First, since you are, as you say, sincere, I would like to say that your conclusion that a vote for Biden indicates being ok with those concerns you mention, the way you put it is exactly like that old hack of ''have you stopped beating your wife''. Of course I'm not, are you? Sure you are not but do you really think that a vote for Trump will stop that stuff, if so I have a bridge to sell you. You make it sound as if the US is some kind of castle with a mote around it and that while Biden has lowered the draw bridge, Trump will pull it back up and all will be well behind the castle mounts. That's a rather fanciful vision if you ask me.
Not vote for Trump? How about a reason you will not likely want to hear again as I am sure you have heard it about a dozen time at least called from the bull horns of all the major media. He is a cult leader, and there is a very good chance that those who believe he can save us all or even just those who vote for him is a pipe dream. Me? I was in a cult and lost a sister to one. I have spent most of my life studying cults, the leaders, the followers and the dynamics of cults and knew long ago that one would arise in this country and now here we are. Honestly, to me, you sound as if you are in it. At this point, there is nothing more i might add other than to suggest to you that you go out and find a book on cults to study for yourself. Pick one of your own choosing, one that you can be sure was not written by any leftist propagandist
I’m also not a republican, didn’t vote for Trump or Biden nor am I cultish in any way shape or form… try harder.
That is fine but did I claim you were? How you vote is YOUR concern. I would not have voted for Biden or before him Clinton but for one thing, Trump. I have to live with myself over those choices and I do which I tried to explain to you prior.
You sound as if you are more of a purist than I am, a this or that kind of person. I used to be that way but the more I attempted to take into account all the info I could digest it began to seem to me that the things you point out that are so wrong with our civilization are, and have been, and appear will be regardless of how you or I or honestly, how any of us vote. The votes that count from my perspective is the votes of the major corporations, the money they use to support their will on the world stage. Me,I guess what I'm interested in is the mania over Trump, not my mania but rather the cultish adoration that follow him everywhere. You, from what you say above, I guess it is not you if you are to be believe and I have no reason to not believe you.
