In the 20 or so years I’ve been here, I’ve seen you post pretty intelligent things and I’ve always respected your opinion, so I am sincerely curious what the bottom line is for you on that. I don’t want to get in to a debate that devolves into what typically happens here, so I’ll just hear your answer (if you give it) and move on. I look at what I see as an attack on democracy itself - sowing distrust in our intelligence community, distrust in elections, siding with enemies while pissing off allies, etc…on the economy he was deficit spending and furthering the economic disparity we have prior to covid, which he then politicized and made worse than it should have been.
I have to ask what you see in the guy…
That makes two of us. I'm genuinely curious how/why you see it as a preference given the two options. And especially given the very fair and accurate description I made of him earlier in this thread that you seem to have agreed with. "Stipulate" I think was the word you used.
Jeez guys. I could be typing for a while...
In simple terms it is the lesser of two evils. I do not believe half the sensational accusations and scare stories about Trump and I do believe Biden is a tool of the Dem machine which I most certainly do not trust.
These things I know:
Russia was goaded into their advanced Ukraine adventure in response to US backed NATO expansion talks during the Biden regime.
Hamas, with financing and encouragement from an emboldened and newly flush with cash Iran (thanks to the dem push for a mid-east realignment and elimination of sanctions) committed atrocities in an assault on Israeli civilians en masse during the Biden regime.
The number of
illegal immigrants flooding the southern US border has increased exponentially and the number residing here doubled during the Biden regime.
The attack on first amendment rights, embodied by government influence and "suggestions" for censorship of dissenting views to social media outlets has become rampant and institutionalized during the Biden regime.
None of these things were happening under Trump. There has never been a President whom the entrenched bureaucracy, opposition party, media, intelligence services and whoever all else has jumped on the bandwagon, has attacked so thoroughly, accused so adamantly, indicted so prodigiously as The Orange One. Why is that? What did he do that was so terrible that we need to pull out all the stops to keep him from even running again? I don't think the country was doing so poorly with him in the big seat. I am more apprehensive about the world situation now under Biden and the Machine than I was under Trump.
So there you have my reasoning. Of course all of these topics could have threads of their own. I am happy to discuss any and all. Your opinions will be respected by me whether I agree or not I only ask for the same consideration.
