I used to be a liberal Obama supporter. Felt bad for the poor, minorities, etc. Love Trump. I was an enabler.

Middle aged white guy here.

All of this liberal insanity is based on people feeling "sorry" for everyone. When I was in my early 20's, I walked around saying it was about time for a black president, Obama seemed like a highly intelligent guy. Tax the rich and give to the poor. Thought anyone right of center was heartless. I didn't vote but supported liberal policies.

In '05 I was working for a healthcare provider doing claims when a black lady was introduced as our new supervisor. She was obtuse, clearly stupid and clearly promoted because she was black and female. At the time, I remember thinking....about time more black women make it to the top. Seriously. I was that big of a douche.

Within six months she had promoted two black female friends to positions that others with more seniority deserved far more, and she got two white males fired. I went to HR and asked to be moved to a different area as I felt she was abusing her power. This got back to her and she got me fired within a month. I had been there four years and had hoped to make it a career position.

That firing has kept two companies from hiring me, good paying positions.

That situation opened my eyes. I really researched liberalism and conservatism. As I found out the truth, shocked isn't the word.

I'd like to go back in time and punch myself really hard in the face.
