The 2024 election has been a cornucopia of lies and deceit. Sorting through the noise is only possible if you do the work to dig out the truth. Over the past 6 months I have been asked what motivates Trump voters while at the same time I have tried to understand the democrats. I have clarity.
In explaining Trump followers I have told leftists that we are “common sense” people and we are focused on policy. In my survey of Harris supporters I have been told “we need to pass the torch to the next generation”, “Trump creates chaos”, “Trump will make abortion illegal”, “Trump is racist”, “Trump is crude”. Abortion being the only policy issue ever mentioned but unfortunately it is based on a left wing lie, Trump supports abortion during the 1st and 2nd trimester, not the 3rd.
Leftists often come to me as their token conservative for calibration, or more specifically to validate their leftist positions. I have decided to reject their future approaches because their questions are not about intellectual curiosity. They are not interested in the facts or the truth. For many years I have been flummoxed by the juxtaposition of having very intelligent friends who are unable to see facts in their face. I have concluded their intelligence if narrowly focused around their life craft and lack intellectual curiosity outside their area of expertise. They are “specialists” and not renaissance men & women. In addition they are incredibly naive with respect to the existence of evil and corruption. They dismiss corruption as incompetency.
The facts are out there. It is so tempting to enumerate the political corruption. To try and “educate” the uniformed leftists. But they have done noting to earn my candor. Do your own fucking research. I am done with you.
Switching gears, there is an important distinction between Trump and Harris worth pointing out. The left hates Trump for the nicknames he uses on his opponents. But Trump limits the pejoratives to individual people while the left repeatedly paints ALL conservatives with the biggest and ugliest pejoratives imaginable and they’ve been doing it for decades. The media of course amplifies everything the left says. Its pathetic.
When Trump wins, I predict the left will explode with physical violence. They will do whatever they can to remove him from office. Nothing will be off the table.
