talking about issues.
Honestly I think the left has won almost all the real battles. Now lots is just stuff to excite the base to stay in the movement. They have women rights so right they are 70% of college enrollement. I can see 50% being right. Even 55% but 70% is a real red flag something is real sinister is happening. They push narratives like the hoax Jewish phone call bomb threats....when it turns out to be an Israeli American Jew. Things are very very wrong in the World and it is not for the reasons you have been taught all your life.
When I read "Rules for Radicals" by Saul Alinsky and I realized the left was using people as a tool. They really didnt want to help them but put them in boxes and drive them to the polls to get what power they wanted. That there really is no negotiated right or power we could surrender to the Left that would bring peace. They would just make another demand the next minute and push that. That understanding blew my mind. My brother in law was a union steward. He really believed in the union. He went to all the protest they did. But toward the end of his life he told me I was probably right about the left.....he had grown disillusioned with it.
But the Republican Right is just as horribly corrupt. It is all so sad really. The honest Sanders Voters and the hard Trump voters have way more in common than they actually realize. Way more.
