There’s Principle, And There’s Preference

This is a time-saving form-letter response to callers and message senders trying to get all bad and burly about how disappointed they are.

For all the “former Republicans”, “true conservatives” and “muh party left me” Harris-Walz converts contacting me, pat yourself on the back with one hand, and you know what you can do with the other hand.

Your slam-dunk observations about Trump reflect that you would prefer a different nominee, or one with a different style, or lifestyle.

Sorry you didn’t get exactly what you wanted. Maybe another time.

But if your response to is instead to vote for insane proposals and criminally-failing policies, if you’re willing to ruin the country, and if you think anyone wants to follow you on that, think again.

Elections, unless they’re for homecoming king, aren’t about personality preferences. They have real-life consequences, champ.

If you’re really going to vote, and brag about voting for, a centrally-planned economy, price controls, managed and intentional energy scarcity, food scarcity and other failed Third World-leftist, Constitution-hating claptrap, you’re not about principle.

You’re about preference.

If you hate Trump so much that you would vote for every thing you previously opposed on principle, you’ve got some screws loose. And you’re not principled.

Hating Trump isn’t a “principle”, it’s just a preference. Hating anyone isn’t a defining statement. It’s not stunning and brave, like you think.

Hope you ARE thinking about how you’ll explain yourself to your grandchildren.

They’ll have questions.
