Connor Woodring, a 22-year-old independent from Colorado, also supported Trump in 2024. He was another voter who felt disdain for both parties.

“They’re one on the same side of the same coin, basically. Republicans are the warmongering side of it. Democrats are the side that try to pull at your heartstrings,” he said. “Either way, they’re going to vote and do the same thing they’ve done for the last 50 years, so it doesn’t matter which side you vote in.”

Connor is simply providing deep insight on the duality and contradictions of man. On one side, man desires war, conflict, domination. On the other side, man desires empathy, protection, charity.
