For the first time in my life, I'm voting for a Republican...so yes.
I agree with a lot of Trump's policies, given that despite the platform he's FAR more of a Liberal than most who now occupy the 'left', including shrinking federal oversight and giving states more reach-of-arm to policy themselves. I am also for law and order, I approve of his policies regarding transgenders in the military, and while I don't like his foreign policy or his business bailouts I VERY MUCH appreciate his hard-line stance against the corruption growing within the Democrat party. I was firmly against him in 2016, but I liked Hillary even less, so I didn't vote...but now, given the counter-culture he is battling against, not to mention the absolute INSANITY of the constant baseless allegations against him, he seems like our best bet.

Given WHO keeps levering these charges and accusations against him, some of the most powerful and corrupt old-money families in the world, it seems to me that whatever he is doing is putting us in the right direction. I reject globalism and communism, I reject the bullshit 'climate change' scare tactics ( as do a vast number of actual climate experts ), I reject identity politics....for all his faults, and yes he has quite a few, Trump seems like the best candidate for me.

I put up with the Warmongering Bush's, the rapist Clinton and the liar Obama, I can handle a narcissistic asshole with a Twitter fetish as long as he gets the job done.

So him basically advocating to defund Social Security doesn't bother you?

His and the GOP COVID handout to big corporations rather than small businesses and Americans doesn't bother you?

His tax cuts that proportionately benefited corporations and the 0.1% but will eventually leave our economy in shambles doesn't bother you?

BTW: we are still recovering from Reganomics and George the IIs tax cuts to the very wealthy. Although, the word "recovered" probably isn't the right word. "Suffering from" is better.

And I hate the Democrats too, but occasionally they'll do something about healthcare or the environment.

I swear, Americans don't deserve America.

No, none of that bothers me, because it's all hyper-partisan posturing and 'what ifs'. I don't deal in 'what ifs', I deal in facts.
I've already stated my thoughts on Trump's business bailouts, even though with the current stimulus it's not him or the Republicans trying to pad that bill with bailout money but rather the Democrats, and you're so far off-base about his stance on social security I don't know what to do other than point you towards actual research instead of relying on the biased media to fund your talking points.

However, Americans are the ONLY people who deserve 'America'. We own it, the good and the bad, especially nowadays given that we are the last bastion of true freedom left in the world.

I feel like I understand and agree with a lot of what you are saying but climate change (healthcare a close second) is my #1 issue so I am very torn. I wish voting independent or green was a viable option. Unfortunately even with Biden in I dont think it will be enough. This election has me super depressed and never have I questioned my political alignments this much in my entire life.

I fucking feel this. I didn't think being politically homeless would be on my list of shit to deal with this year.
