So since I was very little, I was very interested to go to the origins, to the etymology of the word politics. Politics is what happens in the polis, in the city. It's a Greek word.
So everything that we do is really political because we all live in this city and in society. So, yeah, that's how I got there. Well, I also, when you mentioned police, you also think of the state because the state is the only one that has police powers.
The power to lock you up, the power to declare war, to fight guns, to send armies to destroy, they can lock you up, they can destroy your reputation. And by the way, if you guys want to read the story, you can find, you can click that Substack link up there and you can check it out and read it for yourself. I have one last question for you.
What was, what's the thing that, what do you hope will come of stories like yours? Because it is a hopeful story because you were raised one way, you changed, you met Jesus, you have a relationship with him. What do you hope will come of this? What do you hope comes of sharing your story, sharing your testimony with people? What do you want them to take away from it? Yeah, that's a good question. I really, really, sharing this story, it's not very common because people who have been in the left and so active in the left have a hard time saying they have changed their mind.
Like the people that I used to work with, do community work in Los Angeles, they found out that I was supporting Trump and they would get together to laugh at me, somebody told me. So, what I would like is to give permission to people who have been so deceived by these demonic ideologies to realize that they're not alone, that there's other people who have done that. In addition to that, I don't know if you know, but there are a lot of thought leaders in the United States, even from the 30s, who used to be communists.
And they, at some point, realized, they awakened, like my story, and they, I don't know if they had a conversion, a religious conversion, but they had a political conversion. Whitaker Chambers is one of them. David Horowitz, who died recently.
