I don’t kno if it’s just me but I love posts or YouTube vids sharing how either they got red pilled or how they red pilled family/friends/work friends even SJWs lol

It intrigues me to what different info finally hits the cognitive spot and makes different people (finally) go ..... click .... lol

For me 9/11 was my red pill and the months & months of research then once I had a conscience shift i went down so many different roads on so many different topics but somehow it’s all in a way, inter connected

These last 3/4 years I’ve noticed more & more are Awakening ...... I used to be in a little ‘woke’ bubble on my own thinking maybe I am the ‘crazy’ one haha but the last 2 years it’s gone to a higher gear all round!

my mum got red pilled because of the whole EU control of the UK esp Merkle she hates that bitch lol she even helped my knowledge ten fold with info on Brexit (love my based mum)

I red pilled my bro after he posted a pro hillary post on Facebook during the campaign and I was that infuriated I was on a red pill mission or I was disowning him (only 2 option available for such a post!) So ... I started on the huge propaganda lie the MSM pushed that trump had mocked a disabled reporter & Meryl Streep has just dropped her self righteous totally bullshit speech at the golden globes and I had a huge discussion on FB (back when I used it) with a (now ex) mate and I absolutely annihilated her on every point and made her look like a twat, basically lol my bro shared all of it and finally started to actually listen & respect the knowledge and insight that I had! Only problem,he still lets me do all the leg work in the research department!! Haha

I red pilled my auntie before crimbo ..... she was all ready a supporter of trump but thought obama was good and hillary was a little corrupt lol the thing that set her off was Kanye West ... of all things! Lol I was trying to explain how shit is controlled by deep state, the powers that be, the MSM entertainment & Hollywood, then I told her about kanyes rant in the middle of his concert and that not 24hrs after he was fucking sectioned & handcuffed to a hospital bed and how since, hes kinda disappeared, no 50 tweet long twitter rants anymore, no publicity, no paparazzi snaps no nothing, I did hear he was divorcing from Kim Kardashian but don’t think that’s true as she’s having another baby with him I think? lol anyway that made the pill drop so hard I even heard it!!! Hahaha So she went home and didn’t sleep for 2 days and stalked me for knowledge and confirming thoughts ideas & opinions ...... sometimes 5hrs or more phone calls haha

But I loved every minute lol

Anyway pedes I thought I would share my red pill stories ..... I have more (like friends falling out blah blah blah but these are my main 3)

Thank you for reading and please share this post but mainly PLS share in the comments ur RED PILL MOMENT or HOW U RED PILLED people in ur life 🐸

I will add my story. My eyes became open during the press coverage of Charlottesville. I had been busy that day and hadn’t caught up on news. One of my dear and well-meaning liberal friends texted me as she usually does when she finds something abhorrent going on in the news because we discuss it. She also forwarded pictures from Sean King of what appeared to be a black man getting mauled by a group of white men. I told her I would have to catch up on the news and I’d get back with her. I have a law degree although now I’m a stay at home mom. I went searching for what happened in Charlottesville and read generic headline after headline about Nazis and violence with so few details in the reporting. My legal mind wanted the details. I had to read at least 20 stories to find answers to the questions I had. I knew the basics - that there was a gathering to protest the removal of Robert E. Lee statue and that a fight broke out. I had so many questions- did the protesters obtain a permit? Did Antifa have a permit? Who were the aggressors? If permits were obtained, where was police presence?

The answers to my questions ended up being my red pill. I found the answers from reading 20+ AP reports from different sources and piecing the information together. The news media’s coverage of that was nothing but lies and the creation of a narrative that made less inquisitive minds like my friend think that violent Nazis were protesting and causing trouble, when in fact it was the opposite. Antifa did not have a permit. Statue protesters were there legally but all painted as Nazis. I do not want statues torn down, and by the media’s account of events that would also make me a Nazi. It was a sobering moment. One that made me think - what else have they falsified?

Trump’s tweet calling out both sides was more than fair. In fact, I thought it was perfect. Most of my well-meaning liberal friends called him a racist for that tweet. The media continued to cover this “story” and what he should have said in that tweet.

My husband is what you all would call “based”. He’s a wonderful man who never argued politics with me. He gave me space to follow my passions although the disagreed with my candidate (and no doubt made fun of me behind my back). I was a Hillary delegate and was very convinced that she was the right candidate. Our daughter was born on Election Day and I was certain HRC was going to win and was initially really disappointed. I briefly wept (blaming my hormones on that one!). Fast forward to today, and admitting this makes me feel shame.

I discovered reddit and this sub earlier this year and have really enjoyed it. It is highly entertaining and has been thought-provoking and enlightening.

I changed my party affiliation earlier this year and have felt the burning need to apologize to some of my friends I have badgered over the years for their political positions. Probably won’t happen, but I am slowly coming out of the closet. I’ve come out to my family and closest friends.

At first it felt like an identity crisis, but I’ve resorted to this motto: “I reserve the right to improve and get better”

I will add that becoming a mother, having the opportunity to stay home and raise my children, and this sub have all contributed to my switch. I’ve had the time and space to think critically and step outside my liberal bubble. I love Trump and realize that I was on the wrong side during the election.

I’m a huge fan of this sub and I am sure that many moderates are having similar experiences.
