Who Am I Voting For? Let Me Put it this Way...

For what it’s worth… I started voting for President with Reagan in 1984. Yes, I’m old. 

I have NEVER voted for a Democrat. ALWAYS the Republican.

Until this year.

I will always stand up for the persecuted and put down. I will always stand for truth. It’s how my dad raised me. I will not be silent in the face of discrimination, hate speech, misogyny, racist dog whistles, homophobia, transphobia, migrant-phobia, and so many outright distortions and lies.

For me, it’s principles over policies, country over party. Let me put it this way: I might have liked some of his policies and how the trains ran on time, but I would not have supported Mussolini.
