Hi, Steve! I did not vote for Trump in 2016; I voted for the Libertarian candidate. I spent the next four years marveling at how the media and it's many manipulated sycophants were consistently misrepresenting Trump, to the tune of outright lying about him. I did vote for him in 2020, but then he lost all my support with his unrelenting insistence that the Democrats stole the election.

What followed were accusations and hearings and trials and convictions. And yet through it all, as of today, I am an unapologetic, huge fan of this man. I'd rather someone else be president, as both parties offered more qualified candidates in the primaries, but they all lost. Vivek was my man!

Throughout this past year, Trump offered real solutions to our national problems. Throughout this past year, Trump was relatable, accessible, and empathetic. Biden and Harris, by stark contrast, were revealed as unapologetic liars residing in an alternate reality.

And I recently read a Time Magazine article from February, 2021 (The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that Saved the 2020 Election), that stopped short of claiming the election was fixed but makes the case that the Democratic Party did everything it could to assure that Biden would win. This article was written by an unapologetic Leftist in an unapologetic Leftist publication.

Our two-party system is an unnavigable mess. The electoral college serves no one. So yes, we need a shift. More than the one that just got voted into office. (Is that a mixed metaphor? Apologies.)

Here's to us untiringly working toward that end.
