Tough Talk, Common Sense, and Hope from a Former Conservative
![Jese Leos](https://paragraph.deedeebook.com/author/dashawn-hayes.jpg)
I used to be a conservative. I believed in limited government, free markets, and individual responsibility. I thought that the best way to help people was to get out of their way and let them succeed or fail on their own merits.

But over time, I began to see the error of my ways. I saw how the conservative movement had become more and more extreme, more and more divorced from reality. I saw how it was hurting people, not helping them.
The final straw for me was the election of Donald Trump. Trump is a dangerous demagogue who has no respect for the rule of law or the institutions of our democracy. He is a bully who preys on the fears and insecurities of people. I could no longer support a party that was led by someone like him.
So I left the Republican Party. I am now an independent, and I am proud to be one. I believe that there is a better way to do things, a way that is based on compassion, empathy, and common sense.
I am not saying that all conservatives are bad people. I know many good conservatives who are genuinely trying to make the world a better place. But I believe that the conservative movement as a whole has lost its way.
The conservative movement used to be about limited government, free markets, and individual responsibility. But now it is about something else entirely. It is about protecting the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the poor and middle class. It is about dividing people by race, religion, and sexual orientation.
This is not the conservatism that I believe in. I believe in a conservatism that is based on compassion, empathy, and common sense. I believe in a conservatism that puts people first, not profits.
I know that many people are disillusioned with politics today. They feel like the system is rigged against them, and they have stopped participating. But I urge you to get involved. We need your voices now more than ever.
We need to come together to build a better future for our country. A future where everyone has a fair shot at success, a future where we can live together in peace and harmony. A future where we can all be proud to be Americans.
I know that this will not be easy. But I believe that it is possible. If we work together, we can make a difference.
Here are some ways that you can get involved:
- Register to vote and make sure your voice is heard on Election Day.
- Contact your elected officials and let them know your concerns.
- Volunteer for a candidate or cause that you believe in.
- Donate to organizations that are working to make a difference.
- Talk to your friends and family about the importance of getting involved in politics.
Every little bit helps. By getting involved, you can make a difference in your community, your state, and your country.
I hope that you will join me in working to build a better future for all Americans.
Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
A Former Conservative
