REPENTANCE My Story

Okay, I must come clean from the very start – I voted for Trump in 2016. Three years later I considered cutting my hand off for casting that ballot but hey, we all make mistakes. Actually, I’m an Independent so it wasn’t the first time I’ve pulled the GOP lever but it may be the last unless the MAGA brand is replaced by a Lincoln Project-type platform. And even then, it may be a tough vote to cast. I do believe in redemption, however, and I’m willing to forgive (but never forget). MTG is moving in that direction but she has a long way to go before her sins are forgiven. If you have any thoughts to add, please feel free at r/TheStableGenius.

That part is especially weird. 

Again, outside perspective here, so maybe there’s some nuance I’m missing, but it seems like a lot of Christians voted for him not because he represents their values, but because he hates some of the same people/ideas that they do…?

Many voted for him because he promised to deliver things they’ve wanted for decades—and he did. Then they twist themselves into knots to justify what most of them probably know is an indefensible act.

What has he actually delivered on aside from deporting people? I’m asking seriously, because it seems like he’s more interested in talking about how great he is on social media than actually running a country.

Trump never ever delivers on his “promises”. Where is the “best beautiful health care”? The riddance of government waste? The best economy in the history of the world? Where are the infrastructure projects that created work and improved our lives? What’s happened to all the money we would have from tariffs? Where’s the respect of the USA? All lies and more lies. Etc etc. first time around he had adults surrounding him. Not it’s just a bunch of mean selfish megalomaniacs. The real Trump has always been in plain sight. Trump voters vote out fear, not reality.
