@MrPicture...I've already stated in this forum months ago that I voted for Trump twice. I also outlined my personal reasons for doing so ( the grand majority of which relate to monetary policy). No matter how many tall buildings I bounded over from a flat-footed stance in describing said reasons, you'd never accept / acknowledge them; you'd make an attempt to skew them , twist them, mischaracterize them into something morphologically different than their original state and intent. So, you ( like many of your counterparts in this forum) label all conservatives as degenerates who should be ashamed... all the while not knowing their background, their lifelong and daily struggles that everybody experiences regardless of political persuasion, nor who they really are as a human. These differences between Dems and conservatives are inherent policy / ideologic separations at the outset which eventually morph into hard line personal insults and collated labeling. I get it..you don't agree with most tenets of the conservative profile. I give you that freedom to disagree. It's not very astute to blame an individual for mistakes committed by anybody else ( you blame me for his mistakes just by voting association?)..and Trump made a number of them. Who on this earth is without errors?
In a later thread in this very forum, I also denounced Trump's actions surrounding the Jan 6 situation. I won't vote for him again because of those particular actions..I stated so. So now have I reclaimed human form again with that declaration as far as you're concerned? Did I emerge from some purgatory abyss and recapture my 23 pairs of chromosomes in your eyes? You're not going to approve of whom I vote for next round regardless of who it might be..and that's just fine with me.
The fact that I identify with conservatives..what does that say about me in particular? Answer your own interrogatory for me...clue me in. There are very few solution-based discussions in this kitchen sink forum..and explains why I seldom participate. Carry on.
It indicates that you have a heightened fear response and are consequently resistant to change. That could have been exacerbated by your background/upbringing. It's a fundamentally flawed way of looking at the world, and in particular doesn't mesh with modern society, but it's not like you're alone in your ideology.
Re the Orange Pusbag: it was evident from the day he threw his hat in the ring that this man is a crass asshole and not remotely fit for public office. That should have overridden any considerations of ideology or party affiliation. If you voted for him, you sold your soul, and I'm sure you had some wonderful-sounding justification for it--all Trumpers do.And in case you're wondering, if he had decided to put on a Democrat hat and run for President, I would have voted Repuublican.
And as I'm sure you're at least sort of aware, Trump is no more a Republican than he is a Martian. It's just the gang he calculated would be better for him to join. That's why the ideological fealty excuse rings so hollow. Trump actually shat on everything the Republican party allegedly stood for.
So I'm afraid I really can't respect anyone who observed this piece of shit's behavior and voted for him anyway--especially the second time. A craving for novelty or a desire to shake up the status quo might sort of excuse the first.
So why are you a conservative Trumper? Your brain is abnormal (albeit with a quite common condition) and you are an extremely poor judge of character. And denouncing the insurrection doesn't score you any points--any decent American should do that, it's like denouncing the Holocaust.
(Which makes it truly horrifying that so many people actually support it, but that's another issue.)
