I'm autistic. I was bullied pretty heavily between the ages 13 to 17. While I'm a successful adult now, that was a pretty rough time in my life and left a lasting impression.

There are a million ways to attack Trump, and almost as many ways to attack conservatives as a whole. The fact that Democrats chose to hyper focus on his lack of social conformity doesn't sit well with me. The way everyone seems absolutely giddy to apply this insult at every opportunity gives me visceral flashbacks to my own mistreatment.

People talk about this election as Harris v Trump, but it's really Harris v Trump v Staying home. I'm not voting for somebody who blatantly and proudly acts like a high school bully. The idea that my decision makes me a bad person is ridiculous, and IMO more a reflection of the person claiming that than myself.

Feel free not to vote. Dont complain then when Trump takes away more of your rights.
