My mom died around the time I was 12 or 13

: (

Was it spiders.

Cancer

. . . and here I was just about to send you're lucky

I am so sorry. That's horrible

I was spared the physical torment only to be wracked with mental torment

Lucky me

And I became politically conscious around 2014 ish

And then 2015 came along

Oooohhhh boy was that fun

To say I started on the right was an understatement

What kind of cancer

If you don't mind me asking

2017 was not fun for me.

It spread to so many places I forget

I was in DC during the inauguration.

It reached the spine, stomach, liver, spine, ribs to name the obvious

OOF.

Oops I repeated one

I was in DC as well for the 2012 inauguration

I took off work and stayed home

I was in DC this year to see family

That sucks dude. Life hit you hard, but death is inevitable. If not now, later. But it sounds like you figured some shit out and I hope you are better for it. @Austin

I mean with the migrant crisis and terrorist attacks I became very reactionary

Understandable

Watched Tim Pool and Lauren Southern's coverage (I didn't know who Tim was then)

when you get hit the natural instinct is to hit back

Also all those “white minority is inevitable articles” didn’t help my anxiety either

Who here voted for Obama in 2012 and then wanted Trump to win in 2016?

I voted for the first time

.... for trump

I got scared off of Obama early.

I voted for Obama

my family

I honestly haven't change my opinion on Romney.

Regrettably voted for McCain.

There's one clip of him that I cannot forgive.

That's how a politician acts.
