Why I will never vote for Donald Trump or anyone like him

Those who often make claims they cannot back up with proof, are not trustworthy enough for the nation's most powerful office. 

Example: Trump on peaceful transition if he loses: 'Get rid of the ballots' and 'there won't be a transfer' (nbcnews.com)

Those who abuse the justice system by using their fame and money hamper the flow of the legal system to save their skin by suing and appealing when no appeal is reasonable, do not deserve to help determine who sits on the highest court in the land.

Example: Supreme Court takes center stage in the Trump legal battles (nbcnews.com)

Those who use their fame and power to trigger mob violence do not deserve to lead a nation with nuclear weapon capability.

Example 1: Donald Trump tells Proud Boys to 'stand back and stand by' at debate (usatoday.com)

Example 2: Jan. 6 report: Trump 'lit that fire' of Capitol insurrection | AP News

Those who choose to ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

1. Focus on a scapegoat. 

Example 1: Why Were the Jews Persecuted? | History Today

Example 2: Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric makes inroads with some Democrats | AP News

2. Make the economy the fault of the scapegoat

Example 1: Exclusion of Jews from German Economic Life | Holocaust Encyclopedia (ushmm.org)

Example 2: U.S. Job Numbers Show Immigration Opponents Wrong About The Economy (forbes.com)

3. Elect a leader who is addicted to power and uses Numbers 1 and 2 to attain power.

Example 1. Adolf Hitler is named chancellor of Germany | January 30, 1933 | HISTORY

Example 2: The 2024 US Presidential Election?
