@mattvanswol So your “liberal friends” turned out to be right.

One year ago, I publicly came out in support of President Trump. I had absolutely no idea how severe the backlash would be. The Left tried to destroy everything good in my life. My job. My family. Our safety. We lost more friends than I ever could have imagined. Politics is so tribal, and it can be that way on BOTH the Left and Right. But something interesting I noticed... ...is that my Right-leaning friends were my friends even when I was liberal, and they stayed consistently my friends when I moved to the Right. My liberal friends, on the other hand, pretty much all abandoned us, except for a small few. There’s a specific kind of grief that comes from realizing people didn’t just disagree with you… ...they re-categorized you as "unsafe" Someone once told me that, in person. "We don't feel safe with you." Like you became a different species overnight. Like everything you’d ever done for them, every memory, every “I’ve got you!” suddenly didn’t count for anything at all.. The noise online is one thing, I've learned to tune almost all of the hate out. Even de*th threats rarely bother me now, as insane as that is. The hardest part... Watching my wife jump every time the camera notifications went off. Watching my kids live under a microscope they didn’t choose. Doing the math in my head about safety and work and whether I’d just completely destroyed the stability of our home because I spoke honestly. I didn’t feel brave. I felt sick, I felt like I did something wrong and was being punished for it. It still feels that way, a lot of the time... my wife and I are still shunned from many friend groups we once had. I think that's when I finally learned what "tribal" meant... a real willingness to punish, to exile, and make an example out of someone to "teach them a lesson." The funny thing is... my right-leaning friends didn’t “welcome me” when I changed, they just NEVER LEFT. We disagreed, for sure. But they never tried to take my livelihood, never tried to scare my family, and never tried to turn my kids into collateral damage. I think, especially in that way in particular, the Right does far, far better than the Left. There’s a difference between disagreement and dehumanization. There's a difference between: a) “I think you’re wrong” and b) “you’re dangerous, and your family deserves suffering.” That’s a social enforcement system, something I was inside of and didn't know I was in, until I broke out of it. There's a reason the Left does it... it works. …and that’s the irony, specifically on the Left A movement that prides itself on tolerance only applies it to people who already agree with them. And once you see that, you can’t unsee it. I think one year out... I'm still in a weird stage of grief. For the friendships we lost, the community we once had, the old way of life where we didn't have to think about safety very much at all, and where my kids didn't have to go through life inheriting the consequences of adults who they themselves couldn’t handle disagreement. But, even through all that... Life is better now than it was a year ago. We went to church for the first time ever, with our kids. We found a new community of friends. We got closer with the friends who stuck around. We got the chance to be wrong, and learn. We got room... to grow. Room to be imperfect. Room to disagree. Room to be wrong. It's not necessarily easier, but it has made life more clear, and I’d rather be condemned for my convictions than rewarded for my compliance. One year out... I do not regret supporting President Trump. I regret not supporting him sooner.

@Dodg3rs4Life @JDVance @WhiteHouse @DrOzCMS @USAttyEssayli LOL those guys are all maga so dipshit would just pardon them. 🙄

@JDVance @WhiteHouse @DrOzCMS @USAttyEssayli Go to BURBANK AND GLENDALE.

Our task force isn’t wasting any time cracking down on fraud. This morning in the LA area, federal law enforcement is taking down fraudsters who stole $50M+ from Americans by defrauding our healthcare and hospice systems. Thanks to @DrOzCMS and @USAttyEssayli for their work.

@RodKahx @GaryFallon2 Might be parody but with magats running around it’s sometimes not obvious.

@RodKahx @GaryFallon2 Really not, but the stupids are certainly vocal about their ignorance.

Our moon. The average US citizen in a nutshell.

@mickitiki @Danvhtr Well this aged poorly LOL

Exactly 💥🔥🇺🇸👊

@Danvhtr @JoJoFromJerz No he’s pardoning pedophiles and fraudsters you ignorant dipshit. 🤦

@JoJoFromJerz Well, would you rather be pinned to the ground getting the shit beat out of you by an illegal criminal? Incase you missed it Donald Trump is deporting those criminals

Not one sane American watched that shit tonight and thought, “yeah, we’re in good hands.” Not one.

@Abhijit_k_Patra @JoJoFromJerz 😂 dude have some self respect. FFS.

@JoJoFromJerz Half the country watched Trump’s speech and thought “finally, someone hitting the reset button on weakness,” while the other half clutched pearls and live-tweeted their therapy—America’s compiler is just running two incompatible forks of the same empire.exe.

