Voting for Trump doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person, but you have horrible judgment.

That is wrong to do, did you know?

Democrats say they are "at war" because of the dismantling of non-democratically accountable bureaucracy, while Trump protected women.

And yet, even with all this tumult, comes the news that Trump, while still the most unpopular president ever, or at least since 1953 when such measures started being taken, has attained his highest favorability rating. Leaving me with some existential questions like: Who am I? Who are half these people I call countrymen? What alternative universe do they reside in, and is there any chance we could make them stay there, then build a wall and make the aliens pay for it? They often remind me of those stories we’d read during the worst of COVID, when patients who had been propagandized to within an inch of their lives after being told by their conspiracy-slingers of choice that it was all some giant hoax, would be in the ICU on respirators, their lungs failing, arguing with their doctors on their deathbeds that surely they don’t have COVID, since it doesn’t even exist.

If it were Trump or not, you might have a point.

But, it was Trump or Harris, and the choice was very clear for people who don't want to encourage the mutilation of genitalia of children, imprisonment of conservative protestors while allowing liberal protesters to run amok, corrupting the justice and intelligence systems to go after political opponents, among other issues Harris was on the wrong side of.

Perhaps Harris was the right call for people driven by their emotions. But, Trump was the right call for people driven by their intellects.
