As the presidential campaign accelerates, let’s have a reality check.
Either Harris or Trump will be inaugurated president in 2025. Don’t like your choices? Neither do a lot of people. But those are the options. Put on your big girl panties and get over it.
Some ostensibly Republican conservative voters say they’ll come back to the GOP when Trump is gone. Clue phone, and it’s for you: the damage that four more years of Harris would do is far more important than whatever you think of the party. Put America first, not either party. If you do that, you’ll vote for Trump.
Harris is basically a socialist, and certainly proposes socialist policies. Trump is a conservative constitutionalist.
Trump is the more moderate of the two candidates, by far.
Trump was president for four years, in which time we had record low unemployment, low inflation, a more secure border, growing real personal income, and no new wars.
Under Harris, we have had nearly four years of record inflation, sky high drug overdoses, an open border with an epidemic of crimes by illegal aliens, America deep into two new wars, and she promises to pack the court, kill the filibuster, and add new states to boost Democrat power.
If you have trouble deciding which candidate is better for America – or think genitalia and skin color should determine your vote – God help us all.
Only one candidate can be considered a constitutional conservative. Your choices are these: vote for a person you dislike who did a good job as president. Or vote for a person you may or may not like who has done a terrible job.
One succeeded. The other did not.
For nearly a decade, I have watched former Republicans and conservatives drop out, check out, and divorce themselves from either the Party or politics in general. Astonishingly, thousands of these people across the country have convinced themselves this shows their honor and decency.
It shows just the opposite.
If you brag that you’re not going to vote Republican as long as Trump is involved with the party, you are by definition making the party the focus of your decision. I honestly don’t care what party Trump is affiliated with. If he was a Reformed Druid Baptist running against a committed leftist, and he had the best chance of beating them, I would vote for him.
Focus on the Party and you’ll get caught up in 3 AM dorm room-level discussions. Focus on what is best for the country, and the decision comes easily.
This just in: NO ONE CARES what you think about the parties. There is no such thing as a protest vote. There are just people without the courage to take a stand. If you oppose Trump, even though you do not favor socialism, it means your commitment to the good of the country is less important than virtue-signaling and being a part of the self-righteous, smug anti-Trump crowd.
Do you really think it is in the best interests of the country to have a president with Harris’s gross incompetence and socialist positions? Make the case. Go ahead. Convince us that is best for the country. Unless you are a socialist, you can’t.
It takes zero courage to turn your back on a party or a candidate when it is the popular thing to do. Courage is not usually found among the group of people standing at the side and making fun of someone.
Courage is found in sincere thought, facts, sound ideas, values, principles, and actions that back them up.
Hate Trump? Good for you. You’ll get a lot of self-congratulatory dithering from others who also haven’t the backbone to hang in for a tough fight.
I don’t know about you, but IF we lose, I will go down fighting. If we ever lose the country, it will be in spite of my best efforts. Quite literally, it may be over my dead body.
So you can choose. You can be courageous, strong, and patriotic, or you can hang out with the vacuous ciphers who pat each other on the back and claim they’re better than you are.
