 I asked this a few months ago and got exactly ZERO non-strawman reasons. So let's try again.

#Trump supporters. Without using straw man arguments, can anyone convince me why I should vote for Trump? You cannot mention Dems, liberals, deep state, or anything else of the sort. I want to hear arguments as to what Trump plans to do that will actually benefit anyone but the monied classes. And no, his btc pandering does not count as that does not benefit everyone and he clearly has zero idea what he is talking about (crypto check?).
We all know what he is against, but what does he actually stand for?

 Where are all the CRYPTO CHECK memes!?!? 
 that's a really good question. Hadnt even thought of it, but you'd think there would be a ton of em. 
 I’m thinking about this one on my background thread 
 I’m no Trump supporter but you can read more here https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/2024-republican-party-platform 
 I'm not interested in reading anything. And I would never vote for anyone. I am interested in what a Trump supporter can use as an argument. Its more for them than me. Because I know none will have an argument, yet they will tell me I have to vote for him or I am a commie. Which, I was just called 3 minutes ago by one of his cult. Thought experiment, nothing more 
 *asks question* 
*refuses to read answer*

No, but in the link I sent, the reasons to vote for Trump would be securing the border and lowering inflation. At least, I imagine that’s what a Trump supporters non strawman answer would be. Whether you like that answer or not, well, that’s more on you. 
 I am trying to get Trump supporters to think. This isnt about me. And it isnt about the RNC platform. Its about Trump and what his supporters support him for. Its not me not liking your answer, its irrelevant to my question. If I wanted to read the party platform I would have read it. How is what I am doing here not clear? Do you not understand the concept of a thought experiment? 
 My dude, you are raging right now. Bad look. Chill. It’s not that serious. This isn’t twitter. 

I do understand the concept of a thought experiment. And no, it wasn’t clear from the start at all that you were framing it as a thought experiment, because at no point did you say that in your original post. You asked for non strawman reasons to support Trump, and I did that. What is the next step in your thought experiment, oh enlightened one? Presume I am a Trump supporter. What’s the next step of the experiment? 
 Well dont fucking talk shit. I made clear in the op what I was asking for. I made clear again resonding to the rnc thing. 
 Rock on dude 🤙🏻 
 🍻 
 Because he's a comedic genius. 

I just want 4 more years of "yuge"  
 From the man that brought you Sleepy Ben Carson, fake news media, wrong, grab her by the pussy and the apprentice??? 

Come on 
 Don't you want to win Bigly? Come on Joel,  
 ah, ok ya got there. I'm sold😂  
 OK, You want to be in charge of your own life, right? So let's go with tax & regulation cuts. More of your wealth back in your own pocketbook & fewer laws forcing you to act the way someone else demands you act.  
 this is gonna be the worst election ever in the US. No matter if Trump wins or loses, his supporters are just gonna be fucking annoying.  
 Hulk hogan and Kid Rock... 
 funny thing about Hogan. I compared the Trump fist pump to Hulk getting back up to beat the Sheik at Wrestlemania on the day of the shooting. Next day, fucking Hulk at the convention. I was floored. Our entire reality truly is so fake and so gay. And I'm just glad I have a really fucked up sense of humor to be able to laugh at it all 
 You have the gift fren!

Use your third eye wisely. 
 That's it man, if you take everything to seriously you'll do yourself in. 

Be like a duck's back,  
 Amen to that. I barely take myself seriously, sure not gonna take clown world seriously😂
