Why Would I Vote for Trump?

 

So, why would I, a 74 year old white woman, vote for Trump? The media seems at a loss to explain it. 

I know Democrats want to claim that Trump voters are poor, white, and uneducated...pretty much as Jody Powell, Jimmy Carter's press secretary wrote, "politics of the powerless". There are many Trump supporters who the Biden/Harris presidency have relegated to that category of "powerless" by their economic policies and their reluctance to enforce our laws, preferring to incarcerate with no justice those who oppose their policies. Apparently the Democrats believe Trump supporters are, as Hillary Clinton said, "a basket of deplorables." 

They claim the high ground. 

As a college educated woman, with a Masters degree, I find this offensive. 

I watched as our president, Donald Trump, and the people of his administration were persecuted by those egged on by Democrats, becoming unable to even go to a restaurant in Washington. I watched as Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi led a coup along with CIA and FBI. 

And I could do nothing.

I see goods and food becoming more expensive because America's oil that made us independent on the world stage was curtailed so we became dependent on expensive Middle East oil to run tractors that plow our fields and fuel the trucks that bring that produce to market. 

Our sons and daughters are sent to war in foreign lands. Our friends and fellow Americans in war zones get abandoned with reckless disdain. 

And I watch with no power. 

I see Biden's son selling access to the Chinese and the Ukrainians with Biden and others in the Biden family also being recipients of these deals. And I can only watch with amazement. 

I listen to broadcast media spout their venom while pretending to be objective reporters and feel their contempt. 

I see our children being exposed to the Woke agendas under the guise of conflict resolution and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and realize the influence of the Democrat dominated National Education Association, the Department of Education, and the Colleges of Education throughout our country. 

Under the label of "WOKE", we see children being mutilated before they are truly at the age of consent and have no ability to comprehend the true consequences of accepting gender as a choice.  

As a mother and grandmother, my heart aches. 

We see people punished for not falling for the foolishness of deciding your pronouns. And I see thought police alive and well. 

Because our borders are no longer defended under this administration, with Kamala being the "border czar", murderers, sex, child trade and drug cabals, as well as terrorists from around the world have free access into our country to be treated to free health care, education, and housing, while tax paying Americans are left lacking. 

And then, I hear Kamala tell Christian men in her audience that they are in the wrong rally because they shouted "Jesus is Lord," "Christ is King". 

It is little wonder Trump supporters see Trump as the last, best hope of saving all that has traditionally been what made America a "city on a hill". John Winthrop warned his fellow Puritans when he said that their new community would be watched by the world and that their sins and errors would be exposed if they failed to uphold their covenant with God. 

Yet, here is this courageous man willing to stand against the these things and all he asked of me was my vote.

What do I know? The same persecution that was applied to the duly elected president of the United States and his administration could also be leveled against all of us. Then they will come for me. 

For those who dismiss our Republic as one of our greatest assets, let me remind them that the definition of "democracy" can be defined as "two foxes and a chicken deciding what's for dinner." Too often throughout history we have seen "democracies" devolve as "strong men" take charge and what is left?

And then who will stand for me?

 And that is why I voted for Trump.
