Life Long Republican

[Quincy2009]

Life long Republican here, my ballot has been completed for over a week minus the most important race...it has been sitting on the counter in the kitchen, I look at it 2-3 times a day but can't bring myself to fill in that last bubble. I have never voted for anyone other than a Republican, including Trump the last two times. I don't think I can do it a third...I can't get past the horror of January 6th. There is zero doubt in my mind that everything he said and did that day and the days leading up to it, were thought out and calculated on his part. Additionally, it has been unprecedented the number of individuals in his first administration, some incredibly close to him who have spoken out against him. I don't believe their warnings should be completely ignored. I don't feel he respects the rule of law and has said too many things that leave little doubt he truly feels he is above the law. How can I in good conscience vote for this individual?

Just to be clear, there is ZERO chance I vote for Harris.

I am leaning towards a write-in decision, I am fully aware of that for all intents and purposes this is essentially like not voting. It makes me feel sick.

For what it's worth, whether you vote for Trump or Harris, I am thankful WE have the right to do so.

Just curious, is anyone else this conflicted?

Life long Republican as well … I’ll vote n Election Day.

I’ll be writing in a candidate.

This would be the first election I would sit out if it weren’t for the Maryland Senate race which I’m passionate about. Angela Alsobrooks is such a pathetic liar ….. her campaign almost had me considering voting Trump because of the blatant lies her campaign has been putting out about Larry Hogan.

 

[tboonpickens]

not sure what there is to be conflicted about honestly.

• rapist
• whoremonger
• thief
• cheat
• adulterer
• heretic
• dotard
• facepainter
• felon
• fraudster
• national security threat
• wannabe fascist
• octogenarian
• Putin stooge

I would vote for Cryin Shane if he was running against that type of person. And Trump is already laying the groundwork for another J6 incident and more thorough attack on our free and fair election. He and his cronies like MTG are already blasting it across their accounts. His reaction to places like PA actually has me more confident in a loss now. There are rumors that he has been told internally that he will not win PA/WI/MI and other states are in jeopardy, which is why he pulled out of the Penn State/Ohio State game and has started accusing people of election fraud in PA.

There are rumors that Kamala polled under 2% in the 2020 primary.

I think he’s goofy as a person and would personally prefer someone more prayerful but his 4 years in office were pretty solid.

Trump wanted to be Hitler during his first term and not leave office but he kinda got distracted and forgot and he left anyway. However during a second term he's going to remember to become hitler, appoint himself dictator with the support of his entire administration, congress, DOJ, SCOTUS, and the entire US department of Defense and throw all the jews, blacks and hispanics into concentration camps.? Yeah, no. Not going to happen. I sincerely don' t understand the write in vote thing. There is no third choice that matters. . You're not voting to make either one of them your personal role model. Its who will do a better job as chief executive going forward and most importantly which platform do you think will be better overall for the country going forward. Choose one.

 

[Quincy2009]

No, not at all, just wondering if I am the only one that feels so conflicted. I have zero problem with those, regardless who they vote for, that have strong convictions.

[Allornothing]

So you’re saying DJT helped orchestrate J6 and knew it was going to happen?

Is that why he offered the 10,000 national guard troops to be at the capitol which Nancy Pelosi and Muriel Bowser (mayor of DC) turned down?

I would have had the same crisis if it were still Joe. I don't think I could have voted for him, but of course, I'm certainly not voting for trump.

RCV! RCV! RCV!

We deserve more choices and to not have to choose the lesser of two evils!

The Republicans held a primary.

The Democrats did not.

The Republicans had choices, the Democrats did not.

Democrats should be punished for their dishonesty and denying votes to millions. Democrat voters do not have a say in the direction of the party and they must be held accountable.

Vote for Trump

You are not voting for perfect

You are voting for the best choice

There are only two choices with a chance

Don’t waste your bullets

There is lots to J6 that had been concealed as it will show lots of fingers in that pie.

I don’t have a team. I vote the individual. Always have. Have voted on both sides of the aisle multiple times in past presidential races. In this election, in all the non-presidential contests, I voted for 5 democrats and 4 republicans. In two of those races, one R was unopposed and one D was unopposed. When it came to the presidency, I had no conflicts whatsoever of voting for the most viable candidate to defeat Trump. I’ve long thought him to be a complete POS; he’s done nothing but affirm my observations. Had the Rs nominated Haley, I most likely would have voted Republican. But Trump is the biggest threat to democracy I’ve ever witnessed, and I do have vague recollections of the reverberations from the Cold War. Whatever you do, listen to your gut and vote for anyone else.

 

[acwill07]

OP I'm in the same boat as you. I'm a lifelong Republican. Unfortunately the party has been morphed into a right wing hate party by a guy who isn't even a Republican. I voted for Trump the first go round. Never again. He's a traitor and a terrible person. I won't vote for Kamala either...she's not good and it's ludicrous that these are our choices. However, if I lived in a swing state I most definitely would vote for her.....just to keep Trump out of the White House. He's gotta be kept out.

 

[leetp]

I would agree, most policies over his four years were right on.

I don't fault folks for being conflicted about voting for Trump. He's a crappy candidate. He got bet by Joe Friggin Biden for goodness sake and has at best a razor thin margin over someone even worse than him in Kamala Harris! There's hardly been a worse candidate on the left than either of those two since Walter Mondale or Jimmy Carter.

Trump's behavior on J6 disturbs me as well, even if much of it is overblown. Still, what he did in office pre-COVID was remarkable. He has the guts to do what needs to be done that others lack. And I think our government overall is strong enough to contain any potential Trump excesses, overblown as the those fears may be as well.

While I have never voted for Trump in a primary, I will 100% be voting for him for a third time on election day and am desperately hoping and praying that he wins.

View embedded media

If you are seriously interested in it, you should look up interviews of a young Donald Trump talking about racial and social issues. This of course was all long before he had an inkling of running for office. I think you'll be quite surprised at what you find.
