I've been a long-time conservative (got hooked onto Rush Limbaugh in 1989 when he first started out) but not very active until 2016 - as a Never Trumper (!!)
Now is a great time to get involved - because we are seeing here a once-in-a-lifetime event, in terms of 'what is next for the Republic'. Either it corrects itself and gets rescued from this fraud, or it is lost forever.
My spouse reminds me (whenever the topic comes up) that I donated to McMuffin, voted for a CIA spook, and even received a Never Trump bumper sticker.
I read The Art of the Deal in the mid-1980's, and was a fan of The Apprentice, and remember clearly the day the Access Hollywood tape came out. Was surprised as anyone that he won, and was open to having my mind changed, knowing actions speak louder than words.
It was about four or five months into the new administration in the spring of 2017, and I read another MSM hit-piece that made an elliptical reference to TD over on Reddit. The criticisms of Trump were withering; it was a little (as Scott Adams says) "too on the nose", too consistent and too monotone, and I grew suspicious.
The new efforts Trump made in those early days signaled very clearly to me that he wasn't the deranged philanderer unstable narcissist I thought he was.
I remember being momentarily confused how hard it was to find T_D at first. And I remember the first time I mentioned how well Trump was doing to a coworker in the summer of 2017, after finding out they were Trump supporters as well. It was like I could actually find people IRL who could see the world as it is, not as the media says it is.
I think Alameda County is the most unfortunate among the counties in the Bay Area. The Tri-Valley towns are pretty conservative but they sometimes have to deal with the ridiculous stuff from Oakland. Look at this here:
I relocated from Texas to work in the Bay Area (Big Tech, unfortunately) about ten years ago. The liberal bias was so bad I only lasted about a year-and-a-half before I impulsively packed up a uhaul one day and headed back to the Lone Star State. I resigned from my job over the phone driving through Arizona. Moving out there was one of the worst life-decisions I ever made. Moving back was one of the best.

Sorry, hope it's not too late.
I for one do not believe it is 'too late'.
Because 'too late' == nothing left to save.

I visited once. I couldn't stand it. Its a shame all that pine is handled by dipshits.
It is amazing to think what was accomplished in 2016, and again in 2020, in terms of sheer numbers of people getting energized and involved.
I thought I'd never be 'that guy holding a Trump 2020 flag at a rally' but here I am with both Trump signs and the flag. And proud of it.
They're shocked, they miss hating on orange man bad..
Not even a kitty cat filter? I'm sure the people will see him as one of them then. (sadly this is actually true for some)
