In a sane world, the last four years (or even the events of
the last few weeks!) should ensure a landslide victory for Donald Trump.
Instead the polls say this could be one of the closest races in our history!
Sadly, I fear the pollsters may be right. If Democrats could round up 82
million ballots (not votes) for a sleepy old man in his basement, I have no
doubt that a Harris win is possible. I just don’t understand why anyone would
vote for Harris/Walz. These are the only reasons I could come up with.
1. You hate Donald Trump more than you love your
country.
Don’t doubt me when I say that this is the scary voting block
that can create a Harris/Walz victory. Let’s be honest. Donald Trump won the
2016 election because there were huge numbers of people (myself included) who
voted not FOR Trump, but AGAINST Hillary Clinton. In 2020, after
four years of nonstop attacks by the media, there were tons who voted not FOR Joe Biden, but AGAINST Trump. The Democrats are counting on the same thing
happening again. There are many voters who do not like Kamala Harris or her
policies, but are perfectly willing to vote for her, because of their rabid hatred
of her opponent.
The problem is that electing Harris/Walz could be very bad
for our country. This is NOT a
popularity contest. Voters from both parties generally agree that the key
issues involved in this election are the economy, immigration, foreign policy,
and abortion. If you hate Trump so much that you are willing to endure four more
years of rampant inflation (higher prices on everything!), a wide open border
(including a flood of criminals and drugs), wars around the globe (paid for by
your tax dollars), and the continued slaughter of our most innocent, then you
would have a hard time convincing me that you love America.
2. You really do believe that she will fix the
economy, the border, and our foreign policy.
If this is your position, I question your grasp on the
facts. Harris has a clear track record. Both Biden and Harris have repeatedly asserted
that she has been actively involved and in agreement with ALL of the “accomplishments” of the previous administration. She
recently said she could not think of anything she would have done differently!
As a candidate, she can continue to insist that all of the problems of the last
four years are Trump’s fault, and she can keep on insisting that things are
better now than they were four years ago, but the numbers don’t lie.
Inflation skyrocketed while they joyfully proclaimed that
Bidenomics was working! Illegal immigration is at an all-time high, and recent
reports from ICE reveal that massive numbers of illegal immigrants with
criminal records (including more than 13K murderers and 15K rapists) have been
released into our country by this administration. Human trafficking and drugs
are out of control due to the Biden/Harris open border policies. Meanwhile,
countless American citizens are suffering while we continue to send billions to
support other countries’ wars. Do you really believe that Harris can fix these
problems? She talks a lot about what she will do on Day 1, but the reality is
that she has been in office for almost four years already with little evidence
to show that she cares about fixing any of these issues.
3. You believe in abortion, even late term
abortions, as a right that should be federally protected.
Harris (and Walz) insist that Trump plans to institute a
federal ban on all abortions, despite the fact that he has never said this and
has repeatedly denied it. Harris and the Democrats are willing to revise
Congressional rules (eliminating the filibuster) and completely change the
Supreme Court if necessary to get their way. Based on current California and
Minnesota law, their way is clear. Those are two of the fourteen states that
place no restrictions on abortions all the way up to the moment of birth!
If you believe that abortion is healthcare (and that the
mother’s rights count more than the baby’s right to life), then go ahead and
vote for her, but understand that you are also condoning not just the killing
of innocent children, but you are also ignoring the problems previously
mentioned. More than just one issue is at stake.
4. You don’t care about the first amendment,
or the second. Or the Constitution in general.
Harris is already openly calling for increased censorship of
social media. Liberals love to label any opposition as disinformation,
misinformation, malinformation, or whatever new terms they can invent to avoid
having any civil discussion with those who do not agree with them. I’m sorry,
but our country was founded on the belief that all citizens should have the right to speak freely and voice their
honest opinions. Giving government the power to control speech is a really bad
idea.
As far as the second amendment goes, I believe in reasonable
regulations and laws, but I am decidedly against
the banning of weapons by the politicians who invariably surround themselves
with armed guards. Hypocrisy much? And leave the Supreme Court and the rest of
the constitution alone. It works. Stop messing with it!
5. You are impressed and/or influenced by all
the celebrity endorsements.
Do you really think all the millionaire actors, singers, and
athletes care about the cost of gas or groceries? Or houses? Or electric cars? Or
the problems of the average U.S. citizen? Do you think any of these people ever
buy their own gas or go to the grocery store for themselves? Not likely. Funny
how all these rich people love the party that continues to say that the wealthy
are the problem.
Maybe you’re just hyped about electing the first woman of
color. Again, is it worth it considering everything else that would come with a
Harris/Walz win?
6. You don’t care about election integrity.
Forget COVID and all the mail-in ballots from God knows
where. Let people go to the polls (and show some ID) and elect our leaders in a
fair and open way. Non-citizens should not be voting in elections. If you want
to vote and have a voice in our government, then become a legal US citizen.
There actually is a process of legal immigration in America.
7. You really love a good word salad!
Honestly, when choosing someone to represent our entire
country on the world stage, who is the most embarrassing figure? Bad orange
man? Bumbling, stumbling, cognitively impaired old man? Or the woman babbling
incoherently interspersed with cackling, inappropriate laughter? I know which
one makes me cringe. Can you imagine four years of President Harris?
8. You honestly, believe she is the best
person for the job.
I respectfully disagree, but at least you would be voting
for a truly valid reason. I don’t know what the future holds, but I pray that
whoever wins, the media will dial back the hateful rhetoric.
