I see here and elsewhere people who otherwise identify and conservative or Republican or both. Yet if you asked them even 9 months ago, would you support a life long Democrat who favors single payer healthcare, favors use of eminent domain for private gain, favors abortion, and has never held office they would answer a resounding NO.
And yet here they are supporting Trump, who is all those things and more. A man with professed intentions to commit war crimes, an idiot on foreign policy, a serial adulterer, a man who plays footsie with racists.
How to explain this?
Well, first of all if you're in such a position that eminent domain, abortion, and single payer healthcare are topping your priority list, congratulations. You're doing far better than 95% of Americans. The majority of Americans are far more concerned about illegal immigration, the porous border, jobs, and Isis. Having said that, let me start off by saying that I think the majority of Americans are neither strictly Democratic or Republican. We vote for whichever candidate best aligns with our core value systems. When forced to align with a particular party we pick the party who more closely represents our views as a general rule.
On to your objections and allegations regarding Donald Trump. You brought up war crimes, I assume you're referring to waterboarding and Obamas ban on it. First of all his ban is hardly credible and he only placed it to further coddle the terrorist organizations he REPEATEDLY aligns himself with at the expense of American soldiers, American citizens, and American lives. He frequently plays host to the Muslim Brotherhood who is without a doubt tied to terrorist organizations. It's been proven by the FBI. He's releasing terrorist from GITMO as we speak who have American blood on their hands. His ban on waterboarding had NOTHING to do with human rights. According to Obama human rights only apply to the Islamic community as is the belief of all Muslims. If it's fine with you that American citizens loose their lives so that poor Ahkmed doesn't feel discomfort then you're in a very small minority of people. I don't care that a couple of Obamas yes men have said that it doesn't work as a PR stunt to sell it to the liberals. It's been used for centuries. It does work, it has saved lives and it won't stay banned. So you needn't concern yourself with an American POTUS committing war crimes. Though I find it odd that you're unconcerned with the intentional disregard of genocide being committed against the Coptic Christians in Syria and other places in the Middle East by the current Administration. Or like Obama are you only concerned with the "human rights" of the Islamic community?
I am unsure what you dislike about Trumps foreign policy because you gave no specifics you simply called him an idiot. I tend to agree that NATO should be restructured and geared toward the new threats our Nation faces which is terrorism. I also agree that Russia can be a respected adversary, we needn't constantly be on to verge of war with them. "Keep your friends close, your enemies closer" makes perfect sense to me. I also agree that America has been footing the bill on trade deals with ALL Nations for far to long, we no longer have the money to eat losses on EVERY single deal we make. It's absurd. And I also feel that American interests far outweigh any International interests. Every other Nation on the planet takes care of itself FIRST, but America shouldn't? That's ridiculous.
Lastly, American culture is worth preserving. We do NOT owe anyone anything. For far to long America has allowed people to come to this Country and bent over backwards to accommodate them, at the expense of our culture and our way of life. No more. Coming to and becoming American is a PRIVILEGE not a RIGHT. It's time that it be treated as such again. Which leads to the border. It's ludicrous for people to say it's racist to protect our borders LIKE EVERY OTHER NATION including Mexico to the south. Our sovereignty and the safety of our people comes before anyone's "feelings". However the waving of Mexican flags while screaming at Americans to "get out" of their own Country certainly makes me want to roll out the welcome mat. It matters little though because the bottom line is that Americans need jobs, and we should have first pick. If immigration is harmful to America, which at this point it is, it should stop. And I could go on and on but I need to ask, "If not America first" then who? Donald Trump isn't racist, you're confusing him for Hillary and her KKK contributing friend. He's NEVER said one thing that's racist
