And also, contrary to what people understand, Donald Trump is anti-war, he wants to immediately stop the war in Ukraine, he actually wants global peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is kind of a little bit shocking to me, because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m from the liberal Bay area, Alameda Oakland Berkeley I still got my 510 area code number\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 what that means is that I was always raised in thinking that conservative Republicans were like the devil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? I grew up so poor, why were all these super super rich people super anti-helping out poor people like myself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And also, I thought that overall, the policies were pro war, \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I always thought that Republicans and conservatives were for war,\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 in that liberals and Democrats or anti-war?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just do the research for yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the credit card thing that I learned is ultimately\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You must just do the research for yourself by yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, one big thing that changed my opinion about Donald Trump was watching his talk at the bitcoin conference and also seeing his interview with Joe Rogan. To me the reason why this was so good was that it humanized him, often times whenever we hear news reports or snippets from whatever\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 It is kind of like bad and evil click bait cherry picking; you will never get a true sensor reality until you watch the raw interview, the full two or three hours or so, uninterrupted, and also encourage watching the actual video footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make your own choices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the number one thing that is very very difficult in politics is that so much of it is predicated on other random political lines. For example, truth be told I still qualify myself as a Democrat and a left leaning liberal, yet\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 When it comes to individual policies and opinions and thoughts, my personal belief system is actually far more multi variegated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m all about helping poor people, and the like, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not like super anti-taxes either. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc if I were a homeowner, I would probably vote yes to increase taxes assuming that the money would go to actually support the public elementary schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet also what I do believe in support is having individual sovereignty to my bitcoin, without having the government metal in my bitcoin. I am also very anti-centralized digital currency by the US government, I think this is very scary. Essentially if you had a centralized digital bank currency by the American government, this would be worse than big Brother, 1984 in brave New World, having a super baby together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>So why does this all matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it matters because ultimately you gotta have somewhere to live, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m pretty sure that you do have a certain belief system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin world peace!\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So in a very very interesting shift of things, I guess I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m super pro Trump Donald Trump, because he is super super 1000% pro bitcoin.
