The idea of voting for a democrat 10 years ago was laughable to me. In 2008, i was young and dumb and thought Obama and the dems would seriously fuck up our country beyond repair. But as you would have it, 2008-2016 wasn’t too bad. There was no apocalypse. Life went on, mostly for the better as the economy recovered. Sure there was some things that I didn’t agree with it, but all in all those 8 years were a good time to be American and I was proud of the country.
Fast forward to now, and while I’m still proud to be an American, I’m disgusted in our government and with our politicians. Putting any policy aside for a second, Trump is one of the biggest assholes I’ve ever witnessed. He lacks any form of empathy and simply put hes extremely unkind. On policy, his shift to nationalism is disturbing and completely anti-business. Spending millions on the stupid wall is a farce and is against the limited government the GOP supposedly fights for. But the thing that pisses me off the most is that nobody in the GOP (with a few notable exceptions) has stood up to him. He’s shitting all over conservative principles and Cruz and Ryan and crew are hanging on to his coattails. They’re pussies. That’s why I’m voting 100% democrat this year.
