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.

Trump will un-burden us from what has been!

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?”

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.

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.

I have prepared my tax returns my entire life.
I prepared a couple for my father too.
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.
That's okay, I hate parties.

Rogan endorsed Trump tonight.

Do you think that will sway anyone? Especially this late? I hope so.

It was known for a while he would endorse. So probably doesn't move the needle. Kamala not going on Rogan was the bigger blow and Biden saying Trump supporters were trash was substantially worse for the Harris campaign.

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.

One of my favorite history classes in college. Puerto Rican History. They have pride for their country, but know it's a shit show and has been for 100 years plus.

Trump vote in. Keep 'em coming. I think he wins, but if you CA guys can help swing the popular vote there's no argument who won. I know you won't win the state and neither will I in IL, but it helps more than you'd think if we get the popular vote.
