A lifelong, deep-blue Democrat. Raised in the system. Believed the talking points. Trusted the party. Never questioned it—because she genuinely thought they were the ones who cared.
Then she did something dangerous in today’s world:
she paid attention.
She didn’t “flip overnight.”
She didn’t rage-quit out of anger.
She noticed patterns. She questioned narratives. She followed her intuition when things stopped making sense.
Woman: “Hi everyone, I have been so inspired by Brandon’s hashtag “left the Democratic Party” … why I left … and I thought I’d get on here and share my own story. It’s pretty personal, but for most of my adult life I was a deep blue Democrat. I was raised by a mother who was on welfare and really sucked the system for food stamps and all of the things and she was a big, big Democrat. Like, Obama was her man—Obamacare and everything. And so I always voted Democrat. I really didn’t question it. I just thought it was the party who cared. People who really care about the earth and the environment and each other.
So back in 2011, I watched a documentary and this kind of started to peel back the awareness that things weren’t as they seemed. And the documentary was called “Thrive: What On Earth Will It Take For Us To Thrive?” by Foster Gamble. If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend it. You can only watch it online. And so, he talked about global agendas and… this was a guy who was born into wealth, right? He goes to Bilderberg, he is a part of Davos, he’s, you know, a part of all of that. And he talks about central power and events that could be used to tighten control. One of the things he said to watch for in a false flag was a pandemic.
Now, I didn’t become paranoid, it just planted a seed back in 2011 and it made me more aware of narratives that didn’t add up. So when COVID hit, I was leading a retreat in San Diego, and my husband and I looked at each other, and I just said, “This could be the false flag.” And I didn’t buy the wet market story—right away, intuitively, something felt off. I kept listening and reading and staying alert to people who were, you know, dubbed as conspiracy theorists, of course. The more I learned, the more clear it became that this was a gain-of-function research and our involvement in it was likely part of the story. And so, then came the vaccine push.
And I had spent decades teaching meditation and mind-body medicine and the mind-body connection and my deepest values being freedom, especially bodily sovereignty, because it was… we were the party of “my body, my choice,” right? So, I trusted the intelligence that created my body. Billions of years, this planet is 4.5 billion years old, I trust whatever created it—called God. So I trust my immune system. So I knew immediately that I would not be taking a vaccine. What shocked me was the reaction from the Democrats, a party I believed would defend choice didn’t. Instead, they pushed mandates, passports, and compliance. In the town I live in, which is a very liberal town, businesses demanded vaccine cards. I felt like we were in, you know, Nazi Germany. People were shamed, blamed, labeled grandma killers for making their own decisions. My mother had Alzheimer’s, I could not see her except through a window.
Ironically, the same people who spent years shouting “resist,” you know, refuse to tolerate our resistance. Now they’re shouting it again about Trump. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, okay, the person I never imagined in a million years—I think I had TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, way before it was labeled though—I never imagined agreeing with him. But he was the one who was saying personal choice, “I will never mandate vaccines.” And that woke me up. I was like, okay, that used to be the Democratic value I aligned with, but suddenly it wasn’t.
At the same time, the cultural shift became intense, right? All the past five years—pronoun policing, forced ideological compliance, rewriting of basic biology, DEI, even things like furry identities are okay, you know, being normalized. It’s mental illness, make no mistake. People who… no one’s born in the wrong body. God created us all, and we’re all perfect, and we need to learn how to accept the bodies that we’re in and stop resisting. What you resist persists, right? And it creates suffering. It’s one of the main kleshas of the ancient Vedic teachings is, you know, if you resist something, if you’re attached to something, if you’re trying to push against something, avoidance, you suffer. And that’s what mentally ill people do—they create suffering.
So I just—it felt ungrounded, disconnected from reality. I couldn’t do it, obviously. So little by little I realized the party I’d moved away from and the values, you know, that I hold close—freedom and sovereignty and open inquiry, open dialogue. Look what they did to Charlie Kirk just for communicating personal responsibility. So in 2020, I voted for Trump. It was the first time I voted red. And I was still a little ashamed, I wasn’t sure. The next election though, I had even more clarity. I mean, especially when RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard—I knew I wasn’t alone. I knew that there were common-sense, thinking people. Naomi Wolf, to name one, Bari Weiss, a lot of long-term Democrats, even like Bill Maher, who’s moderate, you know, were questioning things.
And then, Trump was shot. And that day, something happened—full body, visceral, spiritual knowing moved through me. And I felt the Holy Spirit say, “He’s anointed for this moment.” I might not always love his delivery and agree with it, but I trust his intent. I trust Donald J. Trump’s intent is to protect our freedoms, to preserve democracy, defend capitalism, and keep America sovereign, safe, and strong.
So leaving the Democratic Party wasn’t about anger, it was about alignment for me. It was about choosing authenticity over ideology. It was about honoring my intuition, my values, and my freedom. And today I feel at peace. I’m so happy, clear, and awake. I see stories about like Maria Corina Machado, the Nobel Prize winner of Venezuela, who has fought so hard for democracy in her country, and then to have liberals and Democrats reject her because she devoted that prize to Venezuelans and to Donald Trump, because she said President Trump was the only one who would stand and help her. And we see it happening right now.
And so, yeah, my eyes are open and I’m hopeful for this country’s future and for my grandchildren—I have two babies that are nine and 20 months—and I love my grandchildren. I want them to grow up in this beautiful country that has so many opportunities. But we will not lose our culture and bow to Islam, and we will not lose our Christian faith. And we will stand… continue to stand for the Jews, which only represent 15 million on the planet. And we’ll do whatever it takes to do what I feel is the highest. And that’s why I left, and I feel really good. Thanks for listening, and have a beautiful holiday.”

Well thought out. Add to the Democratic Party which chooses promises and then fail: If you like your insurance and or your doctor you can keep them – Promise made, Promise failed. So many Democratic Party controllers have milked the U.S. stock market, yet fail to pass a balanced budget. I and others can add to the list.
Wilson, you nailed it.
We non Political Party moderates, who vote for the best candidate irregardless of their Party, are far less likely to support people based only on party affiliation or the guidance of the Imperial Press.
However; occasionally we Moderates must hold our collective noses and vote for a candidate who is far less than ideal, but at least not as dimwitted or misguided as their opponant or opposing party.
Being a dyed in the wool hard corps Democrat or Republican removes that uncomfortable option.
