Right now, I’m going to summarize. I’ve given you a couple of days worth of reasons not to vote for Biden, one day of why you should vote for Trump, and today a reality check.
The press has spent four years disparaging the President. Initially they gave him all the time they could so as to destroy the “viable” republican candidates and pave the path for Hillary in 2016. But when it became clear he had something, and that was broad support, the lies started in earnest.
A man who had been treated as “too liberal” for republicans suddenly was a threat. Then he was a racist and a misogynist.
Now, I am actually literate. And when I read the things said about someone, I look up the context. The reality here is that Donald Trump was a civil rights benefactor for decades. He talked about criminals within a group, but never the whole group as being criminal. He didn’t want a ban on Muslims, but on people from countries with massive terrorism problems – which happened to be Muslim nations. There was no ban on people from other majority Muslim nations without a terrorism problem.
He didn’t call all Mexican’s rapists and thieves, but said (accurately) that there were rapists and thieves in among the people flooding illegally across the border.
He didn’t put “kids in cages” that was Obama and Biden.
He didn’t tear families apart at the border. They (like drunk drivers in your town with kids in the car) were breaking the law and separated for processing. If it was their kid, they were reunited. But given the human trafficking along the border, not every child was with a parent. And many were dumped by parents at the border so they could go deeper into the United States on their own. Tragic, but not done by Trump to hurt children. It was done to protect them from predators.
But, you say, he likes to grab women by the genitals. Go back and listen to the tape from that day. He said that being famous gives you the power to do things like that. Not that he did. Not that he had. But he rightly pointed out, in a crude way, that famous people get away with murder. But enough about Joe Scarborough.
The point is, that any complaint you have about Donald Trump and an unsavory/illegal activity, I can probably counter it with a fact that blows up your argument. I cannot defend him for being boorish. But that’s an opinion, not a crime. I rather like the fact that he’s so rich and arrogant that he doesn’t give a damn what his critics say. His tweets might create havoc, but they are also the only way he can get his truth out to the public. The media filters and twists all else he says.
So, go vote. But before you do, look in the mirror and ask yourself: “Do I want a known liar, racist, and crook like Biden, or a guy like Trump who works his ass off for me?”
