Who cares? Why is this news? We all know dickbag republicans are gonna vote for trump no matter what. And really, they can say they'll vote for whomever and we have to take them at their word because we can't prove otherwise. So again, who cares?
The craziest thing about the whole Trump thing to me is that a re-election is even on the table.
Like american politics are usually kinda predictable. When Donnie got elected, i assumed that he's gonna do such an embarrassingly bad job, that after a year or two, pretty much everyone would just shrug and go: well i don't know how he got elected, i didn't vote for that baffoon. And then the new president comes around and he would disappear in obscurity as one of these weird things that happens because haha americans dumb.
But somehow, after seeing for 4 years what a bang up job he did and is still doing, he's still in the race for being president. It's one of these things that i just can not comprehend. I can't watch a single clip of him that makes me believe that he is an actual real person and not some cartoon villain.
To me that is the real story when i see these posts, not the whole x voting for y.
I despise the options we have this time around, not so unlike previous times around. And I know how unpopular this will be on lemmy.world. But if my choices are Biden and Trump, I am voting Trump. Also, screaming at me how stupid I am is not going to change what I just said.
Hope you're a rich, white, straight, Christian male with no health issues or disabilities. Because a Trump presidency is going to be awful for literally everyone else.
It'll be awful for them too when Trump insists that climate change is a hoax as their pale white grandma becomes the ghostly anachronism she appears to be.
Don't waste your time. He values hierarchy and emotions, not words or policies. Words are just excuses for conservatives. They will never be convinced by them.
Original conservatives were not fighting for George Washington in the American Revolution. They were Loyalists, Monarchists. They fought against change. All the eloquent words of the Founding Fathers didn't convince them because they didn't care about words.
Conservativism is literally anti-American. Don't use words. Vote. Convince other liberals to vote. Volunteer for a candidate that you like and support their candidacy in the primary.
I agree! People tell me that Trump stole US American Top Secret Intelligence and used his Position of Power to Enrich himself and his family and Stole the Middle Classes Wealth to give to his rich buddies and wants to criminalize Pregnancy while allowing Rapists (Priests) in Schools but I see NO REASON why I shouldn't vote for him!
I trawled through your profile a bit, enough to see that you're reasonably well meaning, but both steeped in biased propaganda and having issues from the many broken systems in the US.
My question however is how you believe that Trump will make your life better?
From my perspective (from Europe), you're exactly the type of person Trump loves grifting off of. Last time he did a lot of killing off lower middle class jobs, plundering your workers rights, protections and wages, mismanaging or dismantling support systems like healthcare, infrastructure, disaster readiness, while also increasing taxes on you. Oh, and also bumbled through the pandemic and disaster responses causing more than a million unnecessary deaths.
He also openly broke the law, got very questionable payments coinciding with odd policy changes, and leaked/sold national secrets not only betraying the institutions, but the nation itself.
He's also a known adulterer, liar, slanderer, prideful cheat.
So that would seem to disqualify him as a good pick for either policy, statesmanship, patriotism, or moral reasons.
The only remaining reason then seems to be feelings, no?
Feel free to tell me what Trump does better than Biden, for your life and/or for the nation, or whatever other perspective is more important for you.
There was a part of me that held out hope that she would at a minimum just not endorse Trump. Seems like she's decided to try to be his VP pick. Probably since Noem the dog slayer became unrealistic.
Indeed with Haley endorsing Trump now I think all the Trump cosplay idiots who've been showing up to court in Manhattan can hang it up.
