Why I am voting for Trump is simple. I would vote for any Republican because only they will put a stop to the madness of “gender-affirming care,” a cult-like phenom that has overtaken the Left only in the past decade. What they’re doing to kids is horrifying. If you are voting for the Democrats, you are voting for that. Good luck. Everything that happens to these kids will be on you.

Secondly, after I watched “cancel culture” spread to the government and watched our government lurch toward totalitarian rule, that is when I knew we were in the danger zone. When they raided Mar-a-Lago, I decided to vote for Trump. When they convicted him and called him a felon, I became a Trump supporter.

But more than that, this story is really about how I could not take the hate demanded of me from my former side. I overdosed on it. I could feel it like sludge in my veins. I decided I had to escape my own feedback loop and my former tribe to find out what was true and what wasn’t.

And almost nothing was true. That was the shocking part. It was all a delusion. But explaining that to people is like trying to explain that there was no such thing as witchcraft in Salem in 1692.

You see, when you have cast your opponent as Hitler, what won’t you do to stop him from rising and winning? What can’t you do to him and to his supporters? There is no bottom. I could not stand on that side.

Trump isn’t Hitler. For one thing, Hitler had a plan. Trump does not. He is merely a guy who says whatever he wants to say. To the totalitarians on the Left, THAT is the threat. ...

I believe in telling the truth, no matter where it takes you. Does it mean you are now human garbage to the people with all of the power? So be it. I can’t do the other thing. I can’t lie and pander. I can’t pile on. I can’t dehumanize. This is where I’ve landed. Knowing I am healthier in my mind and heart makes me feel better.

Hollywood is collapsing. No one cares about the movies anymore. Hardly anyone watches them. Why? Because they can’t tell the truth anymore, not even to themselves. But as long as they have a fresh supply of people to accuse and purge, they can pretend they’re still the good guys.

There is much more of course. I think Trump knows who to believe now.

Don't forget, Trump folded the Fed into the Treasury (beginning detachment of the foreign bankster occupation and perpetual Babylonian debt slavery) and oversaw the official bankruptcy and dissolving of the US Corp from 1871. What we have now is a zombie corporation in the foreign occupied foreign city state of Washington DC.

One of Trump's important jobs is to oversee the final destination of the bankruptcy of the Crown Corporation masquerading as the government of the Republic, and bring the actual assemblies of the Republic back online.

Some of Trump's accomplishments

I actually don't even care even though the list is real. I cannot vote for Kamala. She's dumb as can be. I'm not sexist, but I'll never respect dip shit women. She's going to get slaughtered with the male vote and I think the black vote. I think my Dem voting mom might sit this one out.

I think the debate brings the official implosion of the Democrat party. As long as Trump doesn't call her stupid or insult her it's a checkmate. Stick to policy and he wins in November. Down ballot candidates probably win as well.

True, this is why I think Kamala will try to cancel the debates and blame Trump for the cancelation.

Nothing is impossible at this point. I think the inner workings of the Dem party has given up though. Trump literally didn't run really and got the delegates. Kamala didn't run at all and was anointed. I don't think most people even know who she is besides hard core politicos that are already set on their candidate.

I probably have too much confidence Trump wins, but he's a known commodity. Kamala is generally an unknown. Once she opens her mouth on a National stage she's probably screwed. I don't want to wish away fall weather, but I kind of just want it to be November already. Still so many opportunities for this to go full retard. More than it already has.

