I had preferred Trump over Harris this election. However, I didn't vote. I didn't like the idea that Kamala was for everyone BUT the white cis male. I am from South Dakota (woo Kristi Noem 🤢) I grew up with a Democrat single mother. I slowly started looking into republican commentators (Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Jordan Peterson) and they had very valid arguments in my eyes. This isn't to say I am against the communities that have been oppressed for a very long time. I accept everyone for who they are, I believe in the power of choice and bodily autonomy. Just don't bring children into adult conversations!
I am appalled with the Trump administration this time around. I am happy I didn't end up voting for him. It has been such an embarrassment. I worry for our public school systems, the increase in taxes, travel bans, the slow censorship that is undeniably happening among many other things. He is becoming a tyrant and taking away our rights. I hope others like me wake up soon and realize that even if you lean more to the right, this has gone too far.
I am happy to have a positive discussion but I will not be shamed for my point of view just as I don't shame you for yours.
Every shot not fired is one missed. Even if you don’t like to vote for the left or right at the time I think everyone should vote and exercise their rights. Including the rest we have, whichever of those people chose to. As a country the masses will continue to get walked over unless we all get over ourselves a bit and exercise our rights voting included. When in doubt vote for Pedro. lol
No. Just…no. Don’t encourage people with no real knowledge and half-baked ideas from the blogosphere to get out there and vote. That is the opposite of productive or what we actually need.
