I'll be crawling out of a southern Iowa treestand late morning Nov. 3 to make the trip back to Des Moines to cast a vote in person. I'll stand there all day and miss my evening hunt to cast my vote if I have to. You could give me a choice of shooting a 220" on Nov 3rd or going to vote and 1000 times out of 1000 I will pick the voting booth. Sure, I could vote absentee but I don't want any funny business happening with my ballot. Literally nothing short of the world ending will stop me from voting. All of us MUST have the same attitude.
This election is important. The left's inability to directly answer whether they'll pack the courts tells you EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW about their intentions. Once again, they're showing you that when they can't win with the rules in place, they'll change the rules until they can. If you believe in personal responsibility, family values, our constitution, law and order, the right to make decisions that are best for YOU and your FAMILY; there's only one way you can be voting on November 3rd. I understand not liking Trump's personality, what he says, or how he goes about things, etc. but look at what he's doing and look at what his opponents want to do. You can't deny the results. You can't deny the strong economy. You can't deny he's the only President in my lifetime that hasn't gotten us into another needless foreign conflict. You can't deny the peace deals. Look at the results. They said he'd crash the economy, WRONG. They said he'd start WW3, WRONG. They said he'd remove people's rights, WRONG. They said he was a dictator, LOL WRONG.
I've said it in this thread already but I CANNOT stress it enough, YOU HAVE TO VOTE. DO NOT BELIEVE the "Trump Landslide" talk. DO NOT get complacent. DO NOT believe all the Trump signs you see. DO NOT believe that he'll cruise to victory. DO NOT believe poll numbers. EVERY vote matters. Vote as if your vote is the deciding vote for the entire election. Even if you live in the reddest of red states, GO VOTE. You should want to not only crush the electoral college votes but absolutely SMASH the popular vote. A message must be sent that we are fed up with their shit and in order to do that, every single one of us has to vote. Reach out to friends and family that hold similar values to you and make sure they are getting to the voting booth and understand what this election means. Have conversations. That neighbor that never votes, help them understand what's at stake and go to the polls together. That buddy that loves his guns but has never voted, make sure he understands what's at stake with 2A, help him register, and get him to the polls. That younger coworker that shares your values, make sure they're voting because statistically speaking, they're probably not planning on it. If they're someone on the fence, talk to them about why you're voting for who you're voting for. If they're leaning Biden, show them the other side of the coin because odds are they're making their decision based on the smear job of the last 4 years on the nightly news.
Look, I'm a young buck compared to most on here at 27. This is only my 3rd Presidential election. Including midterms, this will be my 5th time voting. I've always felt the "That party is trying to destroy this country!" narrative was just empty pandering. But I feel different this year and will be voting straight ticket R for the first time in my life (don't ignore senate and house races either, they are just as important as POTUS, if not more important). I don't want civil war but I'm very worried that we are trending that direction. Probably not this year, maybe not 10 years from now. But I'm afraid it might be coming someday. Great nations never fall from an outside force, they crumble from within. If things turn sour in the coming decades, people my age are going to be around to live it. Kids, a family of my own, etc. isn't even on the horizon for me yet but I'm very concerned about the idea of my future children not enjoying the same United States of America that I enjoyed growing up and the opportunity this great country provides. I'm very concerned that all of my hard work up to this point in my life will be for nothing. Please, please, please go vote and get everyone you know that shares your values to go vote as well. It's so important.
That concludes my rant. Have a great Friday.
