#SupportTulsi

[tmarshconnors]

At the time, many people laughed at me. 

Back in 2016, I made a bold statement: if Donald Trump didn’t win the election, I would be willing to support Tulsi Gabbard. At the time, many people laughed at me. 

After all, Tulsi Gabbard was a Democrat, and her positions were often seen as quite different from Trump’s. But I saw something in her a strength of character, a willingness to challenge the status quo, and an ability to think independently. 

Unlike most of the warped brainwashed left. I knew that my faith in her would eventually prove to be well placed.

Fast forward to today, and Tulsi Gabbard has come out in support of Donald Trump. It’s an unexpected twist for many, but for me, it’s a confirmation of what I believed all along. Tulsi Gabbard is someone who isn’t afraid to stand up for what she believes in, even if it means crossing traditional party lines. That’s something I’ve always admired about her.

When I first made that statement, I knew it would raise eyebrows. Tulsi Gabbard was, at that time, a rising star in the Democratic Party. She had served as a member of the House of Representatives from Hawaii and had made a name for herself by speaking out against the establishment. Her military service and foreign policy views, particularly her opposition to endless wars, set her apart from many of her Democratic colleagues.

Despite being on opposite sides of the political spectrum, I saw in Tulsi a kindred spirit. She wasn’t afraid to speak out against her own party when she believed it was wrong. She stood for what she believed in, even when it wasn’t popular. And, like Trump, she wasn’t afraid to challenge the mainstream media or the entrenched political elites.

I recognised that while we might not agree on every issue, we shared some core principles principles that were more important to me than party loyalty. Tulsi’s independent thinking, her willingness to question authority, and her commitment to serving the American people were qualities that resonated with me. 

Just a little side note even though I am a British patriot to my core. I closely watch international politics. It would be foolish (putting it nicely) to assume that America doesn’t play a big part in the way we do things here in the United Kingdom and at the world at large.

Alright back to the blog. Tulsi’s journey from being a Democratic congresswoman to supporting Donald Trump is a fascinating one. Over the years, she became increasingly disillusioned with the Democratic Party, particularly with its focus on identity politics and its unwillingness to challenge the military-industrial complex. Her outspoken criticism of both the party establishment and its leaders eventually led her to leave the Democratic Party altogether.

Tulsi has always been someone who prioritises principles over politics. Whether it’s her stance on foreign policy, her commitment to free speech, or her willingness to reach across the aisle, Tulsi has consistently shown that she’s more interested in doing what’s right for the country than in towing the party line.

We need more people that prioritises principles over politics.  I may be a staunch conservative but we must stand together against this onslaught of mass brainwashing and fight back as one. 

Sorry I digress. AGAIN!

Ok ok back on topic. When she came out in support of Trump, I wasn’t surprised. In many ways, it felt like a natural progression for someone who has always valued independent thought and the willingness to challenge the system. Tulsi’s support for Trump isn’t about party affiliation; it’s about shared values and a common vision for the future of America.

Looking back, I’m glad I stuck to my guns when it came to supporting Tulsi Gabbard. Despite the skepticism and the criticism, I believed that she was someone who would eventually prove herself, and she has. We may not agree on everything, but that’s okay. What matters to me is that she has the courage to stand up for what she believes in, even when it’s not popular or politically expedient.

In a political landscape where so many politicians are willing to compromise their values for the sake of party loyalty or personal gain, Tulsi’s integrity and independence are refreshing. She’s not afraid to challenge the status quo, and that’s something I deeply respect.

For those who laughed at me back in 2016, I can only say this: sometimes, it’s worth believing in someone, even when others don’t see it. Tulsi Gabbard has proven herself to be a true independent thinker, and I’m proud to have supported her from the beginning. Here’s to sticking to your principles and standing by those who have the courage to do the same.
