This one deserves it's own thread too!As a lifelong Democrat I always voted straight party line since I didn't like the way the GOP entered our lives by restricting abortion rights for women. With all of the flaws, I gave credit to unions for creating our middle class. I started becoming disallusioned with the Democratic after meeting Obama at a fundraiser. I'd just written him a check for the full legal donation allowed and I felt sick while shaking his hand. I felt pure evil from the man. Shortly thereafter I changed my registration to Independent and I voted for a 3rd party candidate in the next two elections. When Hillary ran I liked the idea of a female president and hadn't dug around yet to find all of the dirt.
The Trump campaign was the most entertaining campaign I'd ever seen. His nicknames were brilliant and I laughe a lot never considering he had a chance of winning. My thinking was that this run was for the ultimate branding for his next venture and I was unhappy that he ran. His tweets seemed so unpresidential and I found it annoying how he constantly ragged on about fake news.
After watching his behaviour for awhile and hearing the short out of context quotes attributed to him I just didn't like him at all, but, I decided to research the issue and see if there was any truth to it after hearing it for about a year. One thing lead to another and I became utterly shocked at what's going on in our country. Trump is correct. Our news is fake and based on everything Hillary has allegedly done she should be in jail.
I've been researching ever since. From the twisted way our liberal colleges are teaching history we have a couple of generations of young that seem to hate and/or disrespect the US. As I may have already said, if you can't look back with pride you are easy to manipulate. The liberal colleges are even against freedom of speech. I don't believe they should get another dollar from the government unless it is for a STEM program or a trade program where a decent job can be had when done. Not a single dollar to any other type of studies. History is extremely important, but, I'm now seeing it is dangerous if taught in the twisted way some do.
Now, we have the 1619 project in k-12 classes. That's another story that is shocking. Our kids are being brainwashed. NYTimes magazine did a spread on it along with some bonus pieces that were first published in August 2019. I was able to find the originals on Ebay. I had to get the curriculum taught in the schools from NEA. They are exposing the little ones to marxism and teaching whites to feel guilt and shame. Blacks end up disliking whites. That's another project of mine in the works. The curriculum is put out by NEA along with Pulitzer Org, not Pulitzer Prize. BLM has reps in the school supervising the training of teachers on how to implement the program. It's unbelievably comprehensive. I was and still am in shock. Everyone needs to call local school districts to find out if they are teaching 1619 project. If so, work with parents to get it out asap. All of us will be affected.
Slavery was and is horrific in all of it's many forms over the years, but, the US didn't start the practice. Our founding fathers were right to fight for freedom from British rule.
Today, we have two immediate problems. One is to do all we can to help elect GOP senators in Georgia. Dominion machines shouldn't be used. The two senate races need help in registering new people to vote, getting people out to vote, fund raising, counting votes, observers watching the process and donations for ad time. We must not allow Biden to have control of the Senate. He can do a lot of damage by executive order, but, we can slow him down if he doesn't control the Senate.
Simultaneously, we need to help Trump prevail in his quest for the Presidency. His win in 2016 was such a blessing now that I know how much is at stake. Hillary is in lockstep with Soros.
I switched to GOP within past few months and I'll never vote for another Democrat. And, the RINO's need ousting via primary for their next election. I've also become a firm believer in the need for term limits so they can't get too buddy buddy and create power groups in Congress.
And, I now hate unions. Especially, the teacher unions. Look at their demands before letting teachers go back to school. https://www.hoover.org/research/teachers-union-demands-far-left-policies-returning-classrooms
This quote will give you a taste of how ridiculous they are and you will realize what a huge problem we are in the midst of. "Every stakeholder in California’s public education system should be alarmed, because these demands, which range from defunding police to imposing a large wealth tax, go far beyond the scope of any union negotiation. If implemented, these policies would substantially depress living standards and the quality of life for most of California’s 40 million residents.
Since when does a union make demands about statewide economic policies?"
One last thought since I don't believe I gave the link earlier. Even though the monarchy in Britian isn't supposed to give political opinion Prince Charles is pushing for the Great Reset. As far as I'm concerned it's time for the monarchy to end. Since the Prince is in such a hurry to get this reset going he should go first. Give up the land, money, castles, art, etc. That's what we are all supposed to do once this is completely reset. Prince Charles needs to do it first.

This is probably more than you wanted to know, but, as you can see, I'm passionate on this subject. Too much has gone on for a couple of decades under our noses. Look around, it's the cities run by Democrats that are falling apart. We need to get more GOP led cities.
Research and learn all you can about what's going on in your area. Simple things like going to city council meetings and requesting a copy of the budget is educational. It's easier to hide waste in smaller local governments since too few pay attention. You can tell a lot by seeing how the funds are spent. Some clearly want this reset on the left. I'm not one of them and I'm doing all I can to pass the word on. If just two of you become active and pass it on it's worth my time. You might be a Democrat like I used to be. If nothing else, you might be able to change it from within. I gave up on that, but, no matter what your politics used to be, you need to see how things actually are and decide on what kind of country you want to live in.
Ok, have a great day everyone. Not that I've helped cheer anyone up!But, we can't fix what we aren't aware of.
I have to applaud you KarinCA. I didn't expect any reply. If there was a reply I really didn't expect the length and depth you went into. You poured out your heart to the answer of my question! I will not spoil the rest of this thread with the off topic wanderings we started here. If you want to discuss further we can go to another thread.
I'm sorry you cannot get your money back from Obama. LOL!
Welcome to OSA and especially welcome to the GOP! PS I abhor demonrats and I abhor RINO repellicans. I want a conservative party.
