Rudy Giuliani’s Daughter: Trump Took My Dad From Me. Please Don’t Let Him Take Our Country Too
Rudy Giuliani’s Daughter: Trump Took My Dad From Me. Please Don’t Let Him Take Our Country Too
“Nothing I have experienced prepared me for the very public and relentless implosion of my father’s life,” writes Caroline Giuliani, announcing her support for Kamala Harris.
An excellent summary that should sound reasonable to anyone who's looking at the situation rationally. As an outsider, I can't really understand why it's so close.
That said, in BC, Canada, our election in 18 days is too close to call, and the BC Cons are basing policy on American QAnon conspiracy theories (that teachers are part of a secret cabal brainwashing children). And our federal Cons are polling to coast to an easy majority government next year... with even more unhinged views. So it's not like we're doing much better up here.
I don't understand how these elections can be this close. How can ~47% of the population support anti-trans, misogynist, racist bullies? It makes me want to weep.
Going to quote something I said on another account a while ago:
"A mixture of people voting with their hearts instead of their minds, and people being very ignorant about politics.
The end result is a voting population that will vote based on knee-jerk emotional reactions and are very gullible and lead astray by false promises, lies, and misinformation. Basically: They are extremely easy to manipulate.
A lot of Canadians feel Trudeau is a shit, do-nothing politician and PM and that he has to go, and I frankly agree with them. The problem, though, is that they let their hatred of the PM (and his party) blind them and they end up voting for a party which has no functional solutions to everything they hate Trudeau for. The problems that Trudeau has neglected DO need to be taken care of but the CPC doesn’t have a platform or policies to actually deal with them. Voters don’t care though; they just want Trudeau gone. They just want red party gone.
Two or three years from now when PP is prime minister - his ratings are going to tank and people are going to start hating him. The scandals will start stacking up and media pressure on him and his corrupt ministers will continue to grow, and many who voted for him will be crying that they got betrayed. Maybe some day people will learn to stop voting for con artists but I doubt it’ll be in my lifetime."
I am so very tired of ignorant, naive, and irresponsible voters.
A sad and at the same time inspiring story. It gives me hope that even people close to the toxic environment of Trump are able to make informed, reasonable decisions and are not blindly falling for this con man.
Let’s hope that this will be enough to deny Trump a second term.
