L ## Destroying Democracy to Own the Libs +Edit (09-11-2024): I understand that there are regular everyday Americans who are checked out of politics, ignorant of Trump's crimes and January 6th, and only voted for him because the price of groceries went up and they were bombarded with information telling them it was Biden's fault and Trump could fix it. If that's you, then most of the criticisms in the rest of this entry aren't directed at you and I apologize if the way I wrote this entry makes it seem like they are. I was speaking more towards those who fit a certain stereotype of Trump supporter. That's why I'm adding this clarification. You are the judge which criticisms apply to you and to what extent. + Let me extend an olive branch to the MAGA camp. I also hate the sanctimoniousness and political correctness coming from the left as much as any Trump supporter, I see the biases in the reporting by the liberal media, and I agree that in some ways the left takes things too far, and in other ways doesn't go far enough. But **I'm not going to elect a guy who will torch US democracy just to trigger the radical left** and if that's what you plan on doing, you need to grow the fuck up. I know the radical left triggers you, but the vote is not an anger management tool. Sure, you can vote for Trump and own the libs, but you'll also own yourself because you're electing a guy who doesn't even fucking believe in your right to vote. The guy who you're thinking of voting for is a pompous narcissistic bully. He spreads disinformation and lies at a velocity never before seen in all of American political history. He breaks longstanding political norms. He says things that, had *any* other presidential candidate said them, it would've ended their political career forever. He insults US allies and talks about "falling in love" with brutal dictators like Kim Jong Un. He attacks journalists, calling all negative press coverage of him "fake news". He wants to give up the fight against climate change and let the human race perish. He doesn't even respect the Constitution or the rule of law. And he tried to coup the government because he prioritizes his own interests over democracy. |
