I cut my political teeth during 9/11 and the bush admin. I went to protests all the time, and was constantly sickened by the libs that were there. My first insight into leftism was Abbie Hoffman. I have all of his books and have read them over and over. Sure, he's a huge hippie, but he was smart.
I did dabble in liberalism during the Obama campaign. Those of us who went through Bernie and the subsequent depression after he sold out will know how it felt when Obama got elected on this wave of progressivism, then stabbed us in the back. I stopped giving anyone who isn't a leftist a chance after Obama's second year.
