Great post!
In 2016 I was a Ted Cruz supporter. Battling with the Trump crew here got me banned. It actually turned out to be a long suspension... I was pissed enough that I wasn’t about to *ask* to come back... then one day maybe a year later I just discovered that I had posting privileges again. I guess JimRob gave “blanket amnesty” and I’m glad I was included.
In 2016 I held my nose and voted Trump, hoping (as you say) he would actually be conservative and not a Rat-leaning opportunist. Like you, withdrawing from Paris Accords got my attention. Then I began to notice how, in spite of his raw edges, he just DID THE RIGHT THING. (Jerusalem embassy was indeed another example.) He had all the right enemies too; people I considered enemies of America.
My point is this: like J. D. Vance, I *repented* of my Trump doubts. That’s what repentence is: a profound realization that I WAS WRONG, coupled with a CHANGE IN THINKING AND BEHAVIOR. So I understand Vance’s change of heart and it does not concern me.
I am quite happy that President Trump picked J. D. Vance — smart, articulate, young, future-looking — to be his Vice President.
And of course I am HUNDRED PERCENT ALL IN on President Trump now. I see a very strong spiritual force at work in his life. He has been anointed by GOD “for a time such as this”. And if God be for you, who can be against you?
FRegards and Blessings
Excellent post, FRiend...we came in around the same time and have lots of great discourse here!
I was astonished at how well the Republicans did all this tonight. All of it.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the Leftists shot their bolt with Biden and their radical ideas were killed by the test of time, and Trump, in taking control of this party from the likes of Mich McConnel and Lindsey Graham, was able to bring back American values in the way Reagan did.
