I swear, user names I use to have arguments with over political viewpoints, are now saying things I have been saying for over a decade.

It is as if Truth & Reasoning, with examples being put out there for all to see and witness, has red pilled many Democrats to realize they are more conservative than they thought.

These protests/riots/statue destructions and the politicians that encouraged them and held back their own police have sure changed the views of some people I associate with.

I think the left went a bit too far left and are scaring the more moderates over to the right.

My older sister is a prime example of this. Up until a month ago, she was a lifelong leftist loon who cursed me every chance she got for my more common sense views

But after the BLM distortions, lies, and calls to disband the police (she took a look at what the statistics actually show, not what BLM is pushing via a false narrative...yes we are black ourselves), she took a hard turn to the right. She still won’t call herself a conservative as she is pro choice (her words), but the transformation has been astonishing.

Don't get too excited yet.

Thinking the looting and criminal behavior is awful does not equal a vote for POTUS Trump. :

Same with my sister. She wasn't quite the leftist loon but she bought all the lies...climate change, blah, blah, blah....But she has a son who is a cop and she is finally starting to see the light. It's beautiful to watch.

And here I'm meeting people who defended Trump for two years fed up with his divisive nature.

Go figure.

It's doesn't seem to be the criminal behavior that has people questioning the left. It's that elected politicians and the police allowed it to happen and, in some cases, encouraged it.
