Their freedom to be

Many Americans, especially on the right, don’t seem to know what they’re voting for.
When there’s a point to be made and what they say can’t be verified, they don’t want to talk anymore.
But they stay adamant about who they stand with –
The opportunist, the insurrectionist.
One of the biggest con-men in the business world, trusted in their politics.
We’ll have to keep wondering what their reasoning is.
They themselves don’t explain.
Even some who regard him with contempt and disdain, continue to check his name.

There are those who claim it’s about the economy, money and capitalism.
So why aren’t they bothered by Trump’s obsession with authoritarianism.
Disgusted by government intrusion and government overreach.
Still backing Trump, even as he continually leans.
His allies and minions talk about streamlining power to him.
He’s ready – can’t wait to be controlling.
Americans fearing “woke”, but not the removal of Rights and Freedoms.
Despising the LGBTQ plus community while Trump and his Party gives invitations to White Supremacy.
Once these Americans were against unfairness and violence in politics.
Staying silent when allies of Trump engage to fix to their gains.
Conservative values used to entail – discipline, principle and honorable.
Now they align themselves with amoral, unethical and unconscionable.
A 180 degree turn from where they were and who they used to be.
Now blatantly frequent with indecency and hypocrisy.
With their backs to reality, they want to decide for the Country.
Stream to their belief of how people ought to love and live.
They no longer give a s—t about the American Dream or democracy.

How can morality and integrity slide off them so easily?
A leader without guardrails exposing the undertones of his followers’ character and how they wish to be.
Possibly, they’re not being misled, just permitted to show their true colors instead.
Trump didn’t choose them, they chose him.
In that relationship, he sees who they are and they know who he is.
Without pretense, both sides, often mirroring, matching.
Obvious now, with all their talk about “freedom”, it hasn’t been in the context of democracy.
Under Trump, they get to be who they want to be and are better able to damn well do as they please.
But some have problems being completely honest about seeing themselves in him.
They still want others to believe they’re of principle and are innocent.
Trump is who they will be if there is no consequence, shame or societal restraint.
Those who have tried to come all out have paid heavily and lost deep.
So others want to keep a semblance of what America once knew as normalcy.
That’s why their decisions and actions defy logic, reasonable and there’s been no reasoning.
No way of explaining their attachment and fealty to Trump.
Until they come clean.
Allowing honesty to themselves and the Country.
Trump with White Supremacists, Christians, MAGA Republicans, right-wing and Conservatives for Trump – Together as one.
One alike all, and all are like that one.
