      Thanks for responding honestly! It’s wild to me as it so was so obviously satire and mocking those beliefs from my point of view. Good job at looking at what was happening and changing your way of thought.

        Tbf, and I wish this was more obvious to me back then, a lot of rank and file conservatives often need “marching instructions” like “what is the message we (conservatives) need to say about this incident?”

        I didn’t realize I did this until something really confusing happened. I can’t remember what it was but I remember the deafening silence from Fox News and other “lead” conservatives.

        I stayed a conservative until around Trump’s initial primary bid. When I realized that conservatives would rather vote this guy in over much more experienced politicians, I realized that their criticism of Obama not having enough experience was a bunch of bullshit.
