This is just my post from the other thread. Yes, I do think Biden is too old to run.
Stephen A. Voice, HOWEVER,
What Trump and his advisors are saying, to me, is far worse.
Trump, just in the last week, is in favor of a national abortion ban, against article 5 in NATO, in favor of mass detention facilities and deportation, and Christian Nationalism. (As in Christian laws tied to the Bible like the Bama IVF law, white Nationalist)
Sorry, that is an immediate no. No, to any of that and I'm sure many of the libertarians on here would be very against that amount of federal power. That is exactly what Trump is saying he and his advisors want to do.
You can try and bury your head in the sand and say oh that is just Trump being Trump, but his advisors will be in power and their rhetoric is absolutely terrible.
His advisors like Stephen Miller, the Project 2025 folks, and his religious advisors are the ones I listen to on what they plan on doing once he is in office.
That to me is far worse than the current situation we have now. That's my rational.
This sounds like 2016 election fear porn, and then when Trump took office about 1% of the fear porn propaganda actually came to fruition. I don't blame dems repackaging this game plan though, because a lot of people buy into it (i.e. ptown), and it worked in 2020. This is the third election in a row, where the best argument the Dems' campaigns have is they are not the other guy running. They are batting .500 with this strategy, we will see how the third and (hopefully) final iteration of this strategy will pan out.
Unless you aren't living in reality, which a lot of coastal libs aren't(including the ones who moved out of their blue states taxing them into poverty), I don't know how anyone can make an argument that this country is better off than it was 4 years ago. Considering Biden's record, Ptown using any type of foreign policy argument against Trump is laughable at best. So far Trump has been on the money about NATO. We all know article 5 of NATO is not going away (so does Ptown, but he is purposely being dishonest), but nobody can say Trump was wrong when he said every NATO nation needed to increase their defense spending. This is pretty much par for the course for the dems foreign policy since 2008. Their strategy has all aged like fine milk, and their best defense is to deflect from their own neoconservatism to bring up the Republican neoconservatism.
Anyway, I will vote for the Libertarian candidate and hope we have perpetual gridlock. I would have voted for Desantis if he won the primary. He would have been my first Republican vote since 2012.
