Sound Off for Oct. 24, 2020

So tired

Red state, check. Republican family, check. Republican friends, check. Republican colleagues, check. Republican church members, check. Republican organizations, check. Republican media, check. I check all the Republican boxes, yet in a few days I’ll cast a Democrat vote. Why? I’m tired, absolutely worn out. I long for news cycles, media and conversations that don’t involve the president. I don’t want the chaos of the last four years. I will say I voted Republican, so I won’t have to deal with retribution. But I’m voting Democrat, so I can feel peace.

America first

If you vote for Trump, You will be safe. You may not like the manner, tone or bluster of this non-career politician, but you will be safe. Though all of his accomplishments have not been reported by a biased media, he has come through on his campaign promises. He does not need this job as president having left a lifestyle that most can only dream of achieving. He truly loves this country and its people. He will fight for us and put America first.

Write-in for president

I’m voting for Kristen Welker.

Decal sticker

To whoever tore the brand-new VOTE decal off my car, undoubtedly because the decal also depicted a silhouette of Ruth Bader Ginsburg: it doesn’t reflect well on either you or the candidate you support if you’re so insecure that you’re afraid of a dead woman.

Plan for a cure

The U.S. has approved full use of the viral drug Remdesivir for treating COVID-19. It doesn’t cure, but is a therapeutic which strengthens and reduces recovery time. Making tremendous progress as President Trump promised. He created the government-private focus and collaboration that’s leading. Everything Biden promised he would do, Trump has already done in this fight.

One question

I just have one question: When did the character of the president of the United States stop being important to so many Americans?
