@MaryLTrump I have been married for 39 years in a state that requires voter ID. I’ve voted in every election since I got married.
But I was smart enough to take my birth certificate and my marriage license to get new IDs the first time! And, I still have both if I ever need them again.
Beth, while Trump isn’t my guy in the primary (nor was he in 2016), I do think you have a blind spot.
There may be a segment of Trump fans who love everything he posts, including the name-calling and the accusations of backstabbing toward former allies he now considers disloyal. But the majority of his ardent supporters don’t like these things. It’s just that, to them, his flaws pale in comparison to what he’s accomplished. His SCOTUS picks helped overturn Roe, saving thousands of image bearing lives. He helped bring about unprecedented peace in the Middle East. He oversaw a booming economy.
I could list things I think he did wrong, but he also did a lot of things right. That’s why people like him. Plus, his political enemies have thrown everything possible at him, and still are. Heck, Time Magazine published a whole article explaining how national and international entities worked together to keep Trump out of office. Thus his supporters think, “If all the people that hate me also hate him, he must be onto something.” They see him as the victim of an unjust system and the only one who can effectively fight back against it.
You can agree with them or not, but it’s inaccurate and unfair to say everyone who votes for him does so because they enjoy bullying and verbal abuse. It’s like saying that everyone who voted for Biden specifically wanted someone who can’t complete a coherent sentence and lies constantly.
Which brings me to my next point—Where is your lament for our current political leadership? The Biden administration is objectively wicked. Destructive. Oppressive. Idolatrous. Bloodthirsty. Foolish. It actively promotes the butchering of children both in and outside the womb. Its support of abortion and genital mutilation are sufficient reasons to publicly condemn Biden and his cohort, and yet, at least from what I’ve seen, you haven’t. The faults in the White House go beyond bullying. The policies it pushes cause chaos, death, and decay.
Every single city dominated by these progressive policies has been destroyed, Beth. Violence, drugs, inescapable poverty - all enabled and exacerbated by laws enacted in the name of progressive compassion.
It’s okay that you don’t like Trump. I have my gripes, too. But save some righteous anger for the greater evil unfolding before your eyes, under this administration. If Trump is our mirror, so is Biden. And that, I’m afraid, is a far more sobering thought.
@robinson_irma @LisaChr32918472 So now it’s not even ok to talk to our kids about what is bothering them if it happens to be wearing a mask that bothers them? God help us all!
@HockeyMomDiva@AP Wow! Finally! An expert on elections has spoken. Words you can truly trust! Who knew all the right answers were being held by a hockey mom! I mean as a mom myself, I have high regard for all moms, but this, this is impressive. 🙄
@NBCBlacklist Thank you for the best episode in a long time. When Glen wins the truck back is one of my favorites. But every episode with Glen was the best! Eye of the Tiger, Baby.
@jforrest69@CBSSports From the same folks who think Gary Danielson is a prize! What do you expect. If Alabama games weren’t in CBS so often, I’d never watch again!
@Hunter14Troy @jason01418742@dbongino Exactly. People are complaining about what these blue states have become because of their crazy liberal policies, they move to states like Texas, and they continue to vote for the crazy liberal policies.
@MrGCotts@dbongino Exactly what I was going to say. They are running from Blue over control and not voting any differently once they leave. It this mind blowing.
