To @TheDemocrats,
This is my career suicide note, but it’s also a thank you from someone who is done with careerism. I’m a lifelong member of your party and I’m voting for Donald Trump. Why? It’s not just your industrial-scale censorship or your endless wars or the fact that you disenfranchised millions of Kennedy voters through lawfare. If that were all I had, it would be sufficient, in terms of conscience and rage, but there’s more to this story than anger. Your hatred and censorship has taught me to admire @realDonaldTrump and to love my fellow working-class Americans, and for that I thank you.
This vote is for all the traumatized people who have been canceled and banished just for saying no to the establishment. This vote is for the surveyor, the farmer, the HVAC man, the nurse, the hairstylist, the Deadhead, the veteran, and my fellow adjunct professors who have told me their stories about being bullied by the Democrats in their friends and family and their colleagues at work. This is for the young Black woman in my class last year who, on the day of Kamala Harris’s visit to campus, said, “You’re going to hate me, Dr. Armstrong, but I’m not going. I’m voting for Donald Trump.” Why would she think I would hate her for the way she votes? What has happened to our country?
Somehow, Donald Trump has changed my mind. Where I once saw a cartoon white supremacist, warmonger, and narcissist, I now see the man who renegotiated NAFTA and the only president in the twenty-first century not to start a new war. Where I once saw the pal of the neocons, I now see a man who has awoken from his slumber and disavowed Dick Cheney, George Bush, and John Bolton, even as my own party embraces these “men.”
Why has the greatest entrepreneur of my generation (@elonmusk) risked his career to side with Trump? Why has the most consequential grassroots environmentalist of my time (@RobertKennedyJr) sacrificed friends, family, and reputation to side with “The Orange Menace?” Why has the most courageous peace activist of the twenty-first century (@TulsiGabbard) left our party? Because Tulsi, Bobby, and Elon see what I see. Donald Trump is resilient and he’s risking his life to change the fate of our nation. Trump is transforming the Republican Party into the party of peace, free speech, and the working-class. He has converted George Bush’s billionaire boys club of Big War, Big Ag, and Big Pharma into a party that cares about public health and embraces regenerative agriculture.
Now I don’t think the GOP is all the way there yet, but they’re clearly the party that embraces dissent, and dissent—brave speech—is the fuel for evolution. So, for the first time in my life, I’m voting Republican. In the name of peace in Ukraine and free speech here at home, I’m casting my vote, as a Kennedy Democrat, for Donald Trump.

Loving the comments on this post!
TEACHERS FOR CHOICE has not yet endorsed Donald Trump for President as our Steering Committee is still divided.
However, the MAHA virtual town hall coming tomorrow (10-8-24) is very, very encouraging. It appears the Trump team is starting to recognize that MAHA is going to play a big role in whether Trump is elected or not. One thing many TEACHERS FOR CHOICE followers are concerned about is how FOOD issues seem to be pushing out issues with pharmaceutical products (drugs, vaccines, etc...) Obviously ALL of these issues are important, but the medical freedom fighter is a very skeptical animal - not easily won over as we've been BURNED many times before.
Can't wait to see the town hall!!!
Thank you, as a lifelong very active democrat and Kennedy supporter, I am happily voting for DJT. You said everything I believe, the Dems shoved us out, changed their platform and embraced things I don’t support. DJT on the other hand was
Welcoming, thoughtful and patient. He is aligned to much of Kennedys platform on health, ending war, securing borders. I look forward to Nov. when I cast my vote for him and the Republican Party.
Finally, after watching the incorrect representation of RFK jr repeatedly on mainstream media I asked myself, could they ever have misrepresented DJT the same way. It helped me switch from the Orange Man to seeing him as someone standing up to big gov for the Am. people.
