Voting for Trump remains the only logical oppositional choice

I do not regret my vote for president Trump in 2024. Not one iota, not one bit. And, frankly, I find the entire conversation about regret pretty confusing because here is the thing. The alternative would have been president Kamala Harris. That's the whole thing. It would have been Kamala Harris, and then it was Donald Trump.

The alternative was a President Kamala Harris administration

Under Joe Biden, DEI, equity was going to be inserted into every area of federal law, and it was. And then president Trump came in and he abolished it. If president Trump were to not be president, if Kamala Harris had been president, not only would it be there, it would be strengthened. And not only would it be strengthened, it would be bleeding through every area of our society.

Trump successfully ended net immigration at the southern border

President Trump pledged he was going to close the border, and then you know what he did. He came in and he closed the border. And it turns out that for the first time in modern history, we actually have a net loss in terms of the people coming into the country. People are leaving the country faster than they are coming into the country. People are just not coming through the southern border.

DEI was effectively abolished across all federal agencies

The president of The United States removed DEI from every area of the federal government, which is a good thing because DEI is basically the statement that your race ought to matter more than your individual merit. It is a rejection of the ethos of Martin Luther King Junior in favor of an ethos of polarization and segmentation of the American population.

Gender ideology was successfully removed from medical institutions

President Trump reversed the trans issue. He issued executive orders to that effect and the newfound freedom to say what is perfectly true and state action happening across the country to bar the mutilation of children and medical institutions suddenly coming out and admitting the obvious, which is that they never had any evidence for this kind of torture that they were foisting upon young people.

Light regulation is why America is winning AI race

There's a reason AI is being developed in The United States and not in Europe, and there's a reason The United States is winning the AI war. And you can quibble with president Trump's decisions on everything from tariffs to crypto schemes. But the reality is that if Democrats were in control of the economy, all they care about is redistribution of poverty, not creation of prosperity.

Foreign policy focused on strength and disabling Iranian nukes

Maybe what you regret is that president Trump bombed an Iranian nuclear facility at Fordo, setting back their nuclear program. Or maybe what you regret is that president Trump is the first president in any of our lifetimes to take truly seriously the threat of Iran to the extent necessary to actually set them back decades in their pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Conservative judicial appointments have protected essential religious freedoms

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of religious freedom and in favor of states being in charge of their own abortion policy. So what is it that you regret? Federal courts are being staffed by people who actually care about the constitution as opposed to people who do not. Is that the thing that you regret if you regret having voted for president Trump?
