Straight up. I was a Rand Paul libertarian at the beginning of senior year, my AP Government class somehow made me a Bernie sanders socialist, fully taken by the mind virus.
I was atheist, considered myself nonbinary or pangender, and BLM.
Covid showed me how easily people are manipulated. If you read any scientific papers during the beginning of the pandemic, you knew covid was not any more serious than the flu, and that like 70% of people had natural immunity from previous coronaviruses.
It led me down a path to Christ, and the reclamation of my masculinity, which largely included the rejection of socialist thievery.
