I'm a Canadian, so no real skin in the game so to speak....however, obviously a US presidential election is hugely important to my country and pretty much every country in the world.
I'll be perfectly candid, I have never been a fan of Donald J. Trump....not in his business career, not as a celebrity and not as your President. In point of fact I've been left leaning most of my life, I'm 54 now, for a long time I identified as being center left...moderate in other words. I know I've also put some conservative types off....and that's fine, life isn't a popularity contest.
But over the past few years, and especially over the past couple, my politics have been drifting right....but I don't feel that I've so much moved right, I feel more like I've been pushed. Pushed by the extreme nutbars who have started dominating left leaning liberal politics.
And now, as I watch to see how your election unfolds, though I still do not like DJT on a personal level, I am pulling for him to win. On facebook I've dropped about 50 friends who are disgusted by my politics, oh well....I unfriended a few, most unfriended me.
As much as I dislike DJT personally, I am frankly almost terrified at the prospect of a Biden presidency. Trump has more character flaws than.....oh I don't know, pick some metaphor. But ultimately, he is his own man....warts and all. Biden is also flawed obviously, and to me it makes no difference if he is more or less flawed than Trump. What does matter is that I don't believe Sleepy Joe is his own man, I believe he is bought and paid for and will dance to whatever tunes his masters play.....and the music I hear playing has an authroritarian and undemocrataic rhythm.
I spent about 9 of my first 12 years growing up in your country, (Canada born though) and I can still recite the Pledge and even the preamble to your wonderful constitution. This election is a disgusting mess.....no matter the result hardly anyone has any faith in the integrity of your system anymore. Both sides will lie, cheat, swindle and outright steal to win.....if Biden were to win fair and square, that's democracy.....but this election does not look democratic in the least.
Praying for your country, because a strong and free United States is the best thing for Canadians.
