Not American and not a Trump supporter by far but:

Disgust with the democratic party, I think. Which I can understand. If I was American, I still wouldn't vote Trump, but I wouldn't vote for Biden either. To be honest I'd probably not vote period, as much as people make it sound like doing so makes you evil. I just cannot support what either of them stands for. I don't personally see why someone would go as far to vote for Trump just to avoid Biden alone, but... I can kind of get it, I guess. When you only have two options, and both those options are dogshit terrible, and your society will tear you apart for not voting and insist that if something goes wrong, it's on YOU, an INDIVIDUAL, for not personally voting - of course you've got to pick what you feel is "the lesser of two evils."

That's hardly an American thing, though. I don't feel like any party in any country is the "right" choice. Voting is like being asked what kind of dystopia you want to live in. Do you want to live in a "traditionalist", racist and sexist, heavily Christian influenced, poor-hating dystopia? Or would you rather live in a dystopia full of intangible "gender identity" religion, a different kind of sexism and racism, and the government spending time and money over meaningless concepts like "gender" than anything important?

I also personally haven't seen Trump being anti-gay...? He's a sexist, racist moron with less competence than a child having a tantrum, but I don't recall him ever specifically targeting homosexuals.

I agree with you on the voting. It works if there are parties that are sensible and actually win the election. But right now, here in Ireland, it’s useless. We had an election last February and now we have the most authoritarian government since independence. Plus, people are sheep. Most people believe what the legacy media says. Ireland’s public broadcaster, RTÉ has become the propaganda machinery of the government. And if you own a television in Ireland, you have to pay a license, most of which goes to RTÉ, otherwise you get fined thousands of euros. Most of the rest of our media is owned by Denis O'Brien, who is also in favour of authoritarianism and has sued people who have criticised him. So it’s hard to wake Irish people up.

However, there is a solution. Tightly knit communities. A strong community can stand up to governments and corporations. Befriend your neighbours, buy locally, no phones at the table, organise get together with communities and talk to your family and extended family.

Same feeling here in France. Fortunately the extremists don't seem to benefit from the chaos too much but damn.

The political landscape is scary these days. It's hard to look ahead.
