After Jan 6-I really thought Trump was done. I didn't think anyone would want someone who had incited an insurrection anywhere near the White House. I was wrong.
I don't know exactly why people want Trump in the White House again. As I write this, the race is extremely close. Too close to call. But why? Why do so many people want / love Trump? I have 2 predictions.
1- There's deep rooted racism in America-the boarder seems to be the no. 1 reason why these MAGAS are so scared. Thinking immigrants are 'vile' and 'evil' "They're eating dogs and cats!" And right-wingers are mostly white, so they see a white guy yelling about how 'scary' immigrants are and they'll belive it. Whether they know it or not.
I honestly think 30% of America would love to see Hispanic families ripped apart by the military. They'd cheer at such a prospect. See an immigrant? Expect to see them kicked out with no mercy. Hitler used the same tactic with Jewish people.
Now of course, a lot of America wouldn't like such a thing. But if Trump gets in-who's to stop him at that point? It won't matter.
2-MAGA / first time Trump voters don't realize they're voting for a fascist dictator. Or maybe they do? Trump's ability to use charisma is a huge weapon of his. He wants to silence the media. Calls a lot of networks 'fake news.' Cut communications. Look at North Korea today as an example. Project 2025 is basically a dictatorship handbook. It may look like a way to make America prosperous. But really, it's a dark and devious handbook. How many Fox News watchers know of this? Not many. I asked my uncle and aunt who love Trump and love Fox News-they'd never heard of it. Right-wingers are doing a good job keeping this quiet. It seems to be only CNN / MSNBC who's talking of it. And if Trump doesn't enact P2025-the people around him will. People like JD Vance and other Christian fascist bigots. Not all Christians are fascist bigots-but the ones who love Trump are.
3- The genocide in Palestine is terrible and we need a ceasefire. And I see a lot of young people turning toward third-parties, which is just giving Trump votes. But let me ask you this...if Trump gets in because of your waste of a vote, I promise you you're going to see WAY more violence and civil unrest. Around the world. In red states, trans people will be bullied and hurt. Third-parties just don't work in our country. Not yet. And right now? It is not the time to test it out. A Democratic worldview means more hope and love. Biden and Harris have gotten a lot of good climate change laws passed for instance. Which I think is the biggest issue of the world. It sucks that third-parties mean nothing in our vote. But it's the truth. Remember Jill Stein? She took votes from Hillary-which gave us Trump in 2016.
I am done being nice about this. And honestly, if he gets in. I'm not watching him. Not for a second. I'm going to turn my attention to reading and video games and hanging out with my friends. Because if there's one thing I know-Trump LOVES media attention and he loves people watching him. Well I won't make him happy. And I refuse to let this dangerous fascist run my life for the next 4 years. He doesn't give a shit about me, my LGBTQ+ friends, my disabled family. Why should I give a shit about him? Cause he's the president? Screw that. I have no respect for Trump or JD Vance. Why would I watch them? Why would I care what they say? When he got in in 2016-I watched his every move and I hated him daily. Not making that mistake again.