@NolidReklaw @JoJoFromJerz She said SANE, you fucking moron. Sit down.

@JoJoFromJerz I continue to believe we are in good hands. America is doing better than ever.

@norhinosn16 @simonmaechling LOL no. 🙄

@simonmaechling Better check your blood for Amyloids if you got Covid vaccine. Spike from some covid infections and in shot causes Amyloidosis. It is a horrible death from organ failure. Double carpal tunnel can be early sign. Please get biopsy during surgery. Unfortunately, I know. Be well!

Vaccines.

@Tim9the9Plumber @simonmaechling No you don’t. But I’m sure you really think you do. This will be totally lost on you, so whatever. 🙄

@simonmaechling For me I see highly vaccinated friends dying of cancer and generally getting sick a lot. I use ivermectin at first sniffle. And also have used it for 11 weeks solid to beat my arthritis.

70% of Americans think Trump is doing a terrible job on the economy. Repost if you're one of the 70%

the 25th Amendment was written for precisely this situation. Trump cannot think clearly. he cannot function effectively as president. unfortunately Republican Party leaders are weak, low-character people unwilling to even try acting honorably

@Kurt_A_Eff @julie_bush @weatherchannel Needs a tvOS app!

Just now finding out about @weatherchannel’s retro option, music and everything, and I am weeping openly. Feels so good to be back baby weather.com/retro/

@SteveGr15825996 @YebbasHeart111 @oratleasthonest @BenStiller @GOP_is_Gutless “If they were able to process facts and logic they wouldn’t be maga in the first place” Not doing your homework for you, lazy fucking chud. The credible information is widely available. Find a patient kindergarten teacher if you are still struggling. Dismissed. 🙄

@thunderyeti @YebbasHeart111 @oratleasthonest @BenStiller @GOP_is_Gutless Lol:) yet.....still no proof.

Ben Stiller Turns on Zohran Mamdani Just months after endorsing and voting for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, woke actor Ben Stiller is now blasting him. Stiller, like his buddy Robert De Niro (who also hasn’t worked in years), is furious about Mamdani’s proposed wealth tax on people worth over $1 million. “I may have more than a lot of people, but I’m not some bazillionaire,” Stiller said. “Taking 8% of my net worth would really hurt.” He complains the tax doesn’t account for people living off their savings. That’s what happens when you vote for far-left policies. Live and learn. Maybe Stiller and De Niro can star in a sequel: “Meet the Taxman” Hypocrisy level: expert. 😂 What do you think — karma or just too late? 👇 #BenStiller #ZohranMamdani #NYC

@YebbasHeart111 @SteveGr15825996 @oratleasthonest @BenStiller @GOP_is_Gutless They’re determined to prove just how dumb and easily manipulated they are. Endlessly. Yawn. 🙄

@SteveGr15825996 @oratleasthonest @thunderyeti @BenStiller @GOP_is_Gutless lol I love how quiet the loudest MAGA retards get when you call them out on their BS

@andicanderson @dougmillsnyt @MELANIAJTRUMP @POTUS @FLOTUS Awww you actually think that!! Poor thing. Thanks for proving:

@thunderyeti @dougmillsnyt @MELANIAJTRUMP @POTUS @FLOTUS Bless your heart 😂

.@POTUS & @FLOTUS arrive in the Presidential Box at the Kennedy Center to view “Chicago”, Opening Night.

@andicanderson @dougmillsnyt @MELANIAJTRUMP @POTUS @FLOTUS If your trash, sure. 🤷‍♂️

@dougmillsnyt @MELANIAJTRUMP @POTUS @FLOTUS Best couple ever !

@npr40 @dougmillsnyt @MELANIAJTRUMP @POTUS @FLOTUS So gross 🤮

@dougmillsnyt @MELANIAJTRUMP @POTUS @FLOTUS Look at them! Look at her looking at him. ❤️❤️❤️

@NoBallsXXstalls @TheDamaniFelder Wow you’re poorly educated. Sorry your parents failed you. They must really suck.

@thunderyeti @TheDamaniFelder Islam and communism are bad. Men are not women. The left is willfully ignorant about these facts. Conservatives don’t generally call me a Nazi/fascist/bigots for stating facts. “Liberals” on the other hand lose their tiny “tolerant” minds.

Maturing is realizing that the people who call themselves "tolerant" are the first ones who will be intolerant towards you if you don't do and say exactly what they want. Because tolerance isn't their goal. It has always been control.

No U.S. President should be able to withdraw from NATO without Senate approval. Thankful my colleagues in Congress passed this bipartisan measure.
