An Open Letter to Trump Voters
by Steve West on May 20, 2020
I'm not mad at you that Clinton lost; I didn't vote for her either. I'm unconcerned that we have different politics. And I don't think less of you because you vote one way and I vote another. No... I think less of you because you watched an adult mock a disabled person in front of a crowd and still supported him. I think less of you because you saw a man spouting clear racism and backed him. I think less of you because you listened to him advocate for war crimes, and still thought he should run this country. I think less of you because you watched him equate a woman's worth to her appearance and got on board. It isn't your politics that I find repulsive. It is your personal willingness to support racism, sexism, and cruelty. You sided with a bully when it mattered and that is something I will never forget. So, no... you and I won't be "coming together" to move forward or whatever. Trump disgusts me, but it is the fact that he doesn't disgust you that will stick with me long after his national nightmare of a presidency is over.

I, myself, don't believe a word she says. She has a long history of lying and taking advantage of people. Her past is beyond checkered and this appears to be her latest hustle. Don't be fooled by this liar second only to the current draft dodger in chief.
I'm 100% comfortable voting for Biden. A slim (very) chance that he did anything to that woman doesn't even approach what we absolutely know about the First Imbecile.

Not that I think my life is that interesting but writing about stuff is a little therapeutic. Highlights in a nutshell: Both girls are routinely making Honor Roll. The work Brenda and I have to do to help make that happen - not routine. Go »Tattooing's Last Frontier
Aside from internal organs, there doesn't seem to have been any body part un-tattooed except for the eyeball. Until now. Colored contact lenses weren't good enough for this guy and I really expect him to be the first guy with a spleen tattoo. Go »Just In Time For Voting
Although I'm partial to the Aaron v. Steve Dunn tête-à-têtes, it seems ironic that UOAS took the opportunity to push for a vote. Despicable. Go »Dog Lovers Unite
Recent conversation with Brenda: Me: I watched the neighbor's dog for an hour the other day. Brenda: That was nice of you. Me: I let him off the leash and a cop came up to me a few minutes later and said my dog has been seen chasing a guy on a bicycle. Go »Vanity Plates
Although a few are a little crude, many of these vanity plates are clever and funny. I've never had a desire to acquire one myself but I do admire a good one when I see it on the road. My personal favorite is "PLAN AHE". Go »

I feel the same way, Steve. I find it appalling that Trump has done so many evil things and admitted to most of them, Jean Carroll and Access Hollywood being near the top of the list, and I find it appalling that his supporters stand by him despite all of that because they like his policies. But now Tara Reade presents a trolley problem for liberal voters disgusted by the moral compromises that Trump voters have made. I think Joe Biden would be an immeasurably vast improvement over Trump, but to vote for him in light of Reade's allegations would represent the same moral compromise on my part. Even Biden acknowledges that the right thing to do is not to vote for him if you believe Reade, which is yet another example of his moral superiority to Trump. I don't have to decide until November, but it's going to be a very difficult choice.
