When the Leftist media tossed out the word "Insurrection" on Jan. 6th, you wrapped your arms around it, dove down the rabbit hole, and pulled the ground in around you.

A portion of the day's crowd invaded the Capitol grounds, fought with the police, pushed past police barricades, smashed windows, and invaded our seat of government with the intention of stopping our government from doing their Constitutionally mandated business.  They threatened to hang the Vice President and forced our elected representatives to flee in fear.  They broke into and vandalized Congressional offices.  

That's what happened on live TV.  What do you call it?  A riot?  And insurrection?  It's inexcusable.  But, of course, Trump wants to pardon all of them.  What a clown.  What an idiot.  How can anyone vote for that guy?  It's a cult.  He can do no wrong.

You can say I have TDS.  But there's no derangement in my dislike of Trump.  It is perfectly rational.  I think he's one of the worst things that ever happened to this country.  And the worst thing he has done is persuade millions of people that our elections are not being run honestly.  That is pure poison.

I don't need to say you have TDS, it manifests itself every time you post about Jan 6th.  Disliking Trump is not irrational, but your intensity blinds you to reality, which is irrational, and your second paragraph illustrates my point.  

Trump has not one, but two cult-like groups of followers.  One considers him to be the savior and the other, to which you belong, the devil.  Why do you assume all who vote for him are part of the former and believe he can do no wrong?  (BTW, that's a rhetorical question, TDS is the answer.)  Sure, he's a clown, I don't disagree.  He's also arrogant, obnoxious, egotistical, insecure, narcissistic, etc.  BUT, he's still a better choice than Harris because of his policies.  I'm not a Trump "supporter" by any means, but I'm not dumb enough to run off a cliff trying to get away from him.

Try to put aside his personality and look at the overall condition of the country while under Trump, compared to the Biden/Harris administration.  Which do you prefer four more years of?  With Harris, you'll get a puppet dancing to the strings of the far left (or, worse yet, she might try to think on her own).  

P.S. Before you decide what to do with your vote, multiply 10,000 (undocumented, unvaccinated migrants) x 365 x 4.  Remember though, if you vote for Harris, that's only part of what you're saying yes to now.  Your personal contribution to the actual cost of supporting them won't be announced until after the election, but you can sign a blank check and mail it in on Nov. 5th.
