I’ve always had a great deal of dislike for him. He’s just a terrible person, in general. But yesterday, I watched a TikTok that broke my heart. This man (in the construction business), was talking about how another friend of his, (also in the same business) was contacted by trumps people to do a $3.5 million job. The man that made the TikTok tried to tell him that he didn’t think it was good for him to do this. His friend advised him that he was working on a pretty airtight contract.
In the end, this guy had to sue him. He only got 1.5 million. So he took all of his business holdings, equipment, etc., and sold/cashed out. He paid everybody like he always did. And then he went home and blew his brains out. and I just thought, “Holy shit. That is a horrible thing” and I’m just even more disgusted now.
It’s true that he’s got mostly uneducated followers. But he has some who are, or at least think they are. And it just stuns me that our country is in the position that it’s in. He made it “OK“ to be openly racist and bigoted. And I guess I’m just so surprised and disappointed at exactly how many people that is.
I am an independent. I have voted all across-the-board. But until I see a truly viable Republican candidate, I’m only voting blue. My home/family dynamic will not allow me to vote red, ever again.
