I've always been kind of Republican and Democrat. I've always viewed myself as Kansan first, American second and either party depending on my own personal development. As I've developed I've become more Republican bit by bit. My mom's side of the family is/was old union Democrat. My granpap on that side was a carpenter. He was a WWII veteran. My whole family's real salt of the Earth. My dad was always busy selling and installing flooring and would be gone for weeks and so my mom raised me and my brother to be union left which if you have to raised left that's the best left because they at least realized the value of work. My old man is republican through and through. His side of the family has been in the plains for at least 70 years maybe even 150 depending on how far back you go and who you consider family.

When I first developed a political conscious I was republican because of 9/11. This was around high school so I wasn't able to vote. I got really fed up with it my senior year and saw through the BS because some girls had gotten expelled from my school for wearing anti war t-shirts after they had read about some anti-war protesters in the 60's who wore some peace sign arm bands and that the case had gotten to the Supreme Court. I thought, "Aren't our troops supposedly fighting for free speech in the middle east? Why we can't practice it here? I was initially for the war but what they were saying didn't bother me I had wood shop and Quiz Bowl to go to. Ya know? It was the response from authority that pissed me off.

Sufficed to say by the time I left HS I fell for Obama hook line and sinker. To this day I regret it. He was 10x worse than Bush ever could be. With Bush you knew what you were getting. Obama practically got away with destroying the country because he had a dumb ass grin that white women loved. What made me leave the Dems and become a disaffected moderate was the killing of Michael Hastings and the drone wars. I mean Obama absolutely disregarded everything the Constitution stands for. My good friends kept signing up for the military and kept getting sent off. There were fewer and fewer jobs where I lived so that was good for people who didn't have flat feet and asthma. The rest of us were lucky if we got a bartending job at a crummy biker bar outside of town. You can't start a family on that kind of work.

I floated around for years believing my country was lost. Hilary's e-mails just solidified my disdain for the Dems for life. I'll have to admit I didn't vote for Trump in 2016. My initial reaction was that I thought he was controlled opposition because I remembered he was affiliated with the Dems and NBC. The way I looked at it is regardless of who was chosen NBC hipster shilling college fags would degenerate this country while my friends that were physically able to serve would continue to make the Bushes money.

I came around in probably the weirdest way. I fell for DS MSM narrative on Trump. I had gotten to the point where I was beginning to dislike old lefty friends who kept being condescending as fuck about my religion. I said to myself, "You know what? I'm a white guy and if Trump is a white supremacist then what do I have to lose?" It wasn't until I had a great career and could afford internet at my apartment and did my research that I realized it wasn't about that. He actually gives a damn about his country men. There's a line in "The Merchant of Venice" by Shakespeare that describes this part of my personality.

"You have called me a dog before you had good reason to BUT, because I am a cur you would be wise to beware my fangs."
