My history in American politics #WalkAway


When I went to the United States, I had no real experience in American politics and its issues because I never heard of that. I had no experience in American politics well into my time living in the United States, as I did not know what the differences between the two major political parties in the United States (the Republican Party and the Democratic Party).

Only in the start of 2016 I began getting involved in the politics of the United States as a liberal due to embracing Bernie Sanders, and I formerly showed dislike on conservatives and Donald Trump. I formerly thought that America was doomed due to Donald Trump as I relied on the liberal media on supposed "facts". I used to believe in climate change, higher taxes, so-called "net neutrality", an increased minimum wage, and I continued to do so because of Trump's low approval rating for over a year, until I began realizing the failures committed by the left, including socialism (take a look at Venezuela), which began my rightward turn on the political spectrum on January 2018.

With the failure of Venezuelan socialism, I started becoming a more moderate Democrat, even with Trump's low approval rating persisting. I was still unaware that the presidential job approval polls are heavily biased to the left (I relied on poll aggregator RealClearPolitics). So I continued to believe in net neutrality and higher taxes. When I read Steve Goddard's blog at realclimatescience.com, I stopped believing in the lies by the globalist left from the IPCC and mainstream climate scientists, by having discovered that they manipulated the data (cooling old temperature records while warming the most recent temperature records), advancing their alarmist rhetoric by exaggerating the warming since temperature records began.

I was still embracing net neutrality because I believed in the biased liberal polls, until I realized that it was used for control of the Internet, so I stopped believing on it. The Internet was doing fine without Obama's "net neutrality" rules. The heavy-handed regulations have stifled Internet investment, and I am glad that these regulations are gone. Regulations cost money, and unnecessary regulations are being taken off by the Trump administration.

With the lies by liberals and many leftists continuing to circulate, I walked away from progressivism on June 2018, but I didn't know that the #WalkAway movement existed until a few months later after I "walked away". The Trump economy is doing great, and the Obama economy was a total downer, with no calendar year in the Obama administration reaching or exceeding 3% real GDP growth.
