Why is the Trump/DeSantis ticket not the right one?
Because Trump ultimately failed as a leader, he's erratic, egotistical to a fault, he's got tons of warts across the swing vote portion of the country, hired horrific people all 4 years and operated a chaotic administration. And he's TOO OLD.
He got my vote before. I can't imagine a scenario where he'd get it again. I'll vote Libertarian or write in Rand or DeSantis.
DeSantis is the future.
Did your life improve under Trump?
.
Yes. But my life also improved under bill clinton and obama. My fortune in life does not depend on presidents.
I really get tired of these kind of arguments. My life gets better when anyone is president because I make better choices the older I get and I'm in a industry that benefits greatly when people and the government spend money they don't have. That corresponds to democrats running the show.
What I worry about is if they go far enough, it will effect all of us and we'll lose the ability for people to have agency over their own lives. This in my view is starting to happen already I want our country to continue to be somewhere I want to live. Oligarch in Russia where I have to watch my back and not espouse my views? No thanks! Factory worker who might can express his uneducated view because education is unavailable to him and no one listens anyway? No thanks!
The CCP is not any better and most of the rest of the world is trying to create a utopia from the top down as well.
The USA has saved lightning in a bottle by historical standards by not trying to impede personal liberty but harnessing it to benefit all.
I believe in that but I also reserve the right to spit the bit if it becomes counterproductive with my vote.
