I will try and answer your question as it pertains to me, I cannot speak for anyone else. And this will be my only post on it in this thread because I do agree with you that US election talk has creeped into far too many threads considering there are already plenty of threads dealing with it.
Why do I support President Trump and not want a President Biden? First, let me say that I do not like the person Donald Trump is. I think he runs his mouth a bit too much, he needs to lay off the Twitter machine way more than he does, and I think he could be
slightly more diplomatic with things sometimes. But the good thing is, you don't need to personally like the person who is running your country. I know that sounds odd, but a person can dislike the person Donald Trump on a personal level, but support him because of the job he is doing/has done for the country since he's been elected. The biggest thing that you have to realize is, you and everyone else in the world always will see the WORST spin put on anything Trump does or says. Even in this country, the mainstream media outlets are completely toxic and blatantly support the American left. Some of these news outlets don't even try to hide that fact, while others do swearing up and down that they are fair, which they most certainly are not. So unless someone were to actually look for it, you will never find a positive news story about President Trump, especially outside the US. So I can completely understand why you or any other non-American would find it odd for people to support President Trump. But again, I don't like Donald Trump the person, I like Donald Trump the President.
President Trump was elected because we needed a change in this country. He didn't try and hide the fact that he was going to put America first, which was music to a lot of people's ears after toiling through 8 years of Obama/Biden in the White House. Trump clamped down on illegal immigration. He cut taxes for working class people. He supports law enforcement. He hasn't started any new wars around the world, and in fact has brought some troops home. He renegotiated trade deals we had in place that didn't benefit the US in any way. He finally stood up to the Chinese. He appointed actual good judges to the federal courts and the US Supreme Court. And he respects the US Constitution, which has been lacking lately in American politics And before the pandemic, the US had the best economy we've had in more than a half century. People had jobs, wages were going up, especially on the lower end, and the country was humming along. Even just recently after 9 months of the pandemic, 56% of Americans polled still said they were better off now than they were 4 years ago. But of course, just like what happened around the world, Covid wrecked the US economy. These are the kinds of things I want in someone that is leading my country.
If we get a President Biden? He's already stated he will immediately repeal the Trump tax cuts, raising taxes on all Americans (although he recently revised that to claim he would only raise taxes on people making more than $400K/year which I think is BS myself). Biden changes his position on everything more often than people change their underwear. He wants to destroy the entire US energy market by completely eliminating all fossil fuels, including oil, coal, natural gas, and fracking/drilling anywhere. This all just after the United States has finally become energy independent and this would cost hundreds of thousands of American jobs as the energy sector is one of the biggest job markets in this country. And that would in turn cripple an economy that is already limping along trying to recover from Covid. He wants to implement more lock downs and a national mask mandate even though more and more healthcare experts are coming out and saying that lockdowns are actually worse than Covid is. And a national mask mandate? That would be an unconstitutional mandate, but he has already hinted that he doesn't care much for the rule of law in this country. He wants to add at least two new states so that the democrats can permanently swing the balance of power in the US senate. They want to abolish the filibuster, which is pretty much the only tool the minority party has in the senate to slow down/prevent the party in power from running roughshod over the entire populace. Because the democrats didn't get their way on the last Supreme Court judge, they want to "pack the court" with democrat judges so that they can make sure the court will side with whatever they want to do. He wants to gut the 2nd Amendment and outlaw and confiscate weapons from law abiding citizens. It's already proven that his family has corrupt dealings in China and Ukraine and if he's in power, there's nothing to indicate that won't continue or get worse. And while Trump hasn't exactly been fiscally conservative, Biden wants to make what Trump spent look like chump change, when we're a country that is already more than $27 trillion (!) in debt. He will cater to the politically correct crowd and the democrats have made no disguise of the fact that they want to enact 'hate speech' laws in this country, meaning that if you hurt someone's feelings, you could be in for criminal prosecution. All those SJW's out there will start to get their way. And Biden and the democrats fully support having the federal government involved in every aspect of the lives of Americans and want to turn the US into a welfare state. And even above and beyond all that, the cherry on top is, Biden is old and weak and fading. There is no way I think he will complete a full term as president, and that would mean that Kamala Harris would become president and as bad as Biden is, she would be 100 times worse.
The democrat party has been moving farther and farther to the left and that is not good for this country. They keep driving a wedge deeper and deeper into this country. And if you dare question what they want to do, then you are either a racist or a bigot or you have 'privilege' or any number of other made up things. And that's how they have tried to paint Trump and the media eats that up and spreads the lies. I'm sick of being told I'm a bad person and a racist all because I'm a white male.
Sorry if this is rambling, but I had a lot of thoughts in my head and new points kept popping into it while I was typing, so it may come off a bit disjointed. But for the most part, this is why I support and voted for President Trump.
