Last time I did the same thing, voted AGAINST Obama. I knew he would be worse the second term and of course he was. I defended myself big time against the people here insisting I not vote a GOPe Romney and truly felt my principles were right.
Sometime this last winter I changed. I had a full visual of how 2016 was going to play out. Hillary vs. Jeb or another GOPe candidate. Inside me I just felt done, and I finally understood everyone from last time who said better to have a socialist country destroyer in office than keeping the GOPes alive. I despise Hillary Clinton. I know what she has done. I know what she is capable of.
But I see our country off the precipice already, I see her reaching for the Constitution hanging on a cliff side vine and I’m not sure the parchment can still save her. We cannot keep playing the Kabuki theater of GOPe vs. socialist, when really it’s just changing the wallpaper on the statist control. I was ready for President Hillary (or sanders) because I was not going to vote GOPe to stop her. Sure, I’d throw money and my mouth at Cruz. But he didn’t look like he had a chance and the media gunned for him so well that every lib I saw thought he was a crazy nut job already.
Trump is the anti-statist. He’s already driven some pointy sticks into the powers that be in Washington and the media. He’s achieving successes simply by saying what others fear to say. I wake up each day happy at what he’s done. At first I just was glad he was shaking things up in the campaign, pushing the other guys to get more honest. Now, though, I wonder if it wouldn’t be doing the country a huge favor by having him President for four years. It sure beats Hillary.
Voting "against" was only intent. The action was to vote for something. Please, I beg you -- own what you voted for. Voting "against" is an illusion that tricks you into voting for what you hate.
