What is a conservative? And what are we afraid of?
A conservative used to be for... small government, free trade, limited government, a strong military with important alliances... stuff like that.
D Trump is a trade protectionist populist with an admiration (apparently) for autocrats and 'strongmen'.

I should say "Trump supporter". Trump convinced people that Harris is like some evil super genius (who is also "low IQ" "retarded") communist who will destroy America.
Come on people -- she's just a competent, normal, decent person. If President, she'll at worst be able to nominate some judges who sway slightly left. Maybe a single supreme court nomination.

When I listen to Harris... I hear someone I don't really want to be president... But I don't think she's a tyrant or megalomaniac.
She'll have advisors and traditionalists who can help her lead, hopefully from the center where she should and things will be imperfect but stable.
With Donald Trump... I hear chaos, inconsistency and someone who makes it up as he goes and is completely narcissistic.
I believe that Bitcoin thrives in Chaos and because of that some Bitcoiners support him... if he wins he will hugely pump the price but I'm not sure that's good for the United States.

Can't argue with that.
My take is that inflation is inevitable under any viable candidate's administration, and Bitcoin thrives under inflation. The Fed will yo-yo the interest rate, which will bring people to Bitcoin, and real Bitcoiners don't sell-- ergo Bitcoin thrives.

Amen.
