#WalkAway "If you had told me I'd be supporting Donald Trump 5 months ago, I would have laughed in your face. I hated - HATED - Trump since just before he was elected. I had visceral reaction when I saw Trump bumper stickers. I unfollowed friends on Facebook if they often

posted about him in a positive light -- "ignorant", I thought. I cried angry tears when he was not impeached this past winter.
My background: I suppose a "bleeding heart" Christian. Undeclared politically, and never voted a party line, but I generally was very liberal.

I am a trauma therapist. It has become my passion and motivation to learn to work well with people who have experienced significant trauma. I have spent a good amount of my time and resources on quality trauma training, books, and consultation with experts who are further

along in the field.
In 2015 while in trauma trainings, I began learning about cults, mind control, and our government and other structures involvement. It all felt very abstract while learning about it... it was distant, and unless working with survivors of ritual abuse, did

not impact my work and worldview drastically.
It wasn't until this spring I began hearing and seeing that some of these things were being discussed. The documentary Out of Shadows highlighted some of those difficult things I had learned in my training. I couldn't believe it.

It woke me up HARD. I have spent the last handful of months going down the rabbit hole of information. I have never felt this hungry for the truth.
Now that I am awake and have shaken off the trance of the main stream media, the lies and deception are so easy to see. It's

truly unbelievable. Now, I know why I hated Trump - because the media [linked to the deep state] had a tight grip on the narrative. And I, like many, was deceived to think that my hatred was warranted and related to social justice.
I walked alongside others in my community

at a black lives matter rally, because I believed it was the right thing to do. I am still proud of it, nonetheless. I think that people should be heard. But now I see how honest, justice-seeking people are being played and used for a crooked agenda [*cough* George Soros].

It was a hard sell at first, but now having done my due diligence in research, I am confident in my vote for Donald Trump. Prior, I was unable and unwilling to look at his accomplishments (which are many!!!). Just one that feels so obvious to me is his efforts to address

human trafficking -- it's never been done like this before. And, I can now make the connection that controlling the border also helps to control trafficking (duh!!). I wish so badly for people to see his many accomplishments. Like many of you have already noted he is not a

perfect man, but he (along with others) are fighting for our freedom on a level that is mind blowing. It feels like a spiritual battle.
I am a miracle Trump supporter. If you have family or friends who are not, hold them in positive thought and heart. They are on their own

**As a therapist, I prefer to be ambiguous in my personal beliefs. I welcome any and all with differing perspectives. I would never venture into attempting to

persuade a client in any of my views. My job is to be with them and assist in processing. Posting feels a bit risky, because I want to make sure my clients feel safe.
