I wish that everyone who voted for Trump out of ignorance and, hard as it is for me to say this, "good faith" had a candidate that stood for the particular issues they care about, instead of this seditious buffoon. I'm sure I'd still disagree and vote against this candidate, but at least then we'd restore some dignity to our politics.
Even if I had allowed myself to be hoodwinked into thinking Trump cared about the things I care about (like free speech and dismantling the system - but if you think a Republican regime with Trump at its helm is going to serve your interests, then you're dangerously naive), I still wouldn't support him for office of the president. He's a global embarrassment to our country. The only thing more embarrassing is that a majority of "we, the people" are dumb enough to throw their MAGA hats into his ring.
You don't have to put on Jackboots to be a Nazi. Handing power to the party is enough. Hell, stepping aside and letting them march in the streets is tantamount to support. I spent 18 years of my adult life believing that engaging in partisan politics was pointless. So believe me, I get it. But for those 14 million of you (only half of which would have been enough to defeat Trump) who thought, "Harris isn't great, might as well be Trump" - you're not paying attention. And the cost of freedom is eternal vigilance.
We've always had a "lesser evil" system of governance. And it's made little difference which brand of evil rises to the top. But if you can't recognize an omega level threat when it comes along, then you deserve what you're all about to get. I just wish you hadn't thrown the rest of us under the bus.
