Is this the twilight zone? He's starting to feel like it. With all the crazy and dangerous things happening around the world, it almost feels like we're on a reality show waiting for someone to come out and say, “You've been PUNKED!” But unfortunately, this is our reality, thanks to the crazy left-wing globalist elites trying to take over the world. However, every now and then something crazy but good happens, and you take a breath and think, “Maybe we're not so doomed after all.” And believe it or not, now is one of those times.
Did you ever think you'd see the day when a former liberal fathead from Facebook would endorse President Trump? Well, now you have. Meet David Marcus. He is an American entrepreneur and co-creator of Diem, a cryptocurrency project started by Facebook. He served as the former president of PayPal and vice president of messaging products at Facebook, overseeing Facebook Messenger from 2014 to 2018.
That's quite a resume, isn't it? And now, he's a Trump voter. The really good news, though, is his perspective on what happened to get to this point, and it's a fascinating read.
Here is what David posted on X.
I am crossing the Rubicon and supporting the Republican Party and President Trump.
Many, including an earlier version of myself, get stuck in a frame of mind that becomes their identity and prevents them from radically evolving their thinking with new facts and information. I finally broke free of him.
My journey has been a gradual political 180 from where I stood in all previous elections. It's been an eye-opening process of disenchantment, of lifelong beliefs with zero basis, and rebuilding from there.
In 2017, a good friend hired me to pitch at the DNC to raise $100 million from Silicon Valley founders and executives. The goal was to use these funds and insights to build a CRM and technology platform to prevent a repeat of Hillary Clinton's inadequate and outdated 2016 campaign. We met with DNC leadership, who told us that we could raise that money, but it would have to go into the general fund; then a single digit percentage would be allocated to technology. In the wake of one of their most shocking failures, they didn't want the help.
The next series of realizations started in 2019 while on Meta, right after the Libra white paper was announced. I testified before the Senate and the House, and subsequently spent significant time in DC, engaging with lawmakers, cabinet members, regulators and two White House administrations. At the time, I still believed in the general idea that Democrats were about serving the people. However, I was surprised to learn that, for the most part, Republicans care more about their constituents, while Democrats, in my experience, care more about government power and control. This is my take on balance, with many stories to back it up. I also found that more Republicans wanted to understand the goals of our project and took the time to learn about the risks of censoring payments and controlling the network. I found myself remarkably aligned with them.
Then came COVID, revealing more. While I don't subscribe to the most malicious vaccine conspiracy theories, I do take offense at the censorship machine put in place to hide the origin of the virus from the NIH-funded Wuhan lab and all dissenting voices on vaccinations and blockages In that moment, I fully appreciated why Republicans value free speech and preventing censorship.
This tendency to spin and fabricate a parallel reality to serve the Dem agenda, solidified by the complicit mainstream media, hit home with the Hunter Biden laptop story, the coordinated vilification of President Trump and his supporters and President Biden's cognitive decline, depriving voters of a voice in a proper primary. These examples showed the arrogance of the current Dem leadership. You must think the American people are fools to believe in such matters. I viscerally despise this ideology of the elite against the general population.
This version of the Democratic Party is abandoning moderates and centrists and has adopted an increasingly leftist ideology. This drift to the left has dictated policies from which I have distanced myself.
Domestically, there has been a complete departure from the core American value system of meritocracy, an extreme and weaponized DEI agenda, an open door to mass illegal immigration, and a previously fringe narrative , now dominant within the party, of vilification. success. This change is also causing us to be left behind by a regulatory climate against innovation, especially in cryptography and soon AI, two non-linear technological advances that will likely determine the leading countries of tomorrow.
In foreign policy, the administration is exacerbating tensions with Russia through an aggressive narrative of NATO expansion centered on Ukraine and prolonging an unwinnable war. This is costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, the world hundreds of thousands of lives, depleting the American military arsenal and risking World War III. On Iran, this administration is continuing a misguided Obama-era plan to bring Iran closer to the West by unfreezing Trump-era sanctions, thereby giving the Mullahs' regime the ability to fund terrorism and pursue his anti-America, anti-Israel and anti-Jewish agenda. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was also disastrously managed. We are leaving a door open for China to invade Taiwan by appearing weak. Most importantly to me, as far as Israel is concerned, the administration is allowing Iran to fund Hamas and Hezbollah, holding back Israel in its fight against its enemies, thereby prolonging yet another conflict, which is costing more lives in both sides and allows unprecedented levels of anti-Semitism to rise. house
I think we need a president who is unequivocally pro: America, the Constitution, business, Bitcoin/crypto, innovation, Israel, small government, legal immigration, free speech, meritocracy, and common sense, and against: regulatory proliferation, illegal immigration legal, unjust wars, the current regime in Iran, and national groups that oppose American values. These issues are central to President Trump's platform.
Naturally, I disagree with President Trump and the GOP on some issues, especially women's reproductive rights. While I have learned that extreme views exist on both sides, I strongly believe that women should have the inalienable right to make their own decisions on this polarizing issue. President Trump confirmed that he was against a national abortion ban and supported the Supreme Court's decision to maintain access to mifepristone, which was reassuring and a sign that the party is was approaching the center.
It is impossible to close this post without mentioning the recent assassination attempt on President Trump. The courage and determination he showed seconds after being hit by a bullet was impressive to his supporters and detractors alike. This was a man, imperfect as he was, who, at that moment, embodied the American spirit in the most vivid way, beginning to reunite a divided nation.
Some claim that re-electing President Trump will bring our democracy to its knees. However, the alternative—having unelected individuals with so much power and no accountability running our government along with four more years of bad policies at home and abroad—could pose a greater threat. Neither is likely to change in a Harris administration and could get worse.
At this crucial time, faced with the options before us, I am supporting and supporting a return to a Republican administration in 2025.

One of the first to respond to David's post was none other than another former Democrat, General Michael Flynn. Lord knows, he has had his own battles with the ills of his former party. Caught in the crosshairs of Russia's deception, he paid a heavy price. But today, he is victorious and free. Here's what he had to say about David's political awakening.
I too am a reformed democrat. I walked into the White House with @realDonaldTrump
as a democrat I am from a family of Democrats (9 brothers and sisters). We called ourselves “Kennedy Democrats.” I never cared about politics, I only cared about the country. I saw from the beginning that the country was headed in the wrong direction under the Democrats and the mindless neocon warmongers in the GOP. Now you'll find out if you have real friends or not (and don't talk to anyone at the FBI). Thank you for understanding the dangers facing America and the world.

It's an amazing journey that David chose to take, and we're so glad he did, and that he shared it with us too. Her willingness to open herself up to changing her views is not only brave but also truly inspiring. It shows how powerful it can be to embrace change and share that growth with others.
On a more personal note, thank God David woke up to see how deranged and insane this godless lip service leftist cult really is. Welcome to the party, David. Now, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work making America great again.
