Every Voter Should Vote for Himself and his Family, not for a Political Party
Op-ed by

It is
abundantly clear that Trump is waging a war on the majority of Americans, known
as the ‘working class.’ It is no secret that his loyalty is to his oligarchs;
902 billionaires. No indivdual who makes less than $100,000 per year can trust
Trump or his party.
There is one
irrefuttable truth: if you vote for a Republican, you are voting for the
continuation of our current plutocracy, and a plutocracy cannot exist in a
democratic society.
I am proud
to have been an Independent voter from the beginning. Eligible in 1967, my
first opportunity to cast my ballot was in 1968. The tragic event on June 6,
1968 when Robert F. Kennedy was murdered, forced me to look closely at every
candidate, Democratic and Republican. Prior to that dark day, my choice had
been clear.
I won’t
reveal which candidate received my vote, but I will tell you that I questioned
why anyone would vote for a party, and not the best candidate. It makes no
sense to surrender your precious vote to the candidates of a single party. As I
learned in 1968, neither major party’s nominees are all the best available in
any election. I did not want to be a “lazy American voter.” I researched every candidate
available and chose the man or woman whose beliefs and policies were closest to
my own.
However, I must
be entirely truthful. Since 2000, I have been unable to vote for a single “Republican.”
Today’s GOP Party in no way resembles Republicans in 1968. Its demise began in
1981 and by 2000, it was complete. “Republicans” moved so far to the right it
has become The American Nazi Party in 2025.
If you
continue to believe in the men and women who call themselves “Republicans”
today, think about these undeniable facts.
In 1992,
Democrat Bill Clinton became America’s 42nd president. His primary
purpose would be to save our nation’s economy. Both Ronald Reagan and George
H.W. Bush failed miserably. Both men adopted the fiscal policy known as “trickle-down
economics.”
Clinton
inherited an escalating unemployment rate, and a growing deficit which had
reached 4.065 trillion dollars. When he left office in 2001, America’s economy
was flourishing.
On January
20, 2001, Republican George W. Bush was inaugurated and became our 43rd
president. He also chose to use the failed policy of “trickle-down economics.”
This, combined with placing our nation in two unwinnable and illegal wars,
brought about the Great Recession. Foreclosures on homes across America were all
too common, and the quality of life for the majority declined dramatically.
Democrat Barack
Obama became our 44th president. He selected the most qualified men
and women in the nation, charging them with the rescue of our nation’s economy.
When he left office in 2017, America was in full recovery. He and his
administration also passed several social programs which improved the lives of
the working class and all Americans.
On November
8, 2016, a Republican, and the least qualified man in our nation became the 45th
President of the United States. However, the election was the result of failures
by the mainstream media, James Comey, a large number of misogynistic voters,
and the efforts of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump was allowed
to wear the title of president on January 20, 2017.
His first
actions were clear violations of the Law of the Land. He made it perfectly
clear that he had no respect for the Constitution.
Trump had
also adopted trickle-down economics. When he was notified about the probability
of a deadly threat to our country’s people in the form of a coronavirus in December
of 2019, he did nothing. In January of 2020, he lied to the American people,
telling us “it will just go away.”
When he was
evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021, unemployment was massive,
small businesses were closing their doors, many forever, and America was
nearing a depression. He also added eight trillion dollars to the national debt
while his personal businesses made an additional 1.7 billion dollars. More than
one million Americans died from the effects of Covid-19.
Democrat Joe
Biden became our nation’s 46th president. His first action was to
save lives. He and his very competent administration created a plan to distribute
the Covid-19 vaccine to all Americans. Next, he issued checks to everyone in
our nation to aid in stimulating the economy and reduce the unemployment rate.
Small businesses began to reopen, and with the passing of a bill to repair our
nation’s infrastructure, America’s economy began to grow, and the quality of
life for 340 people was moving in an upward direction. Biden’s economy will be
known by historians as the most successful in modern history after Bill Clinton’s.
Now for the
worst part of this story.
On November
5, 2024, Trump won another election. America’s tech companies began to question
the results, as did I. When comparing 2020 and 2024, the results appeared to be
extremely questionable.
At least one
tech company claimed that Russian hackers had accessed the voting machines in
all seven ‘swing states,’ making Trump an illegitimate president for the second
time.
However. The
worst man in the world was inaugurated on January 20, 2025 although every
member of our corrupt government knew the truth and did nothing.
If I thought
Trump was horrific between 2017 and 2021, Trump 2.0 became 100 times worse
immediately.
Today, October
17, 2025, our nation is in chaos and our economy is shaky at best. He is openly
following his own fascist manifesto, Project 2025, and, thanks to a corrupt
Supreme Court, is being allowed to abuse presidential powers, obstruct justice,
and remove the Constitutional rights of millions of good and honest people. He
is now the first, and hopefully last, Fuhrer of the United States of Amerca.
Our economy
is once again in control of right-wing politicians, and it is in steep decline.
Thank you to
everyone who voted for the worst president in history once again. You “Made
America White Again,” and one of the worst nation’s in the world.
