Trump and his supporters pushed me FAR to the left.

[Karfal]

If you had asked me 3 years ago what my political leanings were, I'd have said "center-left" . But I also didn't have much political interest back then

Seeing Trump and his crazy supporters changed that. I saw the way they acted and that inspired me to do a ton of my own research and learn a LOT about politics and government in general. My research has taught me that the far left is the answer.

And for non-Americans here, I don't even mean the American definition of far left, I'd be considered far left even by European standards :P

I know I'm not the only person Trump has pushed from relatively moderate to hard left. So thanks for that I suppose.

Edit: to clarify, I didn't just change to far left to spite Trump. All Trump did was give me an incredibly strong interest in politics and made me want to learn more. The result of me learning more is seeing the far left is the answer.

Random aside - why do people feel the need to trot out Obama's middle name as some sort of an insult?

Like I get it - you are trying to draw a comparison between Barack Obama and Saddam Hussein.

But it utterly fails to do so. Nobody talked about Herman Walker Bush or Jefferson Clinton or Walker Bush, so why is there talk about Hussein Obama?

It's a nod to birtherism. The only ones who use Obama's middle name are birthers.

I know.

But I want to hear them say it.
