Antifamar,
Of course you'll vote Trump. You want to be on the team. losing or not.
You are completely wrong. I NEVER wanted to be on "Team Trump," whatever that means. Here are some of the reasons why:

- I never wanted the wall.

- I never supported the "pussy grabbing" attitude toward women.

- I'm in favor of more legal immigration and less "Fortress America" bullshit.

- And I really hate how our president is obsessed with Twitter.

But I see now which direction this country is traveling in, and it became too obvious to ignore ever since Trump's unlikely victory:

- I see how innocent Supreme Court justice nominees get dragged through the mud with unsubstantiated accusations of sexual assault.

- I see how teenagers are viciously attacked in the media with LIES just because they supported Trump.

- I see how gender dysphoria not only being removed as a "mental condition," but forced upon all of us as a cultural movement.

- I see how this "white privilege" lie is being pushed upon us, even though our society gives a ton of handouts to minority races other than Asian.

- I see how socialism is becoming much more mainstream, especially among our youth, and how more and more people are declaring MY wealth and MY income as theirs to begin with.

- But most of all, I see how postmodernism and the "post-truth" era (which was the main reason I finally stopped being a Clinton supporter in my youth) has affected the political dialogue all across America. Even the NYTimes and the Washington "Democracy Dies In Darkness" Post now "fact-checks" opinions.

That last point alarms me more than anything else. If you can't tell the difference between objective truth and subjective opinion, then you are utterly incapable of logical and rational thinking. You might as well believe whatever the fuck you want, because "truth" is whatever you believe it to be.

And that's what happened to YOU, Brumar. Over the past several years, I have seen you forsake objective truth in favor of your Trump Derangement Syndrome. I once agreed with your anti-Trump stance, but disagreed with the extent to which you would take it. Now I see that you have completely gone over to the dark side. You have not a shred of nuance in you left. Not even a speck.

No, I never wanted to join Team Trump. I thought I could stay above the mess, but people like you are forcing me to take a stand.
