It wasn’t until I got to college that the Leadership Institute found me because I started requesting information from online resources.Īdam Weinberg, the person who had my job at the time, he reached out to me. I literally just had a lot questions but nobody could really answer them. And by no means was I a conservative at the time. I remember that’s the first time I ever been called a capitalist pig. And the people I started talking to about this outside of school was a lot of other members of Antifa. First time ever for a Leftist to do that. So I remember my econ class, I was a D right there. Nadales: The reason I started questioning my beliefs was in my senior year of high school. But now I see how misguided I used to be.īluey: So, you are involved with groups like Antifa.īluey: And then what happens in your own life or your experience to begin to change your mindset about how you can help people and why conservatism might be a better option? I’ve always just wanted to help people.īack then I thought the best way of helping people was to go and march up to corporations, up to banks, and tell them that they were doing wrong. Nadales: You know something? Really, looking back, I’ve always had the same idea. I did a lot of things for the left.īluey: What was motivating you to do that? I went to the homes of CEOs to tell them they were unwelcome in these communities. That’s when I really began my leftist activism. And I threatened to sue the school because I got in trouble. And I remember it wasn’t until 2010 when I refused to stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance. But really I remember … I didn’t really care too much about it. That’s when I really started doing activism for the left. Honestly, it really takes me back all the way to 2009. Gabriel, tell us how you got started with the left and then we’ll get into your transition to becoming a conservative. I want to begin there because it’s not too often at The Daily Signal we get to talk to people who were involved with the left, particularly Antifa. You also have quite an interesting personal story yourself. You work on that for the Leadership Institute. Gabriel Nadales: Thank you for having me.īluey: Your region is California.
