I don't worry about your vote. You can waste it as you like.
Unfortunately, several people seem to value your input here, and your advocacy against the alternative to the anit-American party (even tho you claim not to support them) does bother me.
Paint it as you will, if you are the enemy of my ally, you're the enemy.
You advocate this point of view with Ukraine (tho since when are they our allies?) but dismiss it domestically.
I'm not quite as black and white with the enemy part but you nailed it with the last line.
Many of the trump derangement syndrome "republican" types are happy to bankrupt our country and destroy the future of next generations so we can fight to the last dead Ukranian and very likely turn our sons into hamburger in WW3.
But it's too (hold your pinky up for this part at the tea party lads!) "distasteful" to vote for Trump.
he doesn't have the blue blazer and other wot wot country club snobbery.
It's myopic, it's ironic, and it's pathetic. I believe the word shameful is quite appropriate.
They're too proud to see it and would rather we all lose "honorably" than take the practical approach. Meanwhile - listen to us on our practical approach in Ukraine and against isolationism!!!
And brother - they can wrap themselves in the flag faster than i can blink when challenged about it. "muh credentials and connections!!!!"
There's a lot of khaki and blue blazer country club republicans that over the course of my lifetime have said some very pretty things and brought their "honor" and "dignity" while the overall movement from 10k feet is a steady march to the left.
Bill Buckley, David French, John McCain, Paul Ryan, the Bushes, The turtle and the last dozen or so speakers of the house, Romney, Cheney, Pompeo, etc., it's a big list. None of them has actually been what I would call effective at the end of it.
