The Rubin Report

May 24 2020

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Karlyn Borysenko (Psychologist and Author) about why a lifelong liberal decided to attend a Trump rally and then walk away from the Democratic party. Karlyn shares the beginning of her story when she witnessed the online knitting community turn toxic. She describes how the knitting site Ravelry instituted a policy that sharply divided their users by forbidding any Trump related patterns. She then tells the strange but true story of how online SJW woke mobs targeted and destroyed the businesses of certain users because of their opinions. Karlyn’s experience with online woke mobs and cancel culture inspired her to seek out other points of view. She decided to attend a Trump rally despite her friends warnings not to. She describes what it was like being a democrat attending a Trump event and how she was treated there. She then documented her experience in an article on Medium as a warning to to Democratic Party. The reactions to her article caused her to lose clients and friends. Despite this she shares why leaving the left has actually improved her life.
