Take Me With You

A disturbing new poll from The New York Times and Sienna College has Donald Trump ahead of President Joe Biden in five of six swing states that will decide the 2024 presidential election. The good news for President Biden is that this is early and there’s still a year to go. The bad news for the president is that a lot of voters are stupid with extremely short memories.

Nate Cohn, The Times’s chief political analyst, says this isn’t really about Trump and more of a reflection of disappointment in Biden, which may also be why Biden won in 2020. More voters, myself included, hated Trump more than they liked Biden. I personally would have voted for a wet moldy sponge lying in a gutter over Donald Trump.

But right now, Trump is ahead of President Biden by four to 10 percentage points in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Now for the real bullshit.

These voters prefer Trump on issues like immigration, the economy, and foreign affairs. One Pennsylvania voter said, “I would much rather see somebody that I feel can be a positive role-model leader for the country. But at least I think Trump has his wits about him.” Are you fucking shitting me? Wits? Trump? Wits? Wits? Get out of here.

In the poll, 71 percent said President Biden, who’s about to turn 81, is “too old” to be an effective president while only 39 percent said 77-year-old diaper-wearing incoherent word-salad ranting Trump was too old.

Despite the fact that the economy is improving and more jobs are being added monthly, voters prefer Trump over Biden in dealing with the economy, even though Donald Trump tanked the economy. Donald Trump is the only president (sic) in the modern era to leave office with a net job loss. There were fewer jobs in this nation the day Trump left office than the day he walked in. And remember, Donald Trump never built the positive economy he had during his presidency (sic). He inherited it from President Barack Obama.

Voters said they trust Trump more on immigration. I guess they view building a useless racist border wall, Muslim bans, rejecting people from “shithole countries,” and throwing brown kids into cages as a positive.

They trust Donald Trump more on foreign affairs than they trust President Biden. Remember how Donald Trump cuddled with dictators and autocrats while attacking our allies? Remember when he called the Prime Minister of Denmark “nasty” for refusing to sell Greenland to us? How can you trust a guy on foreign affairs when he didn’t know Puerto Rico was a U.S. territory or an island? How do you trust a guy on foreign affairs who tried to destroy NATO and wanted to invite Putin back into the G7? Why would you trust the guy who gave classified information to Putin? Why would you want the guy who said Putin was a “genius” for invading Ukraine? Why trust the guy who praised the smarts of Hezbollah?

Let me remind you that NATO is larger and has more members now thanks to President Biden.

My hope is that as we get closer to next November, voters remember who and what Donald Trump, who’s currently facing 91 criminal charges, is. I always maintained the attitude that I want to stay and fight for my country, but if this nation prefers the guy who tried to steal an election and destroy our democracy, then I don’t think I want to stick around. I don’t want to live with people who forget how many died because of Donald Trump ignoring the pandemic for his own selfish purposes.

I don’t think a guy who prefers fascism over democracy deserves your vote in a democratic election, an election that if he loses, will claim was rigged and stolen. Don’t vote for the guy who praised Nazis.

And if aliens do fly by, take me with you!
