Iām a gay guy whoās left the Left. A lifelong Democratānot anymore. I'm voting for Donald Trump.
I used to think voting Democrat was the compassionate choice. But todayās Democrat Party? Itās become a war-hungry censorship machine, cynically using identity politics and media manipulation to divide usāand lawfare to eliminate its political opponents.
Iāve unlearned yearsā worth of (often well-meaning) dangerous, regressive leftist ideas. Instead, Iāve opened my mind to great thinkers like @ThomasSowell and @VDHanson, and Iāve enjoyed listening to the perspectives of @bariweiss, @amirxodom, and @megynkellyāto name just a few.
Thereās a massive political realignment happening, and free thinkers are finding hope in a new conservative movementāopen, welcoming, and committed to the Constitutional values that have made America the freest, most prosperous country in history.
This year, Iām voting conservative down the ballot. Some might think thatās āupside down,ā but in todayās world, thatās exactly why we need to set things Right side up.

My first week as an openly conservative gay man has been fascinating. Iāve lost a lot of followers driven by emotions rather than facts, but Iāve gained a smart, grounded, and funny new audience. Itās the best social reshuffling I couldāve asked for. 10/10. Highly recommend.

I've never experienced such overwhelming kindness, understanding, and encouragement as I have from supporters of President Trump in the past 24 hours.
And I've never faced such vicious personal attacks, name-calling, and insultsāintended to wound, shame, and silenceāas I have from Leftists in the same time frame.
Oh, well.
Putting yourself out there in life comes with risks, especially when youāre willing to take a stand on controversial issues. You have to be prepared for relentless, sometimes truly vile criticism.
You need to build within yourself a reservoir of self-esteem and inner strength to face the world, or you risk becoming either a pushover, a recluse, or worse: a petty, vicious monster yourself.

Many LGBTQIA2S+ people with pronouns in their bio accuse me of attention-seeking and āinternalized homophobiaā because I publicly announced that I left the Left and Iāve been exposing dangerous Leftist media lies.
What I actually want is:
- For endless wars to stop.
- For anti-Americanism to stop.
- For anti-Westernism to stop.
- For anti-male rhetoric to stop.
- For anti-family rhetoric to stop.
- For anti-Christian rhetoric to stop.
- For illegal mass migration to stop.
- For the chronic health crisis to stop.
- For attacks on Jews to stop.
- For attacks on religion to stop.
- For attacks on free speech to stop.
- For the race-baiting to stop.
- For the āqueeringā of everything to stop.
- For the LGBTQIA2S+ community to stop telling effeminate little gay boys (like I was) that they are actually little girlsāa profoundly homophobic stance.
The attention Iām getting on these issues? Absolutely fabulous. š

Conservatives these days are some of the most open-minded, sharp, and genuinely fun people Iāve met. Without the Leftās self-censorship and virtue-signaling, conversations are real, and thereās a freedom to just be yourself.

Thanks for the warm welcome to the conservative side! Iām here for fresh perspectives, love a sharp debate, and respect that we wonāt always agree. We're mature adults; we can handle it. And we can grab a cold one after! šŗšø
Welcome to the conservative lifestyle. We may not all agree with each other, but we respect each other's opinion, the lives we lead, and enjoy sharing a cold beverage and good discussion.

I know there are many of you feeling disappointed or even shattered by the victory of President Trump.
My heart is with you, and I feel for you.
Please allow a moment for those of us who have felt so deeply betrayed by the Democratic Party and its gargantuan media machine ā lied to, manipulated, looked down on, spit on, harassed, and gaslit about it all ā to have a brief moment of vindication.
The election of President Trump isnāt just a referendum on or a repudiation of the failed American media; itās also a testament to the growing power of the America First movement, whose goal is to wrest power from unelected bureaucrats and return it to the People.
We, the People, are so back.

My hope is that gays, lesbians, and gender non-conforming people wake up to the danger of LGBTQIA+ political ideology, which has led even our most esteemed medical institutions astray.
Iām at UCLA and I just met Clementine, who recently detransitioned.
When she was 12, Johanna Olson-Kennedy at the Childrenās Hospital of Los Angeles put her on puberty blockers.
At 13, she was put on testosterone.
At only 14 years of age, she was given a double mastectomy!
Clementine had suffered sexual abuse, and that was the source of great trauma, and is why she didnāt want to be a girl.
Johanna Olson-Kennedy didnāt care about that. Within 30 minutes of her first appointment she was told she needed to go on puberty blockers, or she might kill herself.
Her parents were told they could have a dead daughter or a live son. This is standard practice at gender clinics. The only way they can justify this child abuse is to say that kids will die if they donāt do it.
Testosterone caused psychosis so Clementine went off it at 17.
She has now just turned 20, and can probably never have kids. Sheās trying to get reconstructive surgery but insurance companies only want to pay for destruction of childrenās bodies, not reconstruction.
I hope Clementine sues, and helps to bring down this industry, but mostly Iām incredibly thankful for her bravery in speaking up.
If you donāt believe this is happening. please listen to her story.

Thomas Sowell was a game-changer in exposing the Leftās fabrications for me. His long-form interviews are eye-openers.
Independent thinkers almost always get shunned by their own identity groups. Maybe itās a rite of passage.

Doctor, I would like some more remote analysis of my delusion as a gay supporter of President Trump. But first, exactly how many effeminate gay boys have you suggested are stuck inside the wrong bodies? And girls? Please, sir.
