Some voters in my area were seemingly offended by the idea of principle over party and before the election there were several yard signs I saw that said things like “policy > principle” and “I’m voting for a president, not a boyfriend” which I found particularly frustrating. It can feel like people are dead set on dismissing his behavior.

Wow! I didn't know this particular "campaign slogan" existed! I've never seen a sign like that, but I live in a pretty red area where the "F" Biden flags still wave.

I am having a hard time understanding why someone wouldn't take into account someone's moral standing when voting for them to lead our country. Maybe I need to read Righteous Minds again!

They were homemade signs along the same stretch of road so I guess they inspired each other? It's the road I have to take to do most anything so I think even though it wasn't a lot of signs, seeing them daily for weeks made it feel like more haha.

It is hard to understand. I've asked for insight from Preamble readers on the right a few times, truly in good faith, because I genuinely want to get it but it feels like an unsolvable puzzle. Or maybe there's something I'm just not getting? Regardless, I can't seem to wrap by head around it all.
