I voted Obama in his first term to give you an idea of my political leanings.  I voted independent in 2020. (No Clinton or Trump)

For me it started during Covid sensorship on FB. Why can't I discuss this? Red Flag #1
Followed by a lock down and a "vaccine" mandate that terrified me as it became clear that it didn't do anything to stop transmission. very deliberate censorship on Fb,yt,Twitter even if you were politely asking why church is not allowed but I can go to a restaurant and sit unmasksed after sitting.

That quickly grew into social media bans for misgendering or saying anything that might "hurt" someones feelings.

Now fast forward to obvious lies about vaccine injury , Obvious media bias to the point of feeling like MSM is just a weaponized arm of the liberal establishment.

lies, lies, more lies, followed by pushing a woke agenda that was obviously punative towards anything "white" or Christian families. 
That was only 2020.

Open boarders, bus tickets,free rooms, debit cards,healthcare  to illegals while we have only $750 for fire/hurricane victims that lost everything. 
oh and let them vote!

enforce the law when a white man defends himself on a subway, but not when an illegal rapes or murders someone. 

Should I go on?

I will never vote liberal again in my lifetime. 

The irony is that the woke agenda crap has set race issues and gay rights back at least 30 years.

 Sorry to hear all this. Sounds like a lot of frustration and anger, I feel the ranting through the lines. Don't think that an internet stranger can make you feel different. On the other hand I see things so differently. Sure a lot is wrong and it is not like I have much trust in the current political climate in Europe or US, so I resonate on that. However it also feels like a lot of emotions and convictions got mixed up. Fighting fire with fire, most of the time just increases the fire....I hope you find peace in your lifetime. 
 I’ve had a very similar trajectory. I question everything now. 
 Questioning everything is not necessarily a bad thing, I suppose, but it seems that your focused too much on what is happening outside. The work is within you. Connect with nature and ultimately yourself. Take care of yourself in diet (food, stuff and relationships). Know thouself. I think self love is underestimated and missing in this world. Hope you can connect with yourself and find peace 🙏 
 Thanks Rik! 
 What I also thought is, it is remarkable your path started in the covid period, but you seem to be inclined to help the powers of those years back in the saddle.
