I've been a Trump supporter for a while, but in light of recent events I must reconsider my opinions. It's tough realizing I've been in the dark for so long. I feel much better now.

At first I was seduced by Donald's anti-establishment image. You see I've always felt alone and insecure. I hated myself so much for my weaknesses I was desperate for a figure to idolize... but also for a scapegoat to hate. Donald and its community was perfect. Somehow I was able to put all my hopes of a better future on someone else (Trump himself) AND blame everything that was going wrong in my life on others. And I felt good about it. Muslims, Mexicans, Gays, Zuckerberg, Transgenders, the Chinese, Women, Reddit admins, the media, vaccins, jews, swedes, refugees and Google... the poor, the rich, the liberals, everyone that was not us. The ennemies were many, and The_Donald was my safe space. It was us against the world. We were the last bastion of free speech, sanity, moral high-ground and decency. Upvoting, commenting, posting there made me feel like a true social justice warrior.

Until recently it felt good.

Then I realized what I was involved with. A little like the day I realized Donald's hair and skin colour wasn't real... my whole world collapsed around me. It started with friends from The_Donald getting censored and even banned for asking for sources / questioning Dylan-w's behavior. Then I started actually following the sources that we were posting and realized, like yesterday with the batshit crazy story about a rape by a 13 years old muslim syrian refugee... that there was no real world data confirming our stories. There was no censorship around our news.... our news were just fantasies. Then I started visiting other sources and the real world hit me full speed. I'm done with The_Donald, it's been fun, it felt good; but I realize now that it was very unhealthy time for myself and my close ones. I'll try to be a better person... wish me luck
