An Ex-Democrat's Case for Trump
Substack ^ | December 23, 2023 | Sasha Stone

Posted on 12/24/2023 8:11:28 AM PST by freddy005

“Are you a Trump supporter now?” is the question my friends, acquaintances, and colleagues sometimes ask me. I know the answer to that question could end our relationship. So do they. Most of the time, they just don’t ask. They quietly assume that I might be, but what they don’t know can’t hurt them.

Since 2016, being labeled “Trump supporter,” has given most people the green light to cut ties, publicly humiliate, attack, and dehumanize at will. What you will rarely see on the Left is empathy. What has become all too common is unfiltered, bottomless hatred. In too many cases, physical violence, and destructive protests, all justified and encouraged by the ruling class.

2020 was the breaking point for me. I could no longer go along with it, especially after getting to know Trump supporters, and watching enough rallies to know the truth about who Trump really is.

And now, after the Colorado decision to throw Trump off the ballot, there has been a terrifying escalation in how they plan to deal with Trump and MAGA. What started as “cancel culture,” where due process was tossed in favor of trial by mob has spread to the government, infecting it like a parasitic fungus that ultimately kills its host.

From censorship to their treatment of the political protesters of January 6th, to what they’ve done to this country’s Justice Department, much of its culture, its universities, and the minds and bodies of children, it’s time to say ENOUGH.

A 55% victory for us would be a landslide. Would the other 45% learn anything? If so it’s that they only fell short 6%. That’s one out of 16.

Welcome aboard the train Sasha, and praise for your awakening. Also notice that it has been extremely hard to remain non violent in the face of all that taken place to malign & demonize those who support the MAGA movement. But that will not be contained if they are allowed to continue getting away with the subversion of this nation. Because the nation is worth fighting for.

When that dam breaks, and I pray heavily that it does not come to that breaking point, it will be much worse than the first Civil War this nation engaged in over the issue of slavery.

Do not worry about losing these people you consider as friends, because they are obviously not "friends" at all, because you no longer share their beliefs thus they reject you. Think of it as an opportunity to make new acquaintances with the possibility of some becoming new friends. But the important thing is to save this nation and return it to a nation that was built upon the belief of a creator, where the majority of people share that belief. Because that was what made this nation unique in the first place, and was allowed to rise as a leader among the nations. Without that belief, we lose that uniqueness.

Perhaps “most people “in certain leftist areas of the country or in some leftist social circles, but definitely not the majority of people.

The question isn’t if people support Donald Trump, and herein lies the issue with every leftist. They believe that we have to see Donald Trump and ignore his flaws. While we are all flawed, we may not all support Donald Trump the individuals. The leftist are actually cultists, clinging to the personality of the leader. Many still cling to Barry Obama or Hillary Clinton, bu questioned independently do not agree with these candidates policies. Biden is so unpopular, that they can no longer cling, so the spout Trump hatred.

What the left doesn’t get is that I support Donald Trumps economic and border policies. I support his anti war concepts, his commitment to force Allie’s to pay a fair share. I support building US industries and jobs as a fundamental portion of a strong an independent economy. I support energy, in all forms, for production and economic growth. I support a border, and elimination of illegals that are here costing taxpayer 2 trillion a year. I can support all these things, and still see Trump as flawed. Biden, Obama, Hillary, support none of these concepts and are just flawed.

What politician isn’t flawed? Trump’s flaws are minutiae, in the grand scheme of things.

That Trump dared to go at the King with the birther lie was what began our cold Civil War.

It was actually Hillary Clinton who did that first.

Absolutely nothing, that's why I pray it's not forth-coming, but something tells me they are praying for it. 😋

I would say Obama, Hillary, et al, are far more flawed.
