I am voting for Trump. I am not an eloquent writer like Karl, and am responding on the fly, rather than spending a couple days figuring out how to explain my feelings.

First, am I unhappy with him? Yes, very. For many of the reasons listed.

But to say he has done nothing is not looking at the big picture.

With regards to filling his cabinet with who he did? What political person, who has spent decades working within a specific system, would throw it all away on an outside disruptor? If I was an honorable person in government and I saw the witch hunt going on towards anyone who worked with Trump, I would not risk my career, income, family, reputation or retirement, working with this man. And how about those qualified people who might have a small skeleton in their closet? They certainly wouldnt risk it.

Next, someone mentioned Trump is losing voters or not gaining new voters. I am not seeing that. I might be mistaken. But most everyone who voted Trump in 2016, will do so again. Many never Trumpers who voted 3rd party or stayed home, have seen he didnt start ww3, he didnt start sexually assaulting his staff, he didnt force people into internment camps. So I think a good number of those people will vote for him this time. The independents and moderates in the Dem party are looking at the chaos that is going on right now, and they are freaking out. Many will stay home or will vote Trump. Because the alternative is unpalatable.

Let me say that again. The alternative is unpalatable. We are at war. One of the main things that Trump has done, has exposed the media, exposed hollywood, exposed the universities, exposed big tech to the masses. And his win in 2016 has driven them so crazy, they are destroying their cities, destroying their history, destroying their very freedoms.

And lets talk about the psychological effects of a Trump loss. The now fully exposed totalitarian left, and the institutions that promote and protect them (private and public) would be almost unstoppable. It will be over. You dont have to worry about a mob showing up at your home. You will fall in line or lose your job. Lose your credit. Lose your family. Lose your freedom. Lose your internet access. Lose your websites. Be deplatformed on every major outlet. And then we will enter several decades of ... fear? Mental slavery?

This election isnt about left vs right, repub vs democrat, nazis vs antifa. It is about mob rule vs individual liberties and rights.

These moral panics tend to burn themselves out in a couple years. We need to deprive the left of winning for as long as possible. If for no other reason than to give ourselves a little bit more time for those who do not already have their ducks in a row.

Someone mentioned USSC is still liberal. He cant just kill off the justices. RBG cant possible last 4 more years. He has also appointed 200 conservative federal judges as of this month. More than any president (i am pretty sure). In 8 years, obama appointed just over 300.

So yes, dh and I will vote for him again. If for no other reason than to say fuck you to the left. And this time around, my 2 eldest kids will be voting for him too. My son has already registered and daughter will be doing so next month.
