Politics Aside, Quality of Character Matters
Just venting here...
Since Trump got the nomination back in 2016, we’ve heard the rationalization of Trump’s character. It’s always something to the effect of “he’s an asshole but he’s an asshole FOR AMERICA!” I still hear this today.
For me, politics aside, Trump is just a shitty person. Anytime I discuss why I don’t like Trump, before I get to any policy positions, I spend most of the time explaining that Trump is just a terrible person.
Trump is a dick. Trump is an asshole. Trump is a troll. Trump is a baby; a whiny little bitch; a 5 year old in a loose suit (I’m sorry to all the 5 year olds).
As an African-American, I could never get on the bandwagon of a person that enables a racist atmosphere. Although the man himself may not outwardly say anything racist (which is debatable), he enables an atmosphere where white supremacists feel comfortable enough to hold marches and rallies in DC and march in the streets with torches while screaming out their support for him. He couldn’t even give a speech denouncing them without pressure and I FULLY BELIEVE that he never would have done it. He didn’t want to do it. It wasn’t heartfelt. These are his voters. He didn’t want to shed voters. I could never support someone that uses hostility, resentment and a racist atmosphere for their own political gain.
Remember when John McCain took back the microphone from a woman that said she was scared of Obama because he was a Muslim? Do you think Trump would have taken that microphone back and told this woman that things would be okay under a Barack Obama presidency? FUCK NO! Trump would have taken that and ran with it. He basically did with the birtherism bullshit.
A party that supports that is not a party trying to get me. Frankly, they’d be wasting their time regardless. I’ve chosen a side.
I wouldn’t want to work with someone like that.
I wouldn’t want to work for someone like that.
I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone like that.
I damn sure wouldn’t want them to lead our country.
