Possible Trend? Lefties Taking the "Red Pill" and Turning to the Right, Rejecting SJWism

Maybe some room for optimism.

The mainstream media failed to see the rise of Donald Trump in 2016. Now it's overlooking another grassroots movement that may soon be of equal significance-- the growing number of liberals "taking the red pill." People of all ages and ethnicities are posting YouTube videos describing "red pill moments"--personal awakenings that have caused them to reject leftist narratives imbibed since childhood from friends, teachers, and the news and entertainment media.

You might say that those who take the red pill have been "triggered." But instead of seeking out "safe spaces," they're doing the opposite, posting monologues throwing off the shackles of political correctness.

Their videos can feature the kind of subversiveness that was once a hallmark of the left''before the movement lost its sense of humor.

Candace Owens, a charismatic young African American, posts commentaries on her YouTube channel whose titles seem expressly designed to make PC heads explode.

A sample: "I Do''t Care About Charlottesville, the KKK, or White Supremacy." The commentary calls out liberal fearmongering over white supremacists. "I mean there are, what, 6,000 Klansmen left in our nation. You want me to actually process that as a legitimate fear every day when I wake up?"

...

A later episode about Black Lives Matter got nearly 700,000 views and had the distinction of being briefly taken down by YouTube. Unapologetic, Owens responded with a follow-up commentary -- "What YouTube and Facebook REALLY Think of Black People."

She declared, "There was only one version of a black person that these platforms are willing to help propel towards fame and notoriety--and that is an angry black victim."

The article details more such Red Pill diarists. Here's one of the Candace Owens videos.
