The upcoming presidential election has offered a stark alternative between President Donald Trump’s embrace of American exceptionalism and freedom and Kamala Harris’s allegiance to globalist management.
The prospect of Democrats persevering with to embrace censorship, warmongering, and lawfare has led many to a Ronald Reagan’s “I didn’t depart the Democratic social gathering, the Democratic Celebration left me” second of their very own.
Writer M.C. Armstrong wrote The Mysteries of Haditha about his time as an embedded journalist with Joint Particular Operations Forces in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, in 2008. His story was nominated for “Finest Memoir” on the 2021 American Guide Competition.
On Friday, Armstrong wrote a robust assertion, which he refers to as a “profession suicide observe,” on what drove him from the Democrat social gathering and why he’ll vote for Donald Trump in November.
To @TheDemocrats,
That is my profession suicide observe, but it surely’s additionally a thanks from somebody who is finished with careerism. I’m a lifelong member of your social gathering and I’m voting for Donald Trump. Why? It’s not simply your industrial-scale censorship or your limitless wars or the truth that you disenfranchised tens of millions of Kennedy voters by way of lawfare. If that had been all I had, it might be adequate, by way of conscience and rage, however there’s extra to this story than anger. Your hatred and censorship has taught me to admire @realDonaldTrump and to like my fellow working-class People, and for that I thanks.
This vote is for all of the traumatized individuals who have been canceled and banished only for saying no to the institution. This vote is for the surveyor, the farmer, the HVAC man, the nurse, the hairstylist, the Deadhead, the veteran, and my fellow adjunct professors who’ve instructed me their tales about being bullied by the Democrats of their family and friends and their colleagues at work. That is for the younger Black lady in my class final yr who, on the day of Kamala Harris’s go to to campus, mentioned, “You’re going to hate me, Dr. Armstrong, however I’m not going. I’m voting for Donald Trump.” Why would she assume I’d hate her for the way in which she votes? What has occurred to our nation?
In some way, Donald Trump has modified my thoughts. The place I as soon as noticed a cartoon white supremacist, warmonger, and narcissist, I now see the person who renegotiated NAFTA and the one president within the twenty-first century to not begin a brand new warfare. The place I as soon as noticed the pal of the neocons, I now see a person who has awoken from his slumber and disavowed Dick Cheney, George Bush, and John Bolton, at the same time as my very own social gathering embraces these “males.”
Why has the best entrepreneur of my technology (@elonmusk) risked his profession to aspect with Trump? Why has probably the most consequential grassroots environmentalist of my time (@RobertKennedyJr) sacrificed mates, household, and repute to aspect with “The Orange Menace?” Why has probably the most brave peace activist of the twenty-first century (@TulsiGabbard) left our social gathering? As a result of Tulsi, Bobby, and Elon see what I see. Donald Trump is resilient and he’s risking his life to vary the destiny of our nation. Trump is remodeling the Republican Celebration into the social gathering of peace, free speech, and the working-class. He has transformed George Bush’s billionaire boys membership of Massive Conflict, Massive Ag, and Massive Pharma into a celebration that cares about public well being and embraces regenerative agriculture.
