In a recent opinion editorial published by Gateway Pundit, author M. C. Armstrong, known for his book "The Mysteries of Haditha," has made a striking declaration about his political stance.
Armstrong, who was nominated for "Best Memoir" at the 2021 American Book Festival, has publicly announced his shift from the Democratic party to support President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
Armstrong's decision, as he explains, is driven by his disillusionment with the Democratic party's increasing inclination towards censorship, warmongering, and lawfare. He likens his departure from the party to Ronald Reagan's famous quote, "I didn't leave the Democratic party, the Democratic Party left me."
In his statement, Armstrong refers to his decision as a "career suicide note," indicating the potential professional risks associated with his political shift. He criticizes the Democrats for their "industrial-scale censorship," "endless wars," and disenfranchising Kennedy voters through lawfare. However, he also acknowledges that his decision is not solely based on anger but also on admiration for Donald Trump and love for his fellow working-class Americans.
Armstrong's vote for Trump, he says, is a vote for all those who have been "canceled and banished" for opposing the establishment. He mentions the stories of various professionals, including a young Black woman from his class who expressed her intention to vote for Trump, fearing Armstrong's potential disapproval. This incident, Armstrong suggests, reflects a concerning shift in the country's political climate.
Armstrong's perception of Trump has significantly changed over time. He admits that he initially viewed Trump as a "cartoon white supremacist, warmonger, and narcissist." However, he now sees Trump as the man who renegotiated NAFTA and the only president in the twenty-first century not to start a new war. Armstrong also appreciates Trump's disavowal of neocons like Dick Cheney, George Bush, and John Bolton.
Armstrong questions why influential figures like Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard have risked their reputations to side with Trump. He believes that they, like him, see Trump as a resilient figure who is transforming the Republican Party into a party of peace, free speech, and the working-class.
Armstrong's entire message can be read on X. His statement serves as a testament to the shifting political allegiances in the lead-up to the presidential election, highlighting the stark choice between Trump's American exceptionalism and Kamala Harris's globalist control.
