It Appears You Have No Idea
Sorry.
You have probably noticed that Donald Trump has supporters who are loud, proud and do not care what you think of him, STILL. I think you may have forgotten, or not realized why that is, despite the clue stick bruising you by this point.
So, here are some reasons. You'll notice that most are things he DIDN'T do. That's because Trump fans want government to stop any and all crap they're doing, and if the guy who will do that is an ass in some way, that's OK. Democrats never seem to care about their guy's character, anyway...
They apparently have no interest in Kamala Harris' or Tim Walz' record. None. Try asking.
Anyway:
• He's not a career politician. Why is this important? Because the vast majority of problems seen by working Americans have come from government. Although many of the problems were not caused by a President, any President is associated with the Congress who DOES produce those problems, even if they are not the same party. It's not even just Democrats to blame for this; career Republicans suck, too. Did you notice that Teh Donald was the ONLY candidate with an (R) who was at all different?
• He has run multiple businesses and made payroll. If you seek to yell about bankruptcies, have you noticed that those occur in courts, and he has been in business for decades?
• His Vice President did not: a) seek to allow falsified evidence at trial, and b) try to extend the prison sentences of black Americans for their labor. Harris did, as AG of CA.
• He didn't lie about Obamacare, repeatedly, as it put tens of millions of Americans out of full-time jobs and kept them there - and medical facilities are still closing.
• He didn't violate Federal law by modifying the terms of Obamacare outside the legislative process.
• He didn't claim loudly that "you didn't build that!" when talking about your life's work.
• It's obvious where he got his money (mostly inheritance). Where did your candidate get theirs?
• He told Chicago police that they could solve their crime problem if they were only allowed to. Well, that was embarrassing. Why would you think otherwise? Do you think race is a free pass, or should be? Would you if it was your business being looted, shot up, burned down?
• He didn't put "diversity" over competency in selecting staff positions, or in the armed forces where such individuals would require constant and radical medication - or think about themselves rather than their military unit - while in operational positions capable of killing thousands of people.
• He didn't party at Epstein Island; it is obvious that those who did are still at large, but career pols, and not to be pursued. Strangely, claims otherwise are taking a decade to appear, even as they would have ended his 2016 and all other runs for office.
• He didn't allow American cities to be burned, as one current VP candidate did, by an organization that did nothing but enrich themselves as they destroyed the property of American workers - and parts of Washington, DC ("Mostly peaceful", my ass). This cemented the idea that "news" was nothing of the sort, never to be trusted - and that the current Administration was not going to protect the citizens.
• He was the target of "news" that was clearly false. So were others, but this is about DJT.
• He didn't call half of Americans "deplorable" or claim they were bitter, clinging to their guns and religion, or call them "trash".
• He didn't trade captured senior terrorists for a deserter.
• He didn't trade an international criminal for a basketball player who could not read Russian laws about drug possession.
• The targeting of his candidacy and his supporters was obvious and continuous, continually raising the question, "What the hell is wrong with making America great?"
• He didn't lead or encourage "an insurrection" of any kind. A cast of liars ignored the Capitol police guiding people into the building, where those people largely took selfies. Think not? There is video, and in a wonderful "tell", the Jan 6 commission actually published that they were seeking the officers who did that. Not fiction.
• He didn't decide to hide manipulation of the free market by telling banks to deny assets to unfavored professions, called "Operation Choke Point".
• He didn't let an American ambassador die in Libya with no consequences, while lying to shift blame.
• He didn't claim ignorance of US cybersecurity law while in an office required to acknowledge it - or claim that the law didn't apply.
• He wasn't involved in the conspiracy to violate 8USC1082, to open the border or keep it open to give American resources to illegals. Although he did fail to deliver on the promise to close the border, he could point to obstruction.
• He didn't abandon billions of dollars of taxpayer property - military equipment! - leaving the Middle East, in a manner that also got 13 Americans killed.
• His people didn't invent the practice of groping toddlers because their parents want to fly on an airplane.
• His conservative supporters are keenly aware that they are shouted down by other "adults", who aged without maturing, intent on preventing free speech because it may prove their position worthless.
• His Attorneys General didn't have to take the 5th Amendment talking to Congress, nor did he engage in the gun-running of "fast & furious".
