Just like in 2016, I'm voting against Democrats. Whether you believe it or not Trump has never been my first choice for President. I voted Ted Cruz in the 2016 Republican primary, had no choice in the 2020 primary and by the time the 2024 primary came around Trump was already the landslide Republican nominee.
I defend Trump because I see how Democrats, legacy media and the anti Trumpers dishonestly distort his comments and have IMO perverted our judicial system to try and punish him for having the audacity to oppose the Washington Establishment. I also agree with many of his policies and believe he is trying to do the right thing. I will never agree 100% with any President but you have to take the bad with the good. Unlike you I do not expect perfection out of politicians as perfection does not exist.
Yes I am proud to support most any Republican Presidential candidate against any Democrat. IMO Democrats are the greatest threat to freedom, prosperity and the security of this nation. I didn't always have this belief but after seeing how the Democrat Party changed with the election of Obama they dropped the disguise and showed their true Socialist authoritarian desires.
Whether I like it or not there are only two real choices in our elections. One of big government. government interference and government control or one of less government, less regulations and less control. I will choose less government every single time. IMO not voting or voting for candidates that stand no chance is a vote for more government, more government intervention and more government control simply because those votes are not voting against Big Government. And yes I understand Republicans are not the greatest but they are head and shoulders above the Democrat Party.
