The Trump resistance amplifies Trump far beyond what Trump can do for himself. From the court rooms, to the FBI HQ, do the news rooms, to the halls of congress, to K street, to the big tech executive suites, to the Oval Office, Trump has been made larger than life itself. Nothing like that in our history. Blaming Trump for all of this is just crazy. Mention Trump and people loose their minds.
I have never understood the isolationist gripe. Opposing being sucked into the war of attrition in Ukraine is not Isolationist. Trump was very aggressive with Iran and conspicuous in his support for Israel. (He moved the embassy! Remember). He understood the use of energy and economic power as foreign policy. That is not isolationist and I wholeheartedly support that. If it has to be Trump to accomplish those things, so be it.
I don’t understand why Republicans have made MAGA into a pejorative. That’s straight out of Biden/Media/Liberal/ playbook and it sad to see the GOP fall for that. MAGA is by no means original with Trump, Clinton used it, as well as others. 70% of us think America is on the wrong track and Biden put us there. MAGA is a great slogan for that circumstance.
I’m MAGA and I am not ashamed to say so. FWIW, I think Lincoln’s message in the Gettysburg Address is all about MAGA.
Disagree with this too. I find fault with political elites as much as anybody. But they don’t pick candidates, voters do. I don’t like Trump at all, but he is the candidate. People who stayed home because they saw Romney and McCain as some kind of elite are as bad as those who vote for trump because he is an asshole. .
Party ideology matters. It matters now more than ever. Trump is solidly mainstream Republican and Biden is a solid empty suit run by Democrat loons. . I’m voting Trump. As Bill Barr said, I’d rather play Russian roulette than commit suicide.
