Trump really ruined just about everything for me. The ability to read or watch the news. Surf the Internet. Interact with other people on social media. Everything has turned into some sort of hostile confrontation, propaganda, or simply fabricated lies. I’ll vote, but I’m not going to watch the returns, and I am not going to let the midterms upset me. At this point, it just is what it is. And there’s nothing I can do about it. I always knew there were a lot of stupid people in this country, but I never knew there were *that* many stupid people in this country. And apparently they vote.
The Trumpers were always here. The internet made it possible for them to connect with each other. People that couldn't add 2 and 2 are now explaining the Constitution to us.
1) I would not have voted for Trump in 2016, and 2020? That would have been a coin flip as the Libertarians weren't running a strong candidate.
2) What Trump did was give a voice to and stir up "the silent majority" that Richard Nixon referenced.
3) The mainstream media likes to say that there was a record number of votes in 2020, but do I believe that a record number of people voted? No. There was a lot of ballot harvesting going on and I say that as someone that actually was loaned to a key democrat party organization by my employer (with promises of a raise and good assignment after the election. She kept her promise).
4) Hey, Hotrod, I have several degrees in Constitutional Law. While I admit that math is not my strong suit, I can speak at length about Madison v. Marbury, Plessy v. Ferguson or Brown v. Board of Education.
5) So, what did all this ballot harvesting create? Inflation is higher than it's been in 40 years. The southern border is a mess. George Soros funded DA's are making a number of cities unlivable. There are supply chain breakdowns and things are about to get worse with a trucker protest in Canada is about to come to the U.S. President poopypants' ratings are in the toilet and his VP's ratings are even worse. And let me get this straight, you want to continue voting for the group that is creating all this chaos? Wow. You must live in a gated community and have other people doing your shopping for you.