Just think, for a moment, about the last
8 years:
After Trump surprised everyone, our
own federal agencies falsely accused
him of being a Russian agent.
Then they tried to impeach him on
total bullshit.
Then they tried to bury the Hunter
Biden laptop story because it showed
irrefutable proof of the Biden's family's
criminal enterprise.
Then they rigged an election to install
the senile crime boss as President.
Then they banned Trump from social
media.
Then for years they assured us Biden
was healthier than ever and was
governing just fine, despite record
inflation and border
porous that 10
million people crossed in under 4 years!
Then when it became clear Trump
was running again every crooked DA
in the country, with marching orders
from Washington, cooked up countless
phony lawsuits to try to put him away.
Then, after he won the nomination,
they literally tried to assassinate the
guy! (The missteps are well documented
and at this point we can only conclude
that it was gross incompetence at best,
and a plot by our own government at
worst).
Finally, when it was clear Trump was
going to win in a landslide, they installed
a proud Communist at the last second,
tossing out the wishes of 14 million
primary voters, to try and salvage the
election.
This timeline is literally fucking insane!
The early 20th Century Balkans be like
"damn, y'all need to chill!"
If this was a novel being pitched to a
publisher it would be laughed away as
too ridiculously dystopian.
But it is in fact our reality, made even
more outlandish by the fact that their
current DEl candidate is running solely
on a vibe: joy. She doesn't have a single
policy position on her website and when
approached by reporters she scurries
away like a cockroach when the lights
come on.
The press defend her, and half the
country laps it up like a dog that has just
discovered peanut butter.
Imagine what the future holds should
a regime that succeeded in two soft
coups over 4 years retain power.
Extradition to England for wrongthink
on X quickly becomes a reality, as does
every other horror associated with the
acceptance of Communism.

Why I have Endorsed President Trump

This is not subtle, nor the lesser of two evils ...

The prior administration of Donald Trump did not impose the “vaccine” mandates, but the Biden-Harris administration did.

Donald Trump's administration rejected the WHO. The Biden-Harris administration reinstated WHO funding and developed and promoted the WHO sovereignty-destroying “pandemic treaty” and “International Health Accord” updates.

The administration of Donald Trump did not deploy years of COVID-related psychological bioterrorism and disaster cronyism in the US and the world, but the Biden-Harris administration did.

The administration of Donald Trump did not conspire with and coerce corporate media and big tech to censor, propagandize, and deploy a myriad of military-grade psychological warfare methods and weapons on US citizens. The Biden-Harris administration did.

The administration of Donald Trump did not arbitrarily and capriciously abandon allies, advanced equipment and US Soldiers in Afghanistan. The Biden-Harris administration did.

The administration of Donald Trump did not prosecute, capitalize, and propagandize an unnecessary war in Ukraine to advance global imperialist objectives. The Biden-Harris administration did.

The administration of Donald Trump did not sacrifice and cripple European populations and industry at the alter of its Ukrainian fantasies. The Biden-Harris administration was complicit in blowing up the Nordstream pipelines and then deployed propaganda to prevent discussion or consequences for its illegal aggression.

The administration of Donald Trump took multiple specific actions to reduce illegal immigration. The Biden-Harris administration actively facilitated unlawful immigration.

The Trump administration did not jail domestic political opponents or otherwise weaponize the government and the judiciary. The Biden-Harris administration has honed that banana republic strategy into an art form.

The Trump administration did not actively pit Americans against Americans. The Biden-Harris administration cynically did so to gain a short-term advantage during a midterm election.

I can provide example after example to make this point.

This is my career suicide note, but it’s also a thank you from someone who is done with careerism. I’m a lifelong member of your party and I’m voting for Donald Trump. Why? It’s not just your industrial-scale censorship or your endless wars or the fact that you disenfranchised millions of Kennedy voters through lawfare. If that were all I had, it would be sufficient, in terms of conscience and rage, but there’s more to this story than anger. Your hatred and censorship has taught me to admire @realDonaldTrump and to love my fellow working-class Americans, and for that I thank you.

This vote is for all the traumatized people who have been canceled and banished just for saying no to the establishment. This vote is for the surveyor, the farmer, the HVAC man, the nurse, the hairstylist, the Deadhead, the veteran, and my fellow adjunct professors who have told me their stories about being bullied by the Democrats in their friends and family and their colleagues at work. This is for the young Black woman in my class last year who, on the day of Kamala Harris’s visit to campus, said, “You’re going to hate me, Dr. Armstrong, but I’m not going. I’m voting for Donald Trump.” Why would she think I would hate her for the way she votes? What has happened to our country?

Somehow, Donald Trump has changed my mind. Where I once saw a cartoon white supremacist, warmonger, and narcissist, I now see the man who renegotiated NAFTA and the only president in the twenty-first century not to start a new war. Where I once saw the pal of the neocons, I now see a man who has awoken from his slumber and disavowed Dick Cheney, George Bush, and John Bolton, even as my own party embraces these “men.”

