Disillusioned Anti-Trump Democrat Makes SHOCKING Admission About Who He’s Willing To Vote For In 2020

If this sentiment continues to grow, it could be a real game-changer. …………………………… …………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………

This week senior editor Rod Dreher of The American Conservative highlighted a couple recent emails he’s received from Democrat readers, and one in particular really piqued my attention.

In the email, an unnamed Democrat first began by openly admitting that he pretty much loathes both President Donald Trump and the Republican Party:

“I believe in climate change and America’s responsibility to take policy steps to reduce our contribution to it, I’m anti-NRA, pro-Obamacare to an extent, and detest the Republican Party generally. The day after Trump got elected, I posted a scathing denunciation of everyone who had voted for him, which got the millennial social capital gold: hundreds of likes and almost 40 shares, including by several people I didn’t even know.”

Of course, this is to be expected from the average liberal Democrat, so I’m not fretting over it.

He added that he also fears the president because “I believe the danger of having someone as unstable and hair-trigger reactive in charge of the United States military and nuclear arsenal is a disaster waiting to happen.”

Again, this is to be expected.

But it’s what he wrote next that prompted me to exclaim, “Wow!”:

But leaving the nuclear issue aside, the Left’s behavior in the last year has pushed me steadily more and more in the direction of being willing to vote for a sort of lower-key Trump (someone like Ben Shapiro), as strongly as I disagree with him on some issues, because I’m increasingly afraid of what a liberal political hegemony would mean.

In case you’re not already aware, Ben Shapiro is a renowned conservative commentator who prioritizes long-standing conservative principles and mores over capricious, populist-based whims such as, for instance, Trump’s idea of imposing steel tariffs.

As a result, he’s built a reputation for being brutally critical of the president when necessary. Just to be clear, though, Shapiro has no qualms about praising Trump if and when he acts in ways befitting a Republican president, e.g., when he pulled America out of the senseless Paris climate accord last year.

Shapiro’s fervent willingness to essentially “keep it real” — no matter who he offends — has in turn won him many fans among the right, the center and, apparently, even the left as well.

Returning to the the letter to Dreher, the unnamed Democrat continued by highlighting example after example after example of leftist academics, media pundits, lawmakers and everyday Americans attempting to use manipulation, intimidation and allegations of “hate speech,” “fascist” and “alt-right” to silent dissenting opinions.

He further argued that it’s because of this growing behavior by his fellow liberals that he and other disillusioned Democrats like him have begun to consider voting for someone such as Shapiro come 2020:

“The fact is, I don’t want to live in a country where the only views permitted in public debates (if they can be termed ‘debates’ at all) are the ones deemed acceptable by enraged Twitter mobs, and where expressing a perfectly reasonable, measured claim (‘America should prioritize its own working class over that of illegal immigrants, while still doing what we can to help the Dreamers’) publicly can put you at quite reasonable fear of getting doxxed and subsequently losing your job and health insurance.”

Well said.

It’s ironic, if you think about it. Leftists purport to want to root out fascism and create a more “fair” and “justice” society. Yet their actions and rhetoric make it clear that the society they would ultimately create were they afforded the opportunity would be a totalitarian hellhole not too dissimilar from Nazi Germany.

It’s almost as if, in their endless quest to root out the imaginary fascism they see all around them, some liberals are slowly but surely transforming into fascists themselves …
