Am I a Trump Supporter?

I didn't think I was a Trump supporter, but I think I might be. From my view, I've always supported freedom and liberty. But it seems these days that makes me a Trump supporter.

I'm for judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. I thought this is what everyone wanted. I'm not naïve to think that historical racism and sexism hasn't had consequences to this day, but hard correcting that by going the opposite direction doesn't seem to be the solution. But we're literally in a time in history where we have people saying we need to make sure we make race a legitimate quality by which someone should be judged. An orchestra tried to fix this but making all their auditions blind. That way there was no way for there to be any bias by race. They used their ears to judge the quality of the music without seeing who was doing the playing. The problem is, the racial disparity continued. Now they want to add race back to the mix to bring 'equity.'

Not everything with racial disparity is caused by racism.

Look at the NBA. What's the percentage of different races in that sport? Would any serious person say that it needed to be fixed? No. The best players are making it to the NBA regardless of their race.

There's a double standard that's just going to get worse and worse as this administration goes on.

By me saying people should be hired based on their talent, intelligence, and ability, I've all of the sudden turned into being a Trump supporter.

Now the current White House seems to be preparing to ban certain news outlets from the press briefings and from being able to ask questions. Something they didn't support when Trump was in office. Let's see how it plays out here.

We're living in scary times right now.

Jumping to Conclusions: The Dangers of Assuming Racism Before All the Facts are Known

In today's digital age, social media has provided a platform for people to voice their opinions and reactions to news stories and events almost instantly. Unfortunately, this has also created a culture where people jump to conclusions and make assumptions without having all the facts. This is particularly true when it comes to issues of race, where allegations of racism can quickly spread on social media and cause public outrage before all the details have been established.

The recent incident involving an 85-year-old man shooting a young black man who was allegedly trying to break into his home is a perfect example of this phenomenon. Before any information had been released about the incident, people on Twitter were actively doxing the alleged perpetrator, assuming that he was a racist who had shot the young man because of his race. However, as more details have emerged, it has become clear that the situation is much more complex than initially assumed.

It is possible that the ...

Gun Control?

The issue of gun control in the United States is a complex and controversial topic, with advocates on both sides of the issue. While some believe that individuals have the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment, others argue that the easy availability of guns contributes to the country's high rate of gun violence. Regardless of where one stands on the issue, it is clear that there is a need to get guns off the streets or at least out of the hands of people who should not have them.

The United States has one of the highest rates of gun violence in the world. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there were over 43,000 incidents of gun violence in the United States in 2021, resulting in over 23,000 deaths and over 42,000 injuries. This level of gun violence is unacceptable and something needs to be done to address it.

One approach to addressing gun violence is to enact stronger gun control laws. This could include universal background checks, waiting periods, and restrictions on the sale...

Trump's Narcissism Hinders Allyship and Progress for Republicans

Donald Trump's narcissism is well-known and widely documented. He has a deep need for attention and validation, and he often puts his own interests above those of others. This has become particularly evident in his relationship with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who could be a valuable ally for Trump.

DeSantis has been a strong supporter of Trump and his policies, and he is seen by many as a rising star in the Republican Party. He has also been praised for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida, which has earned him a great deal of respect and admiration.

However, despite DeSantis's potential as an ally, Trump seems unable to let anyone else share the spotlight. He frequently criticizes DeSantis and other Republican leaders, even when they are working to advance his own agenda.

This kind of behavior is characteristic of narcissistic personality disorder, which is a mental condition that affects a person's ability to relate to others. Narcissists often have a grandiose sense of ...