Why has the greatest entrepreneur of my generation (@elonmusk) risked his career to side with Trump? Why has the most consequential grassroots environmentalist of my time (@RobertKennedyJr ) sacrificed friends, family, and reputation to side with “The Orange Menace?” Why has the most courageous peace activist of the twenty-first century (@TulsiGabbard) left our party? Because Tulsi, Bobby, and Elon see what I see. Donald Trump is resilient and he’s risking his life to change the fate of our nation. Trump is transforming the Republican Party into the party of peace, free speech, and the working-class. He has converted George Bush’s billionaire boys club of Big War, Big Ag, and Big Pharma into a party that cares about public health and embraces regenerative agriculture.

Now I don’t think the GOP is all the way there yet, but they’re clearly the party that embraces dissent, and dissent—brave speech—is the fuel for evolution. So, for the first time in my life, I’m voting Republican. In the name of peace in Ukraine and free speech here at home, I’m casting my vote, as a Kennedy Democrat, for Donald Trump.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: I feel so badly about what has happened because none of this would have happened.

There wouldn't have been a war in Ukraine.

There wouldn't have been an October 7 in Israel.

There wouldn't have been the most embarrassing day in the history of our country in Afghanistan, where we lost 13 soliders.

There wouldn't have been inflation.


He left out the most important one by far: There would not have been death jab mandates.

https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/genghis-trump


i think people are really misunderstanding the trump phenomenon.

they ask "how can you like this guy!?!"

but this is the wrong question.

the correct question is "do you want to burn the existing system to the ground and is this an appropriate agent of retribution to do it?”

and an awful lot of people have become awfully emphatic in their answers on this one because the preening, entitled arrogance of the most useless and unaccountable aristocrats in human history and the debacle upon debacle they ceaselessly beget have passed the point of tolerability. ...



... calling him hitler and felon and trying to arrest him and telling wild tales about his allegedly incipient military takeover but (especially in such conspicuously choreographed lockstep) such tactics will just trigger the immune system more intensely because such facile and self-serving fear mongering issuing forth from the mouths of an industrial talking point complex bent on preserving the destructive regime that trump would lay low does not ring the alarm about don, it rings the alarm about those seeking to thwart retributive goddesses and escape the furies who hound malefactors in her name. ...

"you need us to manipulate you harder, rule more, and censor speech because orange man fascist bad!" is going to go down as one of the worst pieces of political positioning in history because no one believes them and worse because the argument is projection. ...

this is not about trump.

it's about dismantling a machine under which no one wants to live anymore.

will the orange avatar succeed at this herculean task? perhaps. perhaps not. perhaps to some degree. but with him there is a chance and with kamala there is none.

no hope.

no joy.

only deeper into the morass that no one really wants, a precipice from which even her own backers now recoil.

it looks to me like her campaign is imploding and trump surging because the vote is really about this:

“do you want these people in power to keep harassing and haranguing you or do you want to take a chance that someone (however imperfect) might be able to do something about it?”
57   Ceffer   2024 Oct 26, 9:35pm  

Yeah, the educational part has been a bitch. I was more interested in the natural world than politics, but was dragged kicking and screaming into it by Trump and the schemes and backlashes surrounding him. Like many, I was force fed to acknowledge the 'elite' horrors. I have a collection of books now I never would have otherwise paid attention to.

I had explored some conspiracy theories when I felt like it but that was about it. I was not prepared for the level of monumental deception and the ouija control grids.

Strange thing is, I have come somewhat full circle with woo about theories of life, psychology, sociology and perception as a result aka back to a different perspective on the natural world that I would not have otherwise discovered.

Wife of Brett Weinstein:

https://naturalselections.substack.com/p/why-i-am-voting-for-trump


Eight years ago I couldn’t imagine that I would ever vote for Trump. Four years ago I considered it, but opted against, voting third party instead. This year I am voting for Trump.

There are many Americans who have followed a similar path.

Last week’s DarkHorse made a case for Trump. But I am still met with dismay and disbelief by some family and friends. Increasingly, what I hear is this:

“I understand that you can’t possibly vote for Kamala. But what are the reasons to vote for Trump?”

