Best Quora Answer Ever! 🙌 By Republican, Author, Minister and journalist, William Weir!!!!
“Can a liberal actually give a good reason not to vote for Trump?”
“Lifelong conservative and former Republican here, but I’ll give it a shot.
In 2016 we knew he was completely unqualified. He had absolutely no understanding of the job or the Constitution. His argument for why he was qualified was that he was a successful businessman. A “successful” businessman who repeatedly filed bankruptcy, repeatedly defrauded his customers, repeatedly cheated his investors, and repeatedly refused to pay contractors. But the chief reason conservatives vote Republican is out of some sense of morality. Yet this man bragged that he was a habitual sex offender, and admitted to being a pedophile. The only thing worse than his business record was his record on relationships, as he’s a serial adulterer with kids by at least three different women all of whom he cheated on. Add to that his refusal to disavow hate groups and white supremacists who supported him, his refusal to say he would accept the outcome of the election. Not to mention his own hate speech, encouraging violence at his rallies, and even mocking a reporter’s disability.
By the end of 2019, he had proven himself to be both corrupt and incompetent. He appointed white supremacists, unqualified campaign donors, and his own children to positions of power. He had already set a record for indictments, guilty pleas and criminal convictions of members of an administration. He routinely violated the Emoluments Clause and the Hatch Act, and repeatedly abused his office for personal gain. His trade war had increased the trade deficit, bankrupted American farmers forcing us to spend billions on bailouts, closed almost 2,000 American factories and killed 300,000 American jobs, and had driven up technology prices. His tax bill had slowed economic growth by two thirds, with Dow growth and the drop in unemployment both falling by about that amount in comparison to under Obama policies. The Fed started lowering interest rates for the first time since Obama was President to combat the economic slowdown, and Trump himself complained they didn’t do more to prevent a recession. He had already increased the deficit every year, maintained a debt to GDP ratio over 100% every year of his term—neither of which any President had ever done before. By the end of the year, he had been impeached, and would soon become the first President to have a Senator from his own party vote for his conviction
Then in 2020, the pandemic came and he ignored sound advice, instead pretending the virus was being exaggerated, refusing to take simple common sense measures to slow the spread, instead floating fake cures and encouraging his supporters to break the laws being put in place by state and local officials to protect their communities. As a result, we saw the largest number of new unemployment claims in history, the largest spike in unemployment since the Great Depression, and the largest point drops in the history of the Dow. His reaction was to create the largest deficit in history—double the previous record—to bail out corporations, prop up the stock market, and to pay people not to work. With gas prices at the lowest of his presidency, he forced OPEC into a two year deal to slash production to create a global oil shortage to drive up fuel prices and boost profits for oil companies.
Now as we move into 2024, since the 2020 election, he incited an insurrection where it seems he hoped his supporters would murder his own Vice President in hopes that the President Pro Tempore of the Senate might certify the fake electors he sent to Washington and steal the election. This is after making ridiculous false claims of fraud while calling states and asking them to manufacture votes for him. This led to his unprecedented second impeachment with even more Senators from his own party voting for his conviction. On his way out the door he illegally withdrew 5,000 troops from Afghanistan to sabotage our operations there. Then we found out he stole classified documents, mishandled them, denied having them, falsely claimed he had declassified them with his mind, and refused to return them, forcing a warrant to be issued to search his home. And now he’s been indicted for falsifying business records to cover up paying off a porn star so she wouldn’t disclose that he paid her for sex while he was married to his current porn star wife.
And I’m leaving out so much. Shutting down the government for the longest time in history because his own party wouldn’t fund his wall. Encouraging Russian interference in the 2016 election and committing at least ten acts of obstruction of justice to cover his actions. Freeing 5,000 Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan. Freeing thousands more ISIS terrorists in Syria. Committing a war crime by ordering the assassination of an Iranian general in violation of international treaties. Tweeting a classified photo. Forgetting what country he bombed. Redrawing a Hurricane projection map with a sharpie. Covfefe…
In short, we knew he was an incompetent, corrupt, unqualified moron in 2016. He demonstrated that in great detail during his miserable presidency, and now he keeps demonstrating how horrible a person he is on a daily basis even after leaving office.
Maybe a liberal can give you a few more things as well.”

