The Red-Pill Ballad of the Recovering Never-Trumper
www.redstate.com
This guy speaks a lot of what I feel.
I was always for Trump after he was nominated (he wasn't my first pick...but I hopped on board when he was nominated).
Don't like him as a person.....
But we are fighting for more than the WH.
Great article:
Snip:
I enthusiastically voted for Gary Johnson in 2016. I wrote articles opposing Donald Trump’s presidency and welcomed the title of Never-Trumper. I was a part of the system. I thought Donald Trump was the enemy, even up until the point I was filling out my 2020 ballot. My ballot this year, for some reason, had down-ticket races first and Presidential last. I was excited to fill out my ballot for some of my very close friends running for office. It wasn’t until I got through the ballot and realized I hadn’t voted for president. Except that I did. I had voted for another four years of Donald Trump and Mike Pence, without even thinking about it. That was the moment I unplugged.
I realized Donald Trump isn’t the enemy. The media-created system is. Donald Trump is simply the tool for fighting it. That… That’s why I voted for Donald Trump. That’s why I want another four years of disruption, because I refuse to be part of the system that perpetually divides Americans. The system knows we all hate that division, so it embedded code to convince us to think that, if we maybe vote for a particular candidate, that the division will go away.
