“ Hello, my name is Lars. I’m from Wisconsin. I voted for Trump in 2016. I will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in 2024.

“I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because I cannot stand the platform the Republican Party is running on now. It is a frightening collection of things that they wanna do to change the power structure in the federal government, and also eliminate agencies and services that the federal government has provided so far, and that will cause a great deal of hardship for citizens across the country.

“January 6th, to me, was an abhorrent moment in American history. The fact that I watched our Capitol under attack, at the attempt to block the certification of our presidential election by a group of rabble-rousers, and people who had been invited there by the president of the United States to disrupt this proceeding in whatever way they could. Certainly, the language wasn’t direct, and hey, everybody go out and start taking the Capitol apart. But he’s the one who invited them at that date, at that time to come together, and they knew what that meant. So I was horrified by that it happened, and I was even more horrified to hear the people called Patriots at the end of it and asked to go peacefully away after the damage and harm they had done.

“I feel the policies that Donald Trump is suggesting are dangerous to America. And I feel that the country needs to return to if you will, a kinder, gentler nation. And I think the empathy and compassion the Democratic party can display and provide for the issues at hand, is what is needed as opposed to the authoritarian, hard-nosed, and sometimes potentially violent tactics of the right.”
