OPINION
You Hate Trump? So What?
Dennis Prager | Sep 11, 2024
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.
A great many Americans claim that they cannot vote for former President Donald Trump because they loathe him.
That was also their argument in 2016 and 2020.
That argument was childish in 2016 and 2020, and it remains childish in 2024.
I say "childish" because mature people don't vote on the basis of whom they like. They vote on the basis of which candidate is best for their country. As I asked both eight years ago and four years ago, other than friends and a spouse, whom do you choose based on how much you like a person? Do you choose your surgeon on that basis? If you or a loved one had cancer and were presented with a choice of two surgeons, one known to be an honorable man and loyal husband, the other known for his abrasive personality and for being a womanizer but also known as one of the best cancer surgeons in the country, which would you choose?
We all know the answer. So, why would you choose a president based on marital fidelity or personality traits?
Though they always mention Trump "the liar" (as far as truth-telling is concerned, Trump is Abe Lincoln compared to President Joe Biden), Trump "the adulterer," Trump "the mean," and now Trump "the felon" (although no one can tell you what he was charged with), Trump haters would respond that those are not the only reasons why they would never vote for Trump. He is, they constantly tell us, a threat to democracy.
Trump haters have to say that -- because they know that merely listing his alleged and actual obnoxious personal traits makes them look foolish. The problem, however, is that the claim that Trump would end democracy in America is baseless. He was already president for four years, and he in no way threatened democracy.
Of course, Trump haters will point to Jan. 6 -- and only to Jan. 6, because they have no other example from all four years of the Trump presidency of Trump allegedly threatening democracy.
