A Democrat’s Journey
American Thinker.com ^ | November 12, 2020 | Donald L. Buresh

When I was young, and my father was living, he proclaimed that he was a Democrat because the Democratic Party was for the working man, as he used to say. He was proud to be a working man. I admired him for that.

My father was a printer, a skilled tradesman who believed that one could better themselves by working hard. And like my father before me, I, too, believe by working hard and smart one can achieve anything.

In this election season, I saw hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people, go to Trump rallies. I did not understand why people flocked to him. It seemed that he was their voice, speaking to a world that would not listen to them. To find out more, I attended the Trump rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Monday, November 02, 2020. I wanted to find out who these people were who went to the Trump rallies.

I drove up to Wisconsin. After parking my car, there were cars scattered everywhere. There must have been about 10,000 cars or more. I walked to get a ride on one of the many buses. The lines were about a half-mile long. As I walked to the end of the line, one of the buses stopped near me. I got on that bus. I was lucky.

When arriving at the Kenosha airport, thousands of people were already moving toward where Trump would speak. There were two lines, one line on each side of the gate. Each line was about a quarter-mile long. After 30 minutes, I made it to the gate, traversing a maze of portable white fences, slowly making my way forward to the metal detectors. My feet were killing me.

The Democrat Party is being run by nations hostile to The United States.

I grew up in a strong union and Democrat Party family.

They had to work hard to chase me away, but they did it.

I really dislike unions and the Democrat Party.

They caused this themselves.

My Dad was a printer too. He was a Union man and he always voted Democrat. He said it was because “The Democrats are for the little guy”. Dad was born in 1917 and came of age during the Depression so I guess it is understandable.
