Sadly, I disagree with Kevin Williamson. That doesn’t happen much. It is not so much that I disagree with him about Trump. I don’t. I vehemently disagree with this statement: “So, now that I am a swing-state conservative, am I going to hold my nose and pull the “R” lever if only to put up a roadblock in front of the Democrats?”
Only? Does Kevin think the Democrats are just a bunch of moderates and can’t be bothered to “put up a roadblock”?
Trump ain’t much, but he’s all we’ve got.
“There’s more to citizenship than voting, and partisanship is not patriotism. If casting a vote is all you have in you, then, fine — by all means, do what you believe to be best. But consider the possibility that the duty of the patriot in these times is not to choose one pack of jackals because it looks a little less hungry and vicious than the other pack of jackals but to oppose these jackals — these demagogues, profiteers, and hangers-on, these greasy little salesman trying to sell you something that is already yours — and to insist that the free and self-governing men and women of this struggling republic deserve better than what is on offer. We can have better than what we have had because we can be better than what we have been.”
Heavens yes. But not right now. Stupid primary voters chose Trump. So we are stuck with him or we get abortion on demand, Obamacare, the Iran Deal, really high taxes, the Green New Deal, business as usual with China and Russia. These Democrats are not your grandfather’s jackals! They sharpened their teeth during the Obama administration and are not going to make the same mistakes again. How is Biden, even if he wants to, going to control them when he calls a lid every day and goes and takes a nap?
Trump will be gone in a few months or a few years but the things the completely insane Democrat party want to inflict on us will endure for a generation or longer.
I’m not voting for Trump but against Biden. We should not be in this position but we are and Kevin saying we don’t deserve it, doesn’t matter one iota. I didn’t buy the binary idea for a long time either but the Democrats have gotten crazier and crazier and Trump has at least given us some good things. The peace deals are no small matter and are important to a foreign policy voter like myself.
So I’m voting for the jackals that at least espouse some of the policies that are important to me.
