From this:
While former president Donald Trump won the Kentucky primary, thousands of Republican voters cast ballots for candidates who have dropped out of the race.
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has already won enough delegates to secure the nomination, and each of his rivals has dropped out of the race. However, some moderate Republicans still refuse to vote for Trump. Instead, they are casting their ballots for other candidates like Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador who ended her campaign in March.
The bad news is that, regardless of how many Republicans dislike Trump due to his criminality and opposition to the principles of democracy, Kentucky is going to vote overwhelmingly in his favor. States that rank close to the bottom in terms of education, healthcare, and economic opportunity would vote for Adolph Hitler or Ivan the Terrible over a moderate Democrat like Joe Biden, and there’s not a goddamn thing anyone can do about that.
Fortunately, the U.S. electorate is composed largely of folks who uphold true American values: honesty, fairness, rule of law, and above all, democracy.
As a financially comfortable, educated, straight white male, one might think I’m impervious to any of Trump’s policies.
I have a weakness, however, and it’s one I share with virtually every other progressive on the planet–I care deeply the well-being of other people. It disturbs me greatly to see other people suffer, especially when that suffering would be so easily avoided.
At left is a great example of a fallacy called a “false dichotomy.”
We all crave information that backs up what we already believe, and, in general, Trump supporters have this going on in spades.
When we think about it, isn’t in possible to both protect American citizens and respect the Constitution rights all people living here?
What would one expect a sycophant to say?
