When I first met my SOL (to be at the time) my daughter had prepped him for my ‘right wingerness’ ;) It’s amazing how many Black people hate the BS fostered on them by the Dems, but just don’t know the truth from the propaganda. And this is a smart man were talking about.
We just BS’d about whatever for a while and were almost lockstep on our core beliefs. But he ‘claimed’ to be liberal...He has been pretty well off the ‘lib’ reservation for a while now, and all it took was some basic truths/thoughts he’s never considered before. He already new and agreed, he just never really sat down and wargamed it out to the logical conclusions.
He left an inner city for fear of the violence and where his life would end. He has been a decorated USAF Sgt for some time now and a good man. A smart man. We need more of him.
There is NO reason ‘escape’ from the Dem plantation of lies isn’t possible for anyone. All it takes is a willingness to stop accepting their crap at face value.
I had the privilege of serving 20 years in the USAF, and served with many fine individuals like your son-in-law. I really hope the Black Community (at-large) wakes up and realizes that the only people keeping them down are Liberals who tell them that they can't make it without their pity and support. Lowered expectations can devastate not only individuals, but communities also.
Thanks again for sharing this!
