Hey there, and happy Tuesday! As we’re one week out from election day, I wanted to talk with you about something that I’ve been mulling over the past couple of months. I’m sure the title gives away what that is. It’s a long post, but one that I needed to write. As always, my comments section is open and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

The case against Trump is obvious

I’ve railed against Donald Trump consistently on this site. The argument against him is an easy one to make. I’ll briefly cover the bases:

• He caused 30-40% of COVID deaths

• He’s racist

• He lies to demonize and threaten immigrants

• He fanboys over dictators

• He literally forcibly raped E. Jean Carroll

• He’s a storied sex pest and serial cheater

• He’s a habitual liar

• He tried to steal an election

• 90% of his former cabinet members refuse to endorse him

And if that wasn’t enough, his rally on Sunday night might have just been the kicker. From endorsers calling Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage” and making jokes about black people “carving watermelons” to supporters explicitly calling the gathering “a Nazi rally,” shame was difficult to find at Madison Square Garden this weekend. What’s worse is that the campaign pre-read these speeches, meaning that the “jokes” about Jews being cheap and Palestinians being “rock throwers” had the tacit endorsement of the Trump team.

Those links all lead to evidence if you’re unconvinced or think I’m lying. The most obviously damning thing for me though, is that he was found by a court of law consisting of Republicans and Democrats alike to have forcibly penetrated the vagina of E. Jean Carroll against her will. If that—or any of the other stated reasons—aren’t enough for you to at least not support Donald Trump, this article isn’t for you.

So we’ve established that voting for Trump is unacceptable.

But what’s the case for Harris?

It’s one thing to say “don’t vote for Trump.” I’ve made that argument plenty of times on this site. But I’ve only sort of touched on making a possible conservative case for Harris. And even then, I ended the article with this:

But as I’ve thought more about the issue and read more about the impacts of their plans, I’ve come to the conclusion that there isn’t a conservative case for Harris; voting for Harris is the only truly conservative option here.
