I remember as a young man when the Patriot Act was being "debated". That was when I TOOK my first redpill. I did my first actual 'digs'. I started to question my fealty to Cheney and Rumsfeld. It didnt take long to learn he was the fucking anti-Christ. Then I questioned the whole Bush admin. Then I was deployed to Iraq. Then I knew. Cognitive dissonance hit like a baseball bat to the nuts. But, the shock wore off, and I began to see reality where others could not, or would not. The Patriot Act is an abomination.
This. Absolutely this. I was one of those liberals that was relieved that Obama got elected. I thought, well, that's the end of the Republican War machine. I didn't really understand the unit party thing. People that walk around bragging that they totally saw through Obama are such posers. Me and so many other people were taken in by how slick he was. I totally took the fake sincerity of the progressives and liberals around me at face value. Don't take much at face value anymore, hey?
OUTSTANDING.

God bless you. I cannot imagine being deployed & going through that.
