For those of us who are ideologically conservative, it is hard for us to understand why people would vote for Trump. if you look at his record, and his current proposals, Trump would be what we call a RINO.
But not everybody in the Republican Party is conservative. There are very few people in the Republican Party who are along the lines of a Calvin Coolidge, Ron Paul, or Barry Goldwater. So I suppose it’s hard for others to understand why folks like myself would not vote for Donald Trump because he’s got the Republican label after his name.
So being an ideological conservative, I look at his record, especially when it came to Covid and tariffs, and cannot vote for more of that because I would not vote for a Democrat based on many of the same reasons I wouldn’t vote for Trump.
As we’ve seen, Trump seems to take positions not based on any principle but on whatever donors tell him. And the reason why he does that because he’s not moored to any particular ideology. That’s why he gave money to fund the campaigns of people like Kamala Harris, Harry Reid, Hilary Clinton, Chuck Schumer.
We see a few people say that he’s going to “save America” and” he’ll protect us from the globalist.” Can they name what he did as president or any of his proposals that will do that? It appears the deep state, and those same people that Trump is going to save us from gained quite a bit of power while he was president with the appointment of people like Christopher Wray and Miley
Crime is another issue. People forget that he attacked Joe Biden over the 1994 crime bill and during the 2020 campaign Trump and his supporters blasted Joe Biden for calling criminals “super predators” during the time the crime bill was debated
If I wanted Democrat policies, I should just simply vote for the Democrat