• His people didn't bugger the 2020 election; Michigan waited 4 months, then dumped 177,000 people off their rolls. Not fiction.
• He didn't have to pardon his own son - for crimes not only known, but for unknown crimes during an 11-year period.
• His people haven't presided over increases in some costs of over 50% due to just 4 years of inflation.
• He divested himself of controls of his money while in office - while Ms Pelosi and others apparently engage in insider trading the very same day legislation they favor becomes law.
• His Inauguration featured a stroll afterwards down the street. The Biden Inauguration featured razor wire and thousands of troops against an attack that wasn't planned and was incredible from the start. The Public? Screw them, they can't be trusted to see Mr. Biden swear in. You can't be trusted.
• His people didn't put cocaine in the White House. Isn't this a hint the people in there aren't interested in your country?
• He didn't expend FEMA dollars on immigrants at the expense of taxpayers needing help because of hurricane Helena.
• He didn't hide the fact that the Presidency was occupied by a man who cannot form coherent sentences.
• He didn't put Tulsi Gabbard on a TSA alert list to restrict her movement.
• He didn't make fraud, waste and abuse integral to American governmental operation.
ALL of these things are the product of career politicians. ALL Americans have a right to expect better service than they are getting, even as they don't usually act. Yet we see repeatedly that a person who advocates for Trump may be physically attacked, or their property damaged, by someone, and that someone is often a gibbering mess, hysterical and incoherent. Why? Who might that be?
Now, you might want to talk about a trial. Do you not recognize that Stormy was in the news years ago? Want to talk about Epstein, dead, and Ghislane Maxwell in jail? For what, now? With whom?
It is a simple thing for the average citizen to blow this off, to look at the unending harassment of Trump and everybody with a red hat and say, "I don't care. Trump is better than any of that... filth."
Can you seriously speak of the law, given the transgressions of the Biden family, Kamala Harris as California AG and their handlers? For
years, government officials have done what they pleased, convinced and
then proven right that there are no consequences for them. Think about this: while Teh Donald was with Stormy, somebody in government office was diddling children provided by Epstein. Who do you support now?
Now, notice what the Democratic Party did with respect to primaries, and tell me that doesn't reek.
Because the ventriloquist doesn't retire his puppet until its usefulness has passed. If you wanna heave when you hear, "Trump", you might think why it is that you're on the side of shooters.

A good friend of sound mind and many skills has likened current US politics to those in Europe, specifically Germany, prior to WW2. I get that - but who are we talking about? Is it:
• The party supporting the burning of American cities for financial gain?
• Those who support the sterilization of children, debunked ~30 years ago?
• The President inaugurated behind razor wire and troops?
• Those in political office who directly forbade the exercise of the 1st Amendment, citing the COVID-19 virus, even to the point of arresting people for being alone -- while ignoring those restrictions, themselves?
• The candidate advanced by her party without a single primary vote, with a history of civil rights violations as a matter of record?
• American cities being held by criminality, such that a wrong turn in dozens of them would get you killed?
• Teachers' unions acting to remove parents from education, even as they lose competency and the quality of education declines?
• Insider trading on the part of the Speaker of the House and several others in Congress?
• The loss of millions of full-time jobs because of health care legislation?
• The appearance and disappearance of millions of voters between 2016, 2020, and 2024?
Politics is always a compromise - but why must we choose between "lesser evils"?
It IS a risk that a public tired to death of being told they must care for minor issues and tolerate crime will allow ANYTHING that seems likely to fix it - and that public is also tired of being told things cannot be fixed. It is their livlihood being destroyed. It is their laws being violated - and every new crime is said to be their fault, not the criminal's, so they have more requirements, not the criminal.
Why are their elected officials NOT fixing this before a wild card arrives?
I'm registered "Unaffliated". I don't want to have to select the lesser evil, or deal with braying and whining about slights both real and imagined. I want candidates who have a service record we know about and can be proud of. I don't see one, but I know that I can't find many in the political profession today - and I know that all this time, the career pol has been flagrantly avoiding the oath of office his/her whole career while backed by two Administrations, at least. Notice once again, or maybe for the first time, that this is not only about Mr. Trump.
That's the clue stick again. Take it!