Here is one set of answers.

Trump is not owned.

Trump is not the nominee for the Republican Party of old, just as Kamala is not the nominee for the Democratic Party of old. ... Traditional power is scared, and it is concentrating in the modern Democratic party.

Trump doesn’t answer to the power brokers of either party. He is his own man, and he is WYSIWYG—What You See Is What You Get. This is part of what people don’t like about him—they don’t like his tone or his humor, his meandering or his jibes. I understand. I didn’t like any of that either, although I got over it. You know what he never is? Insincere. He is human, and he is willing to show us his humanness. I far prefer a president who is comfortable enough with himself to reveal that self to the American people, than someone who is always hiding behind prepared words and fictions.

Trump is taking counsel from truth-speaking patriots.

Among these is Bobby Kennedy, Jr, who was my preferred candidate for president. Kennedy left the race in August, and endorsed Trump. More important than that, Trump has embraced Kennedy, and we are told that Kennedy will be empowered in a Trump administration.

Kennedy sees the death grip that Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Ag have on the American people, and he has the capacity to address those problems. We have become a sick, out of shape, and confused people. ... Do not listen to the FDA, the USDA, or the CDC. Instead, eat animal proteins and fats, and produce that has been grown with as little chemical intervention as possible, savoring every single bit. And then do what is free and feels good. Go outside and face the sun. Walk. Form relationships. Touch people, and also grass and water and soil. Be barefoot under a night sky.

The FDA was supposed to oversee the safety of our food and our drugs; instead, they are in bed with big pharma. The CDC was supposed to help us stay healthy and avoid disease; instead, they too are in bed with big pharma, and run by useful idiots. The NIH and NSF are supposed to be overseeing the funding of science; instead they, too, are in bed with big pharma (note a trend?), and also so bolloxed up that they don’t know science when it hits them in the head. They are funding politicized garbage which often doesn’t meet the basic expectations of science. Covid revealed the rot in medical and pharmaceutical research, but the rot is everywhere. Politically popular answers are generated by power brokers behind the scenes, and then research is funded and conducted to arrive at those answers. This “science” is conclusion driven, rather than hypothesis driven, and is therefore not science at all. Actual science that arrives at different answers—atmospheric Carbon is not the only thing responsible for our changing planet; puberty blockers are not safe for children—is disappeared.

It is also true that, in the final year of his first term, as Covid became the thing that we were all focused on, Trump halted funding to the World Health Organization1. At the time, I thought this was yet another randomly batshit move of his. I was wrong. During Covid, the WHO revealed itself as an extra-governmental agency that seeks authority over people which nobody should have, ever. The United States should not be part of the WHO. Trump was right.

We need science back, real science, not feel good solutions that don’t help anyone. The Democrats think they are the party of science, but they are not. Trump, with Kennedy and his other advisors, will steer us in the right direction.

If you are a complete idiot, you vote for asshole socialist democrats who want to raise your taxes.
I'll vote for the devil himself before I vote to fuck myself with higher taxes.
Women generally have no clue about such issues so that is a problem because they vote.
If Trump wins, I'm throwing a small party which may have a small attendance.

Kill Tony, a comedian talking about Puerto Rico is a huge nothing burger. Puerto Ricans know their country is run like shit. Chicago has the largest Puerto Rican population in the Country so I knew/know quite a few. So what does that move? IL/Cook County is solid blue. Oh no.... you lost the Puerto Rican vote in Chicago.

If I call Kamala a nigger is Trump going to lose votes? No one outside the comedy world even knows who Tony is. They're all Trump voters anyway and know it was a joke. Has nothing to do with PA. No voter doing exit polling is going to say Tony's joke made them vote for Kamala. She's a cunt with no plan and can't run a lemonade stand.

Pretty sure my wife voted for Trump as well, though I know she didn't like Trump first time around.

What really changed her was the sudden death of her co-worker Danielle (healthy, 30's) shortly after getting the mRNA injection:

https://www.altamesafuneralhome.com/obituary/danielle-carmichael

The funeral was terribly sad, and they were forced to do it via Zoom, which is degrading in itself. She started mistrusting everything out of the CDC and the media after that. Once the media spell was broken, she was open to alternative thoughts.
