My mother was a staunch Democrat right up until the day she died. She and I bumped heads on more than one occasion over political opinions. Mom voted for Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and would’ve done the same for Joe Biden, had she still been alive.
I do believe my mother had common sense enough not to have blindly voted for Kamala Harris, just because Harris was a woman, as some Democrats undoubtedly did. Donald Trump wouldn’t have been to her liking either.
Wise voters go with the smartest politician out of the bunch, regardless of their personality, gender, race, and religious affiliation, with the 2024 election results proving a good number of sagacious Democrats crossed the line and voted Republican.
I’ve been a registered Republican for 53 years. This goes back to 1972, when I turned 18 in Alaska. During the early voting years, I didn’t always vote Republican, mainly because both party platforms weren’t that far apart. I jokingly called myself a Republicrat on occasion.
Like many people, I was blessed with common sense, and I’ve always tried to use that trait to pick candidates who put God, family, country, and ethical decision-making at the top of their priority list. “Feelings” have never influenced my decision-making process, especially when it comes to voting.
It was because of such thinking that I voted for Governor Bill Sheffield and Steve Cowper in Alaska over the Republican candidates. Around 1990, my flip-flopping stopped abruptly. I haven’t voted Democrat since, and there’s a good reason. The party is no longer representative of my Christian values. Not even close.
Common sense and the Bible tell me that there are only two genders: male and female (Genesis 1:27). The new Democratic platform seems to think otherwise, although its platform appears to be written in invisible ink. Why won’t they publicly disclose it?
Simple logic tells me that to come into this country as an immigrant, a person needs to first go through the legal process. Millions have in the past. The new Democratic platform, secret as it is, believes otherwise.
Socialism has been proven to be destructive by several countries that have tried it. North Korea, East Germany, the Soviet Union, Cuba, Yugoslavia, and Venezuela, to name a few. Some Democrat politicians, out of what appears to be a desire to destroy the United States, see things differently. They want to eliminate our capitalistic and free-market system of government. A few of them are borderline communist in their attempt to do so.
Democrats don’t support local police, and that was proven by so many joining the defund police movement, despite crime running rampant in the cities. Rioting, looting, and burning were going on in our streets, with Democrat politicians refusing to denounce it.
Some went so far as to call this criminal behavior a peaceful demonstration. Democrat leaders also didn’t support our United States military—having weakened it through budgetary cuts and most especially, DEI idiot-ology.
Can you imagine how weak the Green Bay Packers football team would be if it had to choose players based on DEI guidelines? This was actually happening in all branches of military service. Thankfully, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsteth booted DEI enlistment practices before they caused irreparable harm.
Wokeism is destroying our public school system, with Democrat leaders behind it. They’re the ones who barred God from schools and school presentations, yet allow Drag Queen impersonators to read to our children with no restrictions.
Thankfully, the federal government will not be a part of this perversion, by the elimination of the Department of Education. It will now be up to the individual states and parents if they want this type of adolescent brainwashing to continue.
The Republican Party isn’t perfect, nor are its elected officials, including President Trump, but this country is now much better off than we were less than a year ago. If a person can’t see that…
I like to write junk...
