Wow. So much material to work with here. Let's begin, shall we?
You don't love your country then vote for a man who constantly undermines your countries democratic system. Saying the vote is rigged, threatening to lock up his political opponents. Tries to prevent people being able to vote against him. Talks about ignoring term limits and refusing to leave office if he loses.
Voter fraud is real, and has been occurring for decades. Without saying which party is behind it (looks in general direction of NJ, California, Chicago, Detroit), to say it ISNT happening is either naive or delusional.
Locking up opponents? Who created the RussiaRussiaRussia and attempted to impeach a President on fabricated information? Who spied on their political opponent and approved use of gov't agencies to undermine him?
Who claimed Biden shouldn't concede under ANY circumstances? Who has repeatedly asked Trump if he'd leave if he lost and avoided accepting on loss on their side should the votes work out that way?
When you point a finger, there is generally three others with it pointed back at yourself. Glass houses and all.
So, are these things true of Trump? To varying degrees I'd say yes. Are they true of Democrats? To varying degrees I'd say yes. Does that make either party any better than the other? I'd say no.
You don't love your country then vote for a man who uses federal agencies to essentially kidnap people off the street, or tear gas peaceful protestor for a photo OP.
The photo op was a fuckup, I'll agree. The Portland situation is a) created by the Democratic leadership in that city allowing and promoting the rioters to break the law, b ) strengthened by that Democrat leadership both encouraging the protests and requiring law enforcement stand down, c) infringing on the rights of the citizens who live there and are not part of the riotous groups, d) not protecting public property or upholding the law or public safety in any way. Sending in federal assistance is required by both the law and the failure of the local Democratic leadership. Trump sending them in is his duty, and one I'd beg for him to perform should this shit be happening in my town.
Flip it - you believe the takeover of cities and destruction of public and private property is to be accepted or encouraged? If so, would you be in amongst them? If not, what should have been done both before (to prevent) and after (to deal with it)? Easy to point fingers and say a reaction is wrong, but try offering something a little deeper in terms of if the situation should be happening at all, and what should be done about it.
You don't love your country then vote for a man who constantly does everything in his power to divide it. Who uses division, and turning Americans against each other for his political gains.
This didn't start under Trump. He didn't put race out there as a factor to wedge people apart. Democrats (Obama in particular) highlighted that cops are unfairly targeting blacks. Democrats run on "if you dont vote for us you aint black", not Trump. Media has hounded Trump recently to denounce white supremacy groups, which he has; and at the same time not challenged Democratic leadership on their relationship with black or white racist organizations. Democrats run on 'gay pride', singling out a portion of the population to make them a separate group needing protection, needing attention, needing the help of those Democrat leaders. Democrats have a history of using division, identity politics, as a means of trying to generate political power. What has it done for those groups? Democratic cities are on fire, generations of blacks remain in poverty and high crime areas.
Trump has spoken to Americans, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, background, education, or any other divisive differentiator - he has spoken to them as Americans and said he will lead them to economic prosperity, the American dream of doing more, being more. Jobwise, that was fulfilled until COVID hit (glance at employment numbers, GDP, etc). He will say he's done more for black Americans, as a response to Democratic leaders who said 'those jobs arent coming back' AND as a reality given record high employment. He doesn't speak to a segment of the population to say "I am here for you, you matter to me". He speaks to ALL of the poplation to say "WE can do better, and WE will". And, WE have.
