Yesterday was the year anniversary of Rob Harris and I going to Donald Trump's rally in Fort Worth, Texas. Bobby, a Cruz supporter and I a firm Rand Paul and anti-Trump conservative. While in line, we passed many proud Hispanics parked on one side of the road blocking traffic. Some had Trump flags dragging on the ground and most carried Mexican flags waving high in the air--and all were blaring mariachi music in protest as they stared into the long line with hatred and disgust as we slowly progressed towards the most intriguing candidate of the 2016 election. As we got closer and closer to the venue there was an exponential increase of protest.

The KKK members, Nazis, and white supremacists in line with me came from all different backgrounds. While inside the rally, I noticed whites, blacks, native Americans, Hispanics, Indians, Arabs, and nearly every ethnicity you could think of right there with me to see a man that would soon become the next president of the United States. These people--many of which had children with them--stood and were called all sorts of white slurs (even though they were not white) by the "progressive left" for simply standing in a line. After the rally, my dislike of Trump did not change. I was slightly impressed but was not ready to support him (I voted for Marco Rubio in the Texas Primary). What I did realize first hand that day was that 1.) Donald J. Trump was not as evil or bad as the media reports and 2.) The progressive movement as a whole is truly a REGRESSIVE movement. I did end up voting for Trump in the general election because the other candidates did not represent my beliefs more than him. As I look back on this rally, it is very clear that ill-informed progressiveness and the willful ignorance of modern liberals contributed much
