I don't usually dip into politics especially because people to the left of me resort to a lot of name calling and bashing. Nothing wrong with a debate though. I am not a big fan of trump but I did vote for him last election and and will probably pick him over the dems they have running. I don't think he is god and i do believe he behaves like a child on many levels. I just wish someone from either side would meet more in the middle. I know this is a weed growing forum so must probably lean left because of the push for legalization.
I am a white male, own my own legal business, and consider myself to be somewhat successful. I am a legal concealed pistol carrier and believe strongly in the first and second amendment. Even if I don't agree with you, I will fight for your right to do, and think however you lean. I am not here to say that anyone i disagree with is wrong, we are all entitled to our own opinion and should be able to speak our minds without fear of retaliation or backlash.
I take care of my family and friends of all races. However, I do not feel I should take care of strangers or illegal immigrants. My taxes are high. I work hard and have never asked for help or handouts. Call it white privilege, I really don't care. I have had very hard times and am not going to go into depth about my struggles or use it as an excuse.
The left seem to be pushing free, free, free. I hate that. I get some people need help to get on their feet but no one should be a welfare recipient for more than 6 months. Or get free health care, food, or housing assistance. I pay for everything i have and its because i work hard and have no choice.
I believe strongly that we need guns to defend ourselves against bad guys and corrupt government. It was a check and balance system that has worked well and will continue to work.
I believe all immigrants should go through legal means, pay taxes, come with a skill or financial security where they will not be a burden to me or my country.
I personally think neo nazis, black panthers, or any other extremist are wrong, but like i said, they have the right to think, feel, and say whatever they want as long as they don't break the law or resort to violence. Punching a nazi because of his beliefs makes you worse than them in my opinion.
There is nothing a democrat candidate can offer me when i watch the debates or hear their plans.
I don't choose the candidate I like, I chose the candidate that supports more of my beliefs. I pick the lessor of two evils. I don't care about their personal lives, their language, or their past. I want what will continue to do me good, and support our constitution and fight for the rights that many have died to protect.
