I grew up always being extremely independent and never giving a crap what others thought of me. I was in to new wave and punk music in the 80’s and dressed quite abnormal for the time in my red neck town. After getting kicked out of a private Christian school, my parents finally threw me in the local high school. Me and about two other people in that school had the balls to dress like we did and I had to stand up to several redneck confrontations.
My point is, I’ve never gone with the flow, have always been independently minded, and once I really got red pilled about our government and the way things really work, this mindset/attitude has served me well. I’ve never felt peer pressure about anything and I’ll speak my mind to anyone, anywhere, in any surrounding. My wife and friends call me Larry David ?
Not to toot my own horn, but I tell my wife if the world was full of people like me, we wouldn’t be in this situation right now.
Exact same experience with the exception - born and raised in Los Angeles - our rednecks were the jocks. I was into Punk Rock all through high school, spiked my hair, wore clothes to truly “shock” people around me. Ironically almost all Punk music was anti-Reagan so being raised in a conservative family I was conflicted with the message. I loved the movement and for the most part the message “anti-government” which I took as less government. Here I was open minded enough to disagree with what was being screamed into a microphone but could be friends with those who were too brainwashed/uneducated to see the actual reality.
Today I see the similarities of the Punk Rock scene back then and Donald Trump now, it’s not so on the surface because it’s such a juxtaposition but it’s there. And I love every minute of it!
