I voted for Donald Trump. Like Tucker Carlson, I will be tormented by that decision forevermore.

“It’s not enough to say, ‘Well I changed my mind,’ or like, ‘Oh this is bad, I’m out.’ It’s like in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now,” said Carlson.

How many of you out there stepped on dogshit like Carlson and I did? Don't be shy. Speak up if you are an American. We need to go through the steps for self-redemption:

Step 1: Admit that Trump took control of our life.

Step 2: Embrace the belief that a power beyond ourselves can restore our well-being.

Step 3: Decide to let that Higher Power guide our choices in the mid-terms this November.

I don't really know what to make of you. You don't speak or act like an American. You come across as a foreigner who is trying to learn American ways and to fit in, but you aren't entirely successful. It's strange to me that you were born and raised in Manhattan, again, you sound like a foreigner trying to pass as an American.

You are pretty astute. As I told you my father was an investment banker. Mom was in the fashion business. Very soon after I was born, they took me along on their clothes making business venture in China. They were among the first Americans to venture there after Nixon and Kissinger normalized relations with the Chinese. I was a 3-month old baby in Shanghai with my parents who were supplying clothing made there for fashion brands (Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Gap, etc) in New York. I stayed there with them traveling back and forth till I was old enough to go to school. Mom is a snob. She made sure I did not grow up with a provincial American mind. After grade school, she sent me abroad to boarding schools in France. Mom makes sure I am not American. She would insist that I drive only BMWs and would howl when she comes to visit and find American beer in my fridge. I now drink only Peroni and Asahi Super Dry. Am I a foreigner to you now?

I have no idea if you are telling me the truth. I don't think you are being 100% honest, but perhaps in general, you are telling me as much truth as you can.

Why would I lie to you for? We are not here to get personal but only to discuss politics. Why do you care if I am American or not? There are a lot of non-Americans here.

I don't buy that you are truly interested in a discussion. Your entire profile is about how everyone and everything is corrupt, and only you seem to see the truth. That's not a very humble or accepting attitude that I would expect to see in someone who is truly engaging genuinely, trying to learn and contribute to the discussion.

You make me laugh. What's the matter with you? Forget my profile. Ok, I am not American. Focus on the topic and our respective arguments.

I also don't get why you aren't replying to the thread we have and keep creating a new one to reply to the conversation we are having.

I guess I am like Trump with the short attention span and flits around from one news cycle to another.
