Copied from a friend: "PROUD DEMOCRAT". I am 57 years old and have never voted for a Republican.

I have a picture of my Mother with Hillary Clinton that I had sitting on my dresser. I would argue with anyone that said they were voting for Trump. #GiantSlayer

. I refused to use the words, "Trump" and "President" in the same sentence. "He is NOT my President!", I would stubbornly tell anyone.

I still don't know exactly when things changed. I feel like it started when I watched Nancy Pelosi tear up the Presidents speech.

I was for the first time ever embarrassed of the Democratic party. Then there was the impeachment. I drive 1.5 hours to work each way every day and I would listen to CNN the whole ride. I was not only embarrassed but honestly angry at how it seemed the President was being setup.

I started secretly listening to Fox News on the way to work and CNN on the way home. I had never listened to Fox News before as I was always told by fellow party members that it is not "real" news. I was trying to make sense of the thoughts I was having.

I woke up one morning (literally) and realized for the first time ever that I had been fooled by the Democrats. I had been blinded by my stubbornness to look at the other side. Blinded by my pride to admit I could be wrong. Blinded by my past beliefs.

I had refused to look at any other side except my own. How could I have believed everything I was being told by the Democratic Party? I had quit talking to family members (sorry Greg). I had argued with good friends.

Realizing my previous beliefs were wrong was a really hard pill to swallow. I still can't believe it took me so long to see the light. I'm just thankful I did. I will be voting for President Trump IN PERSON. I thank God I saw the light & hope more people like me open their eyes.

Now, let me add I personally was a Democrat for 42 years. I was a slow learner on politics. I will never vote Dem again. . #walkaway #SilentMajority #SilentNoMore #WalkAwayCampaign #WALKAWAY2020
