RED PILLED? Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian Says Trump “Broke Her Brain”, Act of Kindness Changed Her Mind About Trump Supporters (VID)


The existential question of our time: red pill, or blue pill?

Long before Morpheus offered Neo the chance to see “how deep the rabbit hole goes”, people have been describing life altering moments of insight that shatters what they previously considered to be true.

Ana Kasparian seems to be smack dab in the middle of one of those moments.

As a co-host of The Young Turks, Ana Kasparian historically fit right in with the left-leaning diatribes the show is known for.

But in recent months, something seems to have changed in Ana Kasparian’s outlook — and she has started to openly talk about it.

First, check out the clip that just went viral (over 1.4 million views in less than 24 hours!) in which Kasparian tells the story of a Trump supporter who lives in her apartment building.

“Jeff”, the neighbor she became good friends with, seems to have single-handedly cracked the shell of her previously blue-pilled mentality towards Trump supporters.

How?  With a simple act of kindness.  Watch this!

Here’s a partial transcript from the video, shared by comedian and film maker Eric Abbenante on X yesterday:

“Trying to get this bicycle up the stairs, this guy stops me, his name is Jeff, ‘Let me help you out with that’.

Jeff and I became very close, he was my favorite person in the entire building.

We’re in a HOA meeting: One of the people living in the building, said something about Trump that was negative.

Jeff whispers in my ear ‘If she’s going to start trashing Trump, I’m out of here.’

I got to know Jeff before I got to know what his politics were: Incredibly kind guy, helps everyone in this building with anything they might need.

That woke me up to : Not all Trump supporters are dangerous evil individuals.
I’m embarrassed admitting that.”

It’s sort of amazing that a simple act of kindness can have such a profound impact on someone’s worldview; particularly someone who is so intentional and conscious of their worldview to the degree that they make their living talking about it.

Ana Kasparian isn’t even the “average person” who is far more unconscious and less thought-out concerning their feelings on things.  The fact is, most people couldn’t articulate what they think and feel about the world in a concise manner — because they’ve simply never been that intentional about it.

Ana Kasparian has — and look how big of an impact that ONE ACT OF KINDNESS had in breaking through the “blue wall” of her mindset!  THAT IS AMAZING!

And… it’s really good news for conservatives.  Because it means your average person is EVEN MORE likely to reconsider their “blue pilled” narratives than Ana was when faced with the humanity behind those on the other side of the political (and religious…) fence.

Newsflash: God designed it that way.  Which means it isn’t rocket science when it comes to cracking the shell of illogical, progressive, left-leaning ideologies!  (Praise God!)

In exactly the same way that the Biblical gospel message breaks through spiritual blindness with it’s seriously simple truth:

  1. Every one of us is sinful.
  2. Jesus paid our sin debt by his perfect life, death, and resurrection.
  3. We can each be saved by God’s grace, through faith in Christ…

In the very same way that spiritual truths “ring true”, political principles “ring true”, as well.  God literally designed the fabric of reality out of the principles of truth — it can not HELP but work that way!

Which means people with twisted up worldviews aren’t nearly as hard to reach as we tend to think!

Cenk Uygur, co-creator of The Young Turks who often sits alongside Ana Kasparian, also made waves recently with comments that seem far more indicative of common-sense conservatism than that of the illogical liberal left.

Uygur even recently defended President Trump’s remarks about Liz Cheney, according to an article in the Daily Presser.

Is there a shift happening at The Young Turks? Recent comments from Ana Kasparian and her co-host, Cenk Uygur, suggest surprising new perspectives emerging from the progressive platform. Uygur recently defended former President Donald Trump’s remarks about Liz Cheney, while Kasparian has praised certain conservative policies in Florida.

The latest buzz surrounds Kasparian’s candid account of a personal experience that shifted her view of Trump supporters—a moment that’s now sparking conversations across social media.

In a viral video, Kasparian recounts an encounter with a neighbor that profoundly challenged her preconceptions about Trump voters. She described how a simple act of kindness from this neighbor, who she later discovered was a Trump supporter, made her pause and reflect on her assumptions.

According to Kasparian, the neighbor had gone out of their way to help her during a difficult moment. The gesture was unexpected and deeply appreciated, leading her to question the stereotypes she had previously associated with Trump supporters.

“I just couldn’t reconcile this kind and generous act with the narrative I had in my head,” Kasparian admitted in the video.

Kasparian’s story highlights a larger issue: the dangers of reducing individuals to political labels. She acknowledged that her experience with the neighbor forced her to confront her biases and rethink how she views people with opposing political beliefs.

It was only a week ago that Uygur set off a firestorm by daring to relate the facts surrounding his direct question to Elon Musk regarding an offer to help cut the Pentagon’s wasteful spending, and Elon’s subsequent request for Uygur’s suggestions.

Imagine that… a beneficial dialogue.  The left is crumbling because it disdainfully resists any true dialogue of substance.

Why?  Because very little of the rhetoric spawned from the democratic party is substantial, but tends to be the shallow oft-repeated soundbites devoid of fact and disconnected from reality that stick in the minds of those who hate anyone who doesn’t agree with them — who are looking for something resembling a “principle” to justify their hatred.

Check out another clip shared by Eric Abbernante of Ana Kasparian making almost that exact point.

Kasparian literally just admitted that the narrative being pushed by the democrats about President Trump was so contradicted by the reality of who Trump is and what he stands for that it was not reconcilable in her mind.

I think I’ve discovered one of the primary issues that allowed Ana Kasparian to begin her journey of being “red pilled”.

At some point she realized that identity politics was a deceptive tactic of the left.

I would bet her interaction with Jeff the Trump supporter had something to do with shattering that “identitarian garbage” and any power it had over propping up those left-leaning narratives that previously lived unmitigated in her brain.

Check this out — during the same interview on the Modern Wisdom podcast, she started talking about the flawed immigration policies of the Biden-Harris administration.

She then gives President Trump credit for having been right on his immigration policies all along!

If that’s not a classic case of being “red pilled”, I’m not sure what would qualify.

But if you think that’s amazing, watch this.  Ana Kasparian yesterday on The Young Turks completely scroches the democratic party’s failed policies and illogical self-affirming pride over those failed policies.

And don’t miss this — she’s not attacking anything but the POLICIES.  She’s talking like a PRINCIPLED conservative voice of common sense.  Amazing!

While I would pushback against her “Biden was a ‘little better” comment, that is real movement from her ideological blind positions of the past, when she would have blindly lambasted the republican position as devilry while praising the saintly position of the democrats.

There is a lesson here for all of us.  First, don’t give up.  Solid principles truly do carry the day, eventually, when the flimsy nature of pure rhetoric doesn’t deliver.

But also, keep the faith.  People truly are waking up.  Democrats, republicans, and independents alike have been forced by the extreme nature of the last few years to take an INENTIONAL and CONSCIOUS look at what they believe.

For far too long, the emotional has hidden behind the misleading label of “pragmatism”, masquerading as principle.

If there is one good thing that has come from the turmoil of the last few years, it is this: the stark reality between circumstantial pragmatism and actually standing on solid principles has NEVER BEEN MORE CLEAR.

And if I’m right… we’re about to see masses of people from every corner of our society “red pilled” beyond our wildest imaginations.  Ana Kasparian may just be the tip of the iceberg.
