As the evidence was mounting that VP Biden had sold out America’s interests to foreigners for cold, hard cash, I was itching to talk with a Democrat or Liberal or Progressive or Marxist who had voted for Biden in 2020. I could only think of one person who would not call me names for merely asking questions. So, I emailed a blood relative who has lived his entire adult life in and around Seattle.
The dialogue below began August 9th, ten days after Devon Archer connected the dots between phone calls & meetings the VP had with foreign businessmen and the 100+ cash transfers into Joe’s bank accounts. The discussion ended August 13th when he finally told me, in a roundabout way, that he approves of Biden’s traitorous corruption.
DIALOGUE WITH A TRAITOR-LOVING VOTER
Diane: “With all the massive corruption and treason coming to light, do you think Biden should remain in the White House? If not, who would you vote for in 2024, if you could vote for anyone? I think Obama will pull the rug out from under Biden while there is still time to run someone else in the primary.”
Roy: “I truly have no idea at this point. Currently I wouldn’t vote for any of them. Realistically I don’t have a choice like you describe. I’ll be required to pick the best of the worst that is nominated by the parties.
I’m concerned some asshole will run as a third party and split the vote like Perot did. If Trump wins, Democracy will die, and America will become an Authoritative State. His ego can’t control his idiocy. You think he means it when he says: ‘If you go after me, I’m coming after you!’ I believe him. Put’s fear across our government.* Like other authoritative countries. He loves Putin.
I could be talked in to discussing the virtues of Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Jamie Raskin. They seemed to have their objective hats on. [These three were on the January 6th Committee which recently & illegally destroyed evidence so it would not be available for Trump’s defense team.]
I’m not sure Obama can do that, there’s no replacement for Biden is there? That’s why they are stuck with him now. Besides, no Dem wants to take the verbal flake from Trump. It’s much easier to just sit in my chair, keep my mouth shut, and put lobbyists $$ in the bank. It wouldn’t be Harris for sure. She’s ensured her life’s pension.”
Diane: “Do you have any concerns about the fact that Biden has traded America's interests for cash from China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Kazakhstan?”
Roy: “I don’t study our financial situation in detail other than knowing we are in debt beyond recovery.** It is a given that the US, China, Russia financially support the rest of the world in some form or fashion. In 2008 we had soup kitchens in Detroit, but we’re giving African countries $20B. Neither Political party can or will recover from past spending. They don’t care to, but makes for a good story line.
Trumps tax cut gave millions to CEO’s either directly in their pockets or their companies. The companies tax break then went to CEO’s. Companies were supposed to increase the number of employees and salaries. Did that happen? Trump’s China tariff deal hurt small businesses. Historical evidence shows tariffs raise prices and reduce available quantities of goods and services for U.S. businesses and consumers, which results in lower income, reduced employment, and lower economic output.
Have you read Eisenhower’s book – The Military-Industrial Complex – fascinating.”
Diane: “Since you didn't answer my question I am assuming you like having a traitor in the White House. Are YOU benefiting from this unprecedented corruption?”
Roy: “I didn’t hear about a traitor on trial that lives in the White House. There is some guy charged on multiple counts of illegal activity in Florida, Georgia, DC. however. More politicians should be on trial for illegal shit. Some for hypocrisy.
In November, Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., was one of 205 House Republicans to vote against the bipartisan, $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill, calling it irresponsible and the "Green New Deal in disguise."
On Friday, he took to Twitter to tout funding from the bill he voted against -- highlighting a $70 million expansion of the Port of Virginia in Norfolk -- one of the busiest and deepest ports in the United States.
I don’t think I have benefited from any legislation - local, state, or federal in years. My taxes are up, my expenses are up, soon my vote won’t count.”
END OF DIALOGUE
Well, at least he did not call me names nor swear at me for asking questions. The problem is: this man votes. How many Americans will vote in 2024 to keep a known traitor in the White House?
Some comments on your relative "Roy", most of which will be "replies" to this one. First, I have mixed feelings about him. He's obviously hare-brained enough to buy the Democrats' "Democracy Will Die" schtick. It's hard to see anything positive about anyone who would parrot such idiocy. Anyone with at least half a brain knows that what will really die under Trump is the careers of a bunch of Deep State crooks running our federal agencies. And of course we were told before the 2022 election that if Republicans won the House, democracy would die, when of course what would really happen and is happening is that Republicans would gain control over the House investigations, and thereby uncover the pathological criminality of the Democrats.
