As an Asian American Republican in Southern California, I also couldn’t pull the trigger for Trump. Instead I also cast my vote for Johnson. But the overwhelming hatred and attacks from all quarters has motivated me to vote straight Republican come November. I have relatives and friends in SoCal who are independent. They are frightened by the images of cities burning, and outraged by the blatant hypocrisy of the press. They’ve told me privately they are voting Trump. These people are watching Fox News and Tucker Carlson, something I never would have thought possible. Will Trump win? Biden is clearly the favorite as of now but I wouldn’t be shocked at all if Trump wins again.
That is what I have seen and heard as well. I cannot understand why Democratic leadership isn't condemning these acts of violence. Anyone who has remotely paid attention knows that these are coordinated attacks on American institutions from far left extremists. Distancing themselves from people who hate them anyway would be the right move. Physical security is a very powerful motivator. I could be completely wrong but I just don't see how this ends in a Biden presidency.
How about "The delivery of 200,000 missing mail-in ballots in Michigan and 600.000 in North Carolina, breaking 90-10% FOR Biden, may assure his victory. What a surprise comeback!"
This is a deeply weird way to think about your vote. Does Trump support policy outcomes you do? Is he the best choice available to move us out of the pandemic? Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
Because to me, those are the questions we should be asking. Whether the press is mean to him is a childish rubric to use.
And to be clear: I'm no Biden fan. Both he and Trump are well to my right, to whatever extent either man has an actual ideology. But there's no universe where I can talk myself into the idea that Trump's actually trying to lead or gives a damn about anyone who earns less than an eight figure salary.
Trump supports some policy outcomes I do, more so than Biden.
I don't think the President has much to do with "moving us out of the pandemic." Time and science are going to do that regardless of who is in the White House.
Until March I was and so were most people. I don't blame Trump for the emergence of a pandemic.
Your hatred for Trump is clear. But to be clear, your vote is the one that is deeply weird. You are going to vote for Biden despite him being 'well to your right."
Voting for the lesser of two evils is saner than making your rubric "were some writers being pissy to him?"
Rest of this I just disagree with. And I'd suggest that you take an honest look about what policy outcomes you think Trump wants and his efforts at actually making those happen.
What rubric are you referring to? I never discussed writers being pissy to him.
The fact that you disagree with my perspectives in interesting...
...Two of the questions you asked were about my policy outcomes and my personal situation...it'd odd that you think you can disagree with my answers. They may not be yours but they are accurate for me.
The only one that was substantive and general was about moving us out of the pandemic. Be specific as to what you think Biden will do that will move us out of the pandemic better than what Trump would do.
It was a joke about the comment I was originally replying to---voting Trump because people were ganging up on him. I think that's a crappy reason to vote to anyone.
I disagree with the idea that the president is not responsible to move us out of a pandemic, especially taking into account that we no longer have a functioning legislative body.
I also disagree that Trump even has a coherent set of policy outcomes to support but to the extent he does, few are appealing to me. Further consolidation of wealth isn't something I'm keen on. His education secretary is a ghoul and I have a lot of teachers in my family.
Some of his original claims while he ran for president would be lovely to see. An actual investment in our infrastructure would be tremendous. The "better and cheaper" healthcare plan he promised would be great too. He just has shown no capacity for achieving anything outside of starting culture wars. Also, you did not mention a single policy outcome Trump wants that you support.
So yeah, I'm judging Trump by what he's done in four years. You seem more keen to absolve him of responsibility. That's your prerogative. I find it transparent and uninteresting.

The hearing today was chilling. It made Ted Cruz look like a hero. How flipped is everything?

I note you ignored my challenge again.
Guess we're done
Have a nice day
LOL. Have fun, kiddo.
