A recent article in The Inquirer about young voters turning to Trump notes some young voters’ frustration with the economy, that they “have to work two jobs” and that they see Trump as a “rebel” against an establishment that doesn’t care for them. Another likes that Trump is “brutally honest.” Their world is simple, a dream to own a house and to vacation down the Shore. That’s not asking for much, but is Trump really the alternative that will get them there? It’s incumbent upon us all to recognize Trump’s “brutal honesty” and take heed. In Trump’s recent rally in Las Vegas, Trump’s campaign pitch was brutally clear. “We need every vote. I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.” This is reminiscent of Melania’s olive jacket fashion statement, “I really don’t care Do U?” Listen. Trump insists that the 2020 election was stolen from him. He wrote, “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” At the Libertarian Convention, Trump tried to buy votes, promising to put a Libertarian in his Cabinet, and to pardon Libertarian Ross Ulbricht who is serving a life sentence. When the audience didn’t immediately fawn over him, he mocked the crowd, “If you want to lose, keep doing that, keep getting your 3% every four years.” When asked about abortion rights and states monitoring pregnant women, Trump’s brutal honesty went into hiding as he ducked and passed the buck, stating, “The states are going to make that decision. They have to be comfortable.” Yet in 2016, Trump said, “There has to be some form of punishment” for women who have abortions. What message is Trump actually sending? He wants your vote. He will say anything to get it. There is more at stake here than the simple dream of a home and vacations down the Shore. Trump’s words are full of glitter and false promise, yet hold moments of stark clarity: “I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.” That’s the brutally honest truth.
