My Response To One Of My Followers Comments

Hi Tom, I am a Trump voter. I’m not here to spike the football. But instead to suggest that maybe the 70-80 million who voted for Trump did so because they don’t feel like this version of the Democratic Party represents their concerns, or that Kamala Harris is their champion. I’m recalling Bobby Kennedy’s Indianapolis speech. We can decide to move forward in this country with the two sides not talking to each other, thinking the other are evil or want fascism or what you will. Or we can make an effort to talk to each other, to comprehend, to come together, with goodwill towards all. I’m in the latter camp. We have our disagreements but in my view those disagreements don’t define us. Let’s work out our differences in the political process but then break bread together at the end of the day. Let us keep talking to each other. And as Joe Biden once pledged, let us turn down the temperature. Donald Trump is not the devil incarnate, nor are the majority of this country who voted for him. God Bless you.

Thanks for the response and you are welcome to spike the football since Trump won both the Electoral College and popular vote. To my dismay and amazement, I might add. If Trump ever sounded like you, “Or we can make an effort to talk to each other, to comprehend, to come together, with goodwill towards all” I could understand people voting for him. And he may not be the devil incarnate but his actions (January 6th) and his words, lies, misogyny, racism, belligerence, and cognitive impairment, scare the heck out of me. That seventy-five million Americans voted for a twice impeached felon, who declared he would “ gut civil service protections”, prosecute “political adversaries," deport 11 million illegal immigrants, and seems willing to flaunt the rule of law, baffles me.  I know Kamala and Democratic policies are imperfect but they pale compared to Trump’s liabilities -- personal and political.  I guess we will have to just disagree on Trump and hope for the best, for our country, and all our citizens.
