I've been quietly following U.S. politics for over 10 years but that changes today. My father and I just witnessed a moment in history that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. And I’ve realized that as a former registered Democrat who voted for @BernieSanders, there is nothing democratic about the Democratic Party anymore. They have become the tyrannical monster they claim to be against. Yesterday, I attended my first political event... a Trump rally. Why? To be 100% real, it's not a one-word answer and requires detailed explanation. This year, the “Party of Democracy” has spent millions to keep other viable alternatives off the ballot (Robert F. Kennedy Jr.), removed their candidate via coup (Joe Biden), and installed a new presidential nominee who never received a single vote (Kamala Harris). We're living through a stressful, transformative time in our country with competing ideologies. If you tuned out and stopped caring about politics a long time ago, I honestly don't blame you. I almost stopped caring too. But, after attending yesterday's Trump rally in Arizona and watching history unfold in front of my eyes as @RobertKennedyJr, a lifelong Democrat, endorsed Donald Trump, who promised to establish an independent presidential commission tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy... tears of hope filled my eyes. There is hope for our future and future generations in America because for the first time since 1964, two opposing candidates have come together to UNITE against the injustices of a powerful, villainous, political establishment. Together, they want to prevent World War III by ending our involvement in pointless wars, prevent chronic disease by removing harmful chemicals in our food supply, and prevent totalitarianism by ending the Democratic Party's political + media censorship. As an early RFK Jr. supporter and former Bernie Sanders voter, I am proud to cast my vote for @realDonaldTrump this November. I also pray that God protects these two courageous men from any future assassination attempts. Special thanks to @TPAction_ & @tylerbowyer who helped us attend our very first political event. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime, cathartic experience.

In 2020, I changed my voter registration to Democrat and voted for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential primary. I actually wanted to vote for Bernie back in the 2016 primary, but couldn't because I wasn't a registered Democrat at the time. Flashback to 2016, and I think we can all agree Hillary Clinton sucked. She represented the corrupt, political establishment riddled with corporate donors, war hawks, & foreign special interests. She had an illegal private email server, deleted 30K emails, and was investigated by the FBI. WikiLeaks released emails from the Democratic National Committee that showed DNC leadership favoring Hillary Clinton, proving that Bernie Sanders' run for president was being sabotaged by his very own party: @TheDemocrats. There were also 400-500 superdelegates that immediately endorsed Hillary's campaign, making Bernie's chances of winning the nomination practically impossible. In May 2016, Bernie admitted, "I think it is fair to say that the establishment media, the establishment Democratic Party, and the establishment in general has worked to help Clinton win the nomination."

A notable duality in 2016 was that both Bernie and Trump tried to fight the establishments within their own political parties. However, Bernie lost and Trump won. Both Republican & Democratic parties treated them unfairly, but the Democratic Party's treatment was far worse. In June 2016, Bernie said, ""I think we need to be very clear that the process is not fair. It is rigged against the candidates who are not part of the establishment." So as a symbolic "middle finger" to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats who rigged the election against Bernie Sanders, I casted my very first vote for president in November 2016 for Donald Trump.

Flashback to 2020 and Bernie runs for president again in the Democratic Party, so I changed my voter registration to Democrat. I By the end of February 2020, he had won 3 out of the 4 primary elections and was named the frontrunner, expected to win the Democratic nomination. Then in March 2020, days before "Super Tuesday" when 14 states were about to vote, 2 of the 5 other candidates dropped out the race and immediately endorsed Joe Biden. It was reported that Biden's campaign, with the help of Obama, had secretly pressured Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar to drop out the race in order to prevent Bernie from clinching the nomination. Once again, they had successfully rigged the election against Bernie Sanders. On Super Tuesday, Biden proceeded to win 10 out of the 14 state primaries, effectively winning the Democratic nomination for president. Bernie brought this up again in a podcast last week with Theo Von, “That’s what happens when you take on the establishment. What happened is we won the first three primaries, and then the establishment got very, very nervous. There were a whole lot of candidates in the Democratic primary, and they said, ‘Hey, it’d be a good idea if you all dropped out, let Joe Biden be the one candidate.’”

To summarize 2016 & 2020, Bernie had the Democratic presidential nomination stolen from him TWICE. Bernie Sanders could have been president for the last 8 years if the Democratic establishment hadn't screwed him over. Trump and Biden would have never been elected president... Imagine that! Unlike most career politicians, Bernie was running as an authentic candidate who truly believed in his messaging. He wanted campaign finance reform and never accepted PAC money in 2016 or 2020. Since 1971, he continues to be officially registered as an Independent, even after running for president. The poor guy just wanted to fix our broken healthcare system and thought the Nordic model was worth looking into. I didn't agree with all of his proposed policies, but I knew he was his own man with an honest heart.

In another symbolic "middle finger" (both hands this time) to the Democratic Party and its corrupt establishment, I voted for Trump again in November 2020. And over the years, my positions on certain issues evolved after witnessing their undemocratic treatment of Bernie Sanders. Just last month, the Democrats showed their true colors once again, when they strategically pressured Joe Biden to step down from his re-election campaign. He personally won over 14.3 million votes, 98.9% of the total votes cast in the 2024 Democratic primary. Yet, Kamala Harris was instantly coronated as his replacement without winning a single vote. She ran for president in 2020, but dropped out the race before voting even began. It's the most anti-democratic way to nominate a candidate and the DNC should have held an open ballot at their convention instead. Millions of Democratic voters across America didn’t have a choice in this election because the Democratic Party took that choice away.

That’s not all I have to say about the Democratic Party, though. When @RobertKennedyJr announced his candidacy for president in 2023, he instantly became my preferred pick for president. However, the Democrats proceeded to treat him even worse than Bernie Sanders. Despite his rising popularity and high poll numbers, they refused to hold debates and altered the Democratic primary schedule to favor Biden. When RFK Jr. realized what the Democrats were doing, he decided to run as an Independent candidate instead. However, the Democrats proceeded to smear him, censor his social media platforms, prevent him from gaining state ballot access, and refused to give him secret service protection. Seriously, no secret service protection? The man’s uncle was former President John F. Kennedy for heaven's sake? JFK’s assassination in 1953 was one of the wildest events in U.S. history, uh what? RFK Jr.'s father, Bobby Kennedy, was also assassinated in 1968 while running for president. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears when I heard that the Kamala/Biden administation had refused to give a Kennedy secret service protection, knowing what his family has experienced.

It was at that moment I finally realized, after having many years of suspicion, there are malevolent forces afoot within the Democratic Party. I have concluded the Democrats and their establishment can never be trusted. Their power structure sustains itself through censorship, control, and corruption. They want you to doubt reality by claiming something is true when the opposite is actually the case. Their ideology is pathological in nature and works by tricking people into thinking they're being compassionate to the oppressed, when in reality, they're serving the oppressors. It's textbook manipulation. They’re professional gaslighters who invert the truth in order to maintain authority.
