“ Hi, my name’s Jake. I’ve been a lifelong conservative and I’m voting for Kamala Harris in 2024. I voted for Trump in 2016. I didn’t really know him when he got in. I thought, okay, let’s see what he can do. You know, he claims he’s gonna drain the swamp. Little did I know, he is the swamp.

“I’m a retired, commissioned officer. I swore an oath to defend democracy and the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And he is a threat to democracy. He is an enemy of the country. And now in 2024, I see that he’s a convicted felon. He’s talked about suspending the constitution, talking about being a dictator on day one.

“Well, I’m also a historian, so, I’ve got a master’s in World War II history. Once you’re a dictator, one day, you don’t stop. And the fear of him getting in back into office, it’s just too dangerous. We cannot allow that.

“I served in the military 14 and a half years, when Trump started talking about McCain not being a hero I was disgusted. Nobody said anything, nobody argued the point, you know, they just let it go like it was okay. And then I hear that he called, you know, service members, losers and suckers. Well, I’m not a loser and I’m not a sucker. I didn’t have bone spurs, sorry. You know, I worked hard, I, you know, had a career in the military and I was very successful. But Donald Trump just wimped out, came up with bone spurs, and got deferments over and over again. So he’s the real loser.

“JD Vance, he comes out with these weird statements. He’s just a weird guy. I’m just gonna parrot the comments because it’s true. He says weird things. He served in the Marine Corps, that’s admirable, you know, but why is he talking trash about Tim Walz?

“You know, he knows as well as I do, he was a Sergeant Major, why are you knocking him? You know, he served his career, he did his time, that’s BS. The other thing that sickens me is I used to like JD Vance, he talked about, you know, Trump was America’s Hitler and he was a never-Trumper guy.

“And now I just see him as, you know, he sold out just like Ted Cruz, just like all these guys. I mean, they disgust me. It’s not that I’m not a Republican anymore, but I can’t go where the Republican party went. Trump talks about people being RINOs, Republican in name only, he’s the RINO, dude’s more democratic than Hillary before he ran. You know, don’t gimme that crap. He’s garbage, he was more liberal than Hillary before he started running in ’16. That’s ridiculous, just ridiculous. So JD Vance, he’s a sellout. He’s gonna say whatever he has to say to get, you know, a leg up and, you know, I just I don’t have any respect for him.

“As far as Harris goes, first of all she’s younger, but she is, yeah she’s 60, but that’s like the new 45, right? And so she’s got the energy, do I agree with her policy wise? Some stuff, yes, some stuff, no, right.

“Tim Walz, he’s a down to earth guy, retired Sergeant Major, I can get on board with that. You know, he seems to just have common sense and be a regular person. He’s not weird like, you know, JD Vance. He’s not a sellout. He just, he speaks his mind and I just see him as like, okay, this guy’s normal, I can get on board with that.

“And every time I hear Trump or Vance talk, I just like, wanna pull my hair out. It’s like, oh my God, these guys, they drive me crazy.

“Nothing but lies. Nothing but misinformation. You know? I’m just, I’m over it. I’m over it.

“So, Harris and Walz, let’s go. Let’s do it. I’m ready for them to win, you know, country over party any day.”
