Elections

The elections category discusses why some political issues are trending and why some punch our buttons, the ethics of the stump, vote fraud, the never ending struggle for our hearts and minds, and the internal strife in the Republican and Democratic Parties as members struggle to create identities they can sell to voters.

It began with a mean-spirited remark about Americans being deplorable. The reason? We were supporting Hillary Clinton's opponent and she didn't like it. Republican campaign rallies were disrupted.

Obama signs gender equality bill. Why did Clinton turn women into victims? Official White House Photo by Pete Souza.

It was only a matter of time before African Americans were pushed off center stage. Why? Democrats need fresh victims like Illinois politicians need corruption. Sensationalizing police shootings got old. The press and the party needed something new to inflame the nation. The election process was more than willing to provide women, who filled the gap by being turned into … [Read more...] about Women are Helpless Victims for Dems to Exploit

Worst Reason to Vote for Trump is Also the Best

Best reason to vote for Trump? This isn't you. Courtesy National Park Service.

There is one absolute worst reason to vote for Trump. Ironically, it is also the best reason to support his candidacy: you are being told not to. As an American, being told not to vote for someone should make you really, really angry. Everyone has turned on Trump. Democrats hate him. We expect that. Republicans fear and dislike him. That we don’t need. Voters are mixed. … [Read more...] about Worst Reason to Vote for Trump is Also the Best
