I am a college-educated, suburban, first-generation Latino immigrant.
I voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012. I find President Trump to
lack the basic moral character that we should expect in our political
leaders and did not consider, even for a moment, voting for him in 2016.
After watching how Senate Democrats and the media handled the
nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, however, I will be voting Republican in
2018 and for Trump in 2020.
When I came to the United States, I left a country that had recently undergone a military coup. My family experienced first-hand what happens when those in power abandon the rule of law. We saw the devastation that comes to a society when men of power believe their political objectives so justified that they are willing to pursue them by any means necessary. In the eyes of those men of power, we could see the deadening of souls that occurs when a man’s perceived benevolence blinds him to his own tyranny.
During the Kavanaugh hearings I saw that same look in the eyes of Senate Democrats. The hearings made clear that the Democrats on the committee were not interested in pursuing the truth or respecting Christine Blasey Ford’s desire for anonymity. Instead, they simply sought to delay the vote in the hopes of winning the next election.
