Confessions of a reformed never-Trumper: ‘The Democrats are now a machine’

August 30, 2024 | | Print Article

The 2024 presidential election is moving ever closer, and one man is explaining the reason why he’s voting for former President Donald Trump.

“In 2016 you would have labeled me as a ‘never-Trumper’ and I was,” he opens his TikTok video. “I was very outspoken at the time against Donald Trump. I found him to be very crude, I had a major problem with his moral shortcomings, and I just didn’t understand why people would follow this man.”

He even went so far as to write in another candidate entirely, thoroughly expressing his distaste for the former president.

“However, now in 2024 I will be voting for Donald J. Trump,” he reveals. “You say why have you changed, what has changed your mind over that time period? One thing is on record. So Donald  Trump still says a lot of stupid stuff, I’ll be the first to admit that. He tweets some things, says some things that just make me cringe. But I’m more concerned about what a person does compared to what they say.”

“We’ve had a lot of politicians that say all the right things, but they don’t do any of those things,” he adds. “During Donald Trump’s presidency, we had a better economy- you can argue that all you want, the Democrats have been in power 12 of the last 16 years and the economy has been terrible under their leadership. The four years when we had a Republican it was good, and we didn’t have any wars under Donald Trump. By the way, we can compare that to the other candidate who we also have their record.”

“It just baffles my mind everybody says this is what she’s going to do and the change she’s going to make, she’s in power right now. We can compare record to record and I’ll tell you I’ll take Donald Trump’s record any day of the week over what we’ve had the past three and a half years under [President Joe] Biden and [Vice President Kamala] Harris, it’s been absolutely abysmal.”

He goes on to explain that he’s not just voting for Trump’s record but against some of the things as well, including censorship, attacks on democracy, and “the people that have literally come out and said you will own nothing and be happy about it.”

“You know who all those people are and who they support and who they put their money behind? It’s not the Republican Party,” he points out. “The Democrats are now a machine and the person that they run, that they trot out there as their candidate is not actually the president of the United States. I mean you ought to sue your brain for non-support if you think that Joe Biden has been the president for the last three and a half years.”

“He’s just a figurehead and that’s the same thing that Kamala Harris will be, say well why did they choose her? Because, let’s be honest, the color of her skin and he gender,” he states bluntly. “They think that you’re foolish enough – and it seems to be true because I scroll through TikTok too – that some of y’all are ignorant enough to vote for somebody based solely on the color of their skin and their gender, and totally overlooked the fact that they’re trying to take away your First Amendment right, your Second Amendment right, the fact that they’re trying to censor you, the fact that they’re gonna tell you this is your candidate and you don’t even get to vote. And you’ll be okay with all of that because WOO HOO we got the first woman president.”

He also says he’s voting “against the weaponization of our justice system,” which is something Trump has stressed throughout the duration of his campaign.

“It should scare you to death that they use the justice system to try to do away with and get rid of and overtake a political opponent. And some of y’all, again, are ignorant enough to use that in your little arguments on social media ‘Oh he’s a convicted felon’, everyone knew that they were gonna find him guilty and if you just look at it with an honest heart, rational, bipartisan, you’ll understand that those charges are phony and that was not a fair trial,” he continues. “And again, this is coming from somebody that I could stand Donald Trump, but that scares me to death because it’s him today, who’s gonna say if I say something that goes against their political beliefs and what they’re trying to do politically, that it won’t be me tomorrow?”

“So for these reasons and many others, is why I’m voting for Donald J. Trump this election cycle in November,” the video ends.

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy posted a similar sentiment following Harris’s CNN interview on Thursday.
