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.”

IMHO: The best place to see the Kinetic Sculpture Race is at the Manila Community Center on Saturday at about 1 PM. They have live music, beverages, food, bathrooms and Kiddee rides... On Eureka's North Jetty Peninsula near Samoa Cookhouse. The Sculptures all stop there and change tires to prepare for traveling on the beach... and down DEAD MANS DROP... a very steep sand dune.

Legalize Marijuana Nationwide, Tax It and Free All the Cannabis Prisoners

A Dramatic Savings of Government Spending CURRENTLY WASTED On Law Enforcement and Incarceration and a MASSIVE INCREASE IN VOLUNTARY TAXES! Everybody Wins! We Could Use the Extra Money to Pay for Education and Healthcare for All.

If you don’t smoke you wouldn’t pay a cent. It’s a Win-Win situation. More money going into the Treasury and Less going out.  In addition, states that have legal medical marijuana have fewer deaths due to opioid addiction. Some people simply choose the safer drug… DUH…

I Did a Scientific Experiment On How Drugs Effect My Skill Level Playing Chess.

Results: Coffee Made Me Play Better. Alcohol and Marijuana Made me Worse. LSD Made Me Reject the Entire Idea of Tests and I Refused to Play Games…

It was a Simple Test and You Could Recreate it Yourself for a “PEER REVIEW” – I owned a Chess Computer that Played at Different Skill Levels… I Took Those Drugs – I Played against the Machine and Determined What Level I Could Beat the Machine… and That’s Why… all these years later… the only drug I take is Coffee… and a Dozen “Doctor Drugs” That Don’t Seem to Do Anything but Don’t Seem to Do Any Harm Either… After All... “One Pill Makes You Larger, and One Pill Makes You Small… and The Ones That Mother Gives You Don’t Do Anything at All…” – Grace Slick
