"LibRehab" is a place to point people to when they showcase clear signs of Liberalism (not in a mean way). It is also a place to proactively destroy your liberalism before it becomes counterrevolutionary.

Posts here should be a mix of simplified theory, countering of historical revisionism / anti-communist talking points, and a nonjudgmental space for those on the journey of deprogramming their mind.

While none of us were precisely born as liberals, the vast majority of us were raised as such.

If you could reach back in time to the past version of you that remained under the illusions of liberalism, what would you say?

I was raised conservative so my journey was a long one, but by the time Obama was elected I was ready for the new new deal that he would certainly be leading the nation through, now that laissez-faire capitalism is so thoroughly discredited. I wasn't a true believer with Obama as an individual. I just thought that was the inevitable conclusion of those events. And I thought we'd be living in social democracy by now, though I didn't know the term, and I thought I'd have guaranteed healthcare and be able to take a train somewhere by now. Knocking that fantasy out of my brain would have taken about six years off the journey. Around 2014 was when I really gave up on the dead end democratic party and realized they just didn't want to do any of this stuff.
