During the 2024 election, I myself found myself supporting Trump, believing he was the best candidate for the country at the moment, I supported Trump not because I’m a republican, but because I thought he would improve the economy and minimize censorship in the government, and some members of my family were constantly telling me the same thing.
Yet then shortly into their presidency, I started to get a hint of suspicion, like when Legal Eagle reported that Trump issued so many executive orders in their first day in office, and primarily one of which reduced birthright citizenship,
That definitely started making me question Trump, but when I decided to get a 3rd perspective on it, watch Mr Terry history(a YouTube channel all about history run by a professional history teacher) reaction to the video,
Terry mentioned that Legal Eagle was very anti Trump, and because of that I largely brushed away their claims assuming Legal Eagle was a democrat, but still maintained that seed of doubt in my mind.
In the following weeks after that, I started noticing that something was wrong, as Legal Eagle was negatively reporting on Trump actions week after week, despite the fact that before, while they occasionally cover legal news, the large majority of their videos were on the legality of fictional TV shows and movies,
while I still was uncertain about what Mr Stone biases were, I knew they would only be reporting this much if they truly believed their was an existential threat to the rule of law(the constitution).
While I may not be a lawyer myself, as someone who’s been an American my entire life, and big history nerd who’s heavily studied our nations early history and founding ideals, I recognize that our constitution and bill of rights simply codifies our cultures values,
With the further amendments added to the bill of rights simply further fulfilling the philosophical ideals of the American experiment, such as “all men are created equal”, “separation of powers”, and that “the government only rules with the consent of the governed”, so this is as much a cultural and moral issue as it is a legal and political one, so I naturally felt a need to take a stand.
By the time the no kings protest happened, all doubts were removed from my mind, Trump wasn’t the lesser of 2 evils, their a traitor, their the Ceasar of our generation, I Was Wrong.
For all Trump supporters out there, I understand, it’s scary and hard to admit when you made a mistake, but making mistakes is only human, that’s what makes us people, and many of our countries greatest heroes knew that, and traded their egos and pride for the greater good,
“I may err, notwithstanding my most strenuous efforts to execute the difficult trust with fidelity and unexceptionably; but my errors shall be of the head, not of the heart” - George Washington
“I may be wrong in regard to any or all of them; but holding it a sound maxim, that it is better to be only sometimes right, than at all times wrong, so soon as I discover my opinions to be erroneous, I shall be ready to renounce them” - Abraham Lincoln.
All Americans who admit they were tricked and join our defense of life and liberty, I will never judge, I will embrace and celebrate them all with open arms for being the hero not just our country, but the entire world needs.
