I really want to vote against the Dems, but I absolutely hate Trump and Trumpism

I disdain just everybody everything coming from the left these days. Yet I know Trump and Trumpism is giving liberals extra political tolerance and is shielding them from a larger political backlash. Up until a couple of days ago my plan for November was to vote for Biden, but straight line vote GOP in every other race.
But I'm changing my tactic and voting straight-line Democratic. I've thought it over and come to the conclusion that Trump and his mentality is simply the (far) worst of two evils. We're here now dealing with shit like BLM and Coronavirus hysteria, only because our only alternative is someone like Trump. In other words, the GOP is not dealing from a position of strength. They have a very weak hand right now.

The first debate is Sept 23. Maybe wait till then to make a choice.
I get not liking Trump's "style" and personality - but I'm hard pressed to find one reason any American's life is worse off b/c of Trump being in office - AFAIK Trump has not removed a single right from any American, and the economy had done better than any time in history - AFAIK America and it's citizens have never been richer nor freer than w/ Trump - I doubt the same can be said about the Dems and their thirst for power and to run the country and individual American's rights - the Republicans are about small-government and letting people live their lives, the Dems are all about social-engineering and controlling people via governmental overreach and economic overreach.
The Trump hysteria is mostly just a personality issue, not that he's done anything bad for the country - yet many are risking having extremists like Sanders, Warren, AOC, the Squad, take over the running of this country just b/c they don't like Trump's attitude which would turn American into a (bad) shadow of its former self.
The left and right have never been this far apart during our lifetimes. How anyone can be on the fence is beyond me. You either support law and order, border enforcement, strong trade policies and economic prosperity, or you support the radical liberal agenda that is the opposite of those things. If you're flip-flopping and undecided at this stage of the game, there's really something wrong with you.
Democrats are the party of no growth, urban blight, anarchy, top down control, and rolled back rights.
I'll take the asshole.
We're in more trouble than I thought with logic like that.
79% of the public supports President Trump's immigration moratorium. What mainline GOP issues even have majority support? The public dislikes mainline Republicanism a lot more than any claim you have they oppose populism and America First. You're done and good riddance.
Long live America First. It was around before Trump adopted it and will be around long after 2024.
nicespice supports the Libertarians for one reason. She wants the Loser Leaf legalized. But the Libertarians are not pro-loser leaf. They just don't think we should spend any money to enforce laws against the loser leaf.
It’s a bit more complex than that, but it sums it up well.
After the first President Bush gave in to the Democrats and increased taxes to gain support for the war with Iraq, I started voting for every Libertarian I could.
What brought me back to the Republican part was September 11th. Or more particularly, the Libertarian response to September 11th. Though there were mistakes that President Bush made, by and large, he did the right thing.
After September 11th, the only Libertarians I voted for were those running against John McCain.

Newsflash, doesn’t matter who you vote for, that shit is going to go on every 4 years from now on.
Ask yourself if Trump (or hell any other Caucasian president in his shoes right now) would be dealing with the response to rioting the way he is if it wasn’t an election year. Hell no, he’d bring out the infantry and lay the smack down on these non working looting fucks that are costing taxpayers millions of dollars.

This is the future of this wonderful party - this guy is running for the Minnesota State House:

That's weird, because in my (rather extensive) experience smoking weed has always resulted in people coming together regardless of racial or cultural differences. That doesn't seem to be happening in left-wing controlled cities these days.
"Virginia Democrat Charged With Multiple Felonies For Her Alleged Role In Destroying Statue"
"... State Sen. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth) is facing two felony charges for her alleged role in the toppling of a Confederate statue in Portsmouth at the start of summer ... “Portsmouth Police Chief Angela Greene said the charges are the result of a weeks-long investigation into the June 10 incident, which left a local man critically injured after the statue fell on him during a protest,” the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported. “Lucas and six others, including NAACP leaders and a local school board member, were charged with conspiring to commit a felony, and felony injury to a public monument in excess of $1,000, Greene said Monday.”
"... Demonstrators beheaded the four Confederate statues before pulling one down using a tow rope Wednesday night at the Portsmouth Confederate monument as police watched,” the Daily Press reported. “A protester was injured as the statue fell, hitting him on the head. Louie Gibbs, vice president of the Portsmouth NAACP, said the man, who was in his 30s, lost consciousness. The man’s head was cut open, and he was transported to the hospital ..."

Well if we want to get to my persona views of pot (tho Warrior is also welcome to chime in—because he’s apparently quite the expert of everything about me), I think like with many other substances it can have its good and also its negatives. The good is the empathy many can feel just like you described. The negatives can be anxiety and paranoia, which can lead one to a dark train of thoughts that may justify violence.
Or at least that’s just my guess.
I disagree. Yes, I've had some paranoid thoughts when really stoned, but it was only shit like "the cops are coming for us." It never made me feel animosity toward anyone for any reason. In fact, it always seemed to make everyone get along very nicely.
That's brilliant stuff nicki. I'd call you a hyper-emotional pussy, but that would be just stating the obvious. 😉
