I don’t agree with her. I see many libertarians or even libertarian/conservatives like myself. As for those of us that support Trump, calling us “simps”, is a bad take as well. I look at what Harris and Biden have done there last four years - crushing dissent with the help of the tech oligarchs (hence why I use Nostr and hope it grows), enslaving our country thru the scam-Demic, unfettered illegal immigration, 2 new wars, higher gas, food, everything. We don’t “hate” because I support Trump. We care. We want to buy time to foster a return of freedom of speech. We want our country safe. We want those that attended January 6th and are now jailed (I went there as well, though left after his speech) pardoned. And I want to Free Ross.

First pandemic shutdowns were during Trumps presidency. First printing for free covid money was during Trumps presidency. PPP corruption and printing was during Trumps presidency. Printing money causes inflation so Trump caused inflation too. No one who spent 2 minutes looking at my profile would think I support the democrats but you assume that everyone who opposes Trump must be a democrat. Basic inability to remember recent history you lived through, follow simple logic, or see another person for who they are and what they believe accurately is why I call you simps. You have a very inaccurate world view because you have chosen a side and believe their rhetoric over the facts in front of your face. Please get outside your bubble and get help.

I didn’t assume you were anything…. And it’s True - the initial money came during trump. But he let the states dictate “lockdown” (what a shitty phrase, left call it what it was: tyranny) measures. I live in Michigan, ran by a Democrat Governor tyrant. Luckily I live only 20 miles from Indiana, which was much much freer. My wife and I were down there 2-3 times a week for some freedom. (Rep. Gov) and I drive to Florida 5x’s, because I would not wear the slave mask to fly. Again- rep. Gov. Much much freer. The first money pumped out was “necessary”. If u r going to shut down work, basically a taking, u need to let people live. It seems to me trump was played by the deep state. And if I were president and a Ton of people were telling me we are going to lose millions of people - I’m not sure how I would react. That is why - as disgusted as I was by the enslavement, (I never wore their slave mask except to visit my dying mother - who was pretty far left - and to fly one time to El Salvador because I rationalized that trip was more important than my enragement over what was occurring) I give a little leniency to those that were scared shit less the first couple of months. (I give no quarter to those that wanted to slave mask my children, and grandchildren, force Jewish star “vax” papers on a supposedly “free” people, or wanted the state to medically rape my friends and family) That said - once we knew there was little danger at all, the free flow of money should have stopped. Dems added greatly to that. Further. During the entire fiasco the right was much better with freedom of speech. It wasn’t the right that censored Drs. like Peter McCullough, Robert Malone, etc. Thankfully - thought not perfect - Musk bought Twitter and has helped push back against the censorship of the left. There is a lot more I like about trump. Better with illegal immigration, no new wars, much better economy until the scam-Demic, bringing N Korea and SK to the table was incredible. IMO it’s vital that Trump win. And importantly, it gives bitcoiners and nostr some breathing room from the tech oligarchs and the current powers that be.

I don’t disagree with a lot of that sentiment, however, it’s pretty obvious that Bukele and Milei are both, for now, good for their countries. It’s pretty obvious to me that Musk, is currently, good for (though not perfect) freedom of speech. IMO if Kamala wins (or steals it) we are in deep shit. If Trump wins - though not perfect - we are much better off. And a President comes with coattails. I’ll take a Republican Gov. during the scam-Demic, over a Democrat Whitmer (MI) and Democrat Newsom; whom were draconian beyond the pale... I’ll also take a wall. I want immigration. I want it Sane, slow, methodical, vetted, paying their own way - and that is not what is occurring currently. And I want the January 6th innocents pardoned. And Ross free. Much better chances w Trump, hands down.
