By most measures, I’d been categorized as a younger liberal. I am a 22-year-old school learner. I interned for a Republican in the U. S. Senate. I was elected leader of my past school’s Republican team. No one would problem me for a democratic advocate.
However, if you had questioned me a year ago about the 2024 presidential vote, I would have said that I had been optimistic that Donald Trump would become the Republican Party. Even though I did n’t like much about Joe Biden, I would have back Trump even though I did.
I firmly believe that Trump must get stopped at all costs.
I gladly watched the Jan. 6 Committee trials. Letitia James, the attorney general of New York State, filed a lawsuit against Trump for financial scam. I was optimistic that he might be overthrown for good when constitutional scientists from the Federalist Society wrote that his 14th Amendment ban on holding office would eventually be overturned. I anticipated justice may soon be served against the person who had plunged our nation to its verge when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago.
Although I initially thought the Democratic Party’s plans were dangerous, I still believed that momentary damages were justifiable if it prevented Trump from regaining control.
But over the past month, my perspective of Trump has evolved, and my perspective of the broader social environment has also changed. I quickly realized that while Trump is far from ideal, he is not the real philosophical danger. The Democrat Party and Kamala Harris pose the greatest threat to our existence.
The Democrat Party is putting in danger the foundations that keep America up. No matter how immediate this risk is, the Democrats ‘ design and security of an immigration system that completely disregards integration and favors the interests of visitors over those of the American persons are the most immediate examples.
America is certainly only a set of principles. We are a unique cultural and political unit as a country. We are a people whose history and traditions are woven together by a much larger personality than the paper on which our founding papers were written.
I learned in the last year that we are deciding what kind of country we want to sit in for the rest of our lives rather than just voting for the next four years. This is especially true for people my age. The America that my classmates and I will visit home for the rest of our lives and how we will raise our families is currently being created.
The extreme immigration program that Americans are being subjected to is not just a policy change, but also a basic restoration of our country. We are at a critical point in the history of which our values and cultural heritage have for generations been undermined, and if we do n’t act decisively, we run the risk of losing the essence of what it means to be American.
Our establishing traditions, standards, and traditions— including our long-held belief in free talk — are eroding. An immigration program that disregards these fundamental factors is destroying our respected national character. A significant flow of refugees who, in the truest sense, are international are displaced in our country. The difficulty of instilling a common sense of belonging and individuality is almost unavoidable due to the sheer volume of newcomers.
We need to experience this fact. Current immigration changes are untenable. Untold thousands of migrants are a fundamental issue for the country because they are receiving ever-increasing sympathizing from an ever-expanding security position and being subjected to ever-decreasing assimilation forces.
Instead of fostering cohesion, we are creating a shattered world. Individuals are retreating into communities, separated by speech, society, and principles, with a diminishing sense of shared regional identity. The immigration plans that have been implemented in our nation in recent years must not only be stopped right away, but also swift action must be taken to change them. Then, we run the risk of sustaining our drop into a divided community and failing to maintain the cohesion necessary for our survival as a unified individuals.
We are on the verge of a future in which America ceases to exist meaningfully if we allow this social disintegration to proceed. Our nation is on the verge of degenerating into a hollowed-out type of what it once was, with our social potential being sacrificed to appease the left and its self-loathing, even if the United States manages to survive as a government.
This is the reason I’ve changed my opinion of Donald Trump. He is not the ideal candidate, but only one who is willing to face the biggest threat: the Democrats’, Joe Biden’s, and Kamala Harris ‘ foolish immigration policies, which have irreversibly damaged our cultural and political material.
We cannot manage to get shortsighted. It would have been impossible for me to declare this a year ago, but in 2024, I’m supporting Donald Trump because he’s the only one who is willing to take decisive action to protect America’s potential.