Fire Tending Meditation: A Way to Focus Attention. When at the Rainbow Gathering in Utah 2014 I was given the opportunity. Here is what happened... READ MORE:

While at the Welcome Home Kitchen, the Fire Tender wanted to go to another kitchen and trade a cooler filled with coffee for pizza. He asked if someone would watch the fire while he was gone. SOMEONE had to be there... I volunteered. I Said "I'll be here. I'll be the responsible adult. I can do that, I have done that."

he said "Great" and Left with the cooler filled with coffee.

So I took over and made sure we didn't burn down the forest. I also collected wood, placed it carefully on the fire arranging the logs so that they would burn without causing a lot of smoke AND I invited arriving people to help themselves to a cup of coffee or clean drinking water... and to take a break and relax around the fire.

This is a classic way to focus attention as the placement of logs on the fire is very similar to Zen Gardening with sand...

So, during this time... I asked for a Really Big Idea... I had attended Rainbow Gatherings before and I wanted each visit to be different. It's pointless and boring to keep on repeating experiences... so, this time I wanted to get a really big Idea...

and here it is: A Solar Fire powered Desalinization Machine. Use a driftwood fire to power a steam engine. Use the force from the steam engine to drive a water pump. Pump seawater thru a pipe in the fire and into a long black pipe with a reflector that focuses sunlight on the pipe. When the water boils, it expands in volume... at the end of the pipe, steam will be billowing out with a great deal of force. Use that force to drive an electricity generating turbine. Collect the steam and let it turn back into a liquid... The result is Pure H20, NaCl and Electricity... all valuable and sell able.

Clean safe drinking water is a big problem. We could use the collected steam for drinking, bathing, livestock, gardens... AND making Ice for a really great Scotch on the Rocks.

To make this practical, the location of the machine would need to be near a big pile of driftwood. On Agate Beach in California, I have seen a pile of driftwood that covers the entire beach for about a half a mile... In other locations, use whatever resource is available. For Example: In Saudi Arabia it would make more sense to burn oil or gas...

So, during my meditation I Got my really big idea... Or So I Thought... However... Just By Magical Action of the Universe... It Turns Out The THIS WAS NOT THE REALLY BIG IDEA... It Just So Happened that I MET A WOMAN who was teaching a Spiritual Healing Guided Meditation Class... and I Did It... and I Liked It... and I Took Her Business Card... and I've Been Attending Her Online Seminars For Years! Sonya Sophia... https://www.worldtappingcircle.com/



Later, the fire tender returned and his mission to get pizza was successful.

Much later I was sitting by the fire and another Rainbow Gatherer approached... He said mockingly: "Have you been sitting in that same spot for two days?" Which was true, I did spend a couple of days at the Welcome Home Tent.

I replied: "No, I also worked as the fire tender... That gave me an opportunity to Focus My Attention... [said slowly] Focus... My... Attention... "

The fire tender was listening and he nodded with understanding... Later we ended up hanging out together and he was a fine fellow... He was also very interested in being in the Cleanup Crew... I assume he got paid a lot in valuable stuff left behind.

Long ago I was playing the drums with some Buddhists at an anti-war protest march... I asked them why we were playing such an odd rhythm... They said that it requires that you Focus Your Attention... It's true... That experience was quite different than bang out a 4/4 on the big bass drum... I also did that at the same protest, our goal was to get George Bush the Father to remember that we didn't LIKE his war... and there were people playing the drums 24 hours a day in Lafayette Park to remind him... His only choices were to listen or flee...
