“The O.C.” actress Samaire Armstrong is one fired-up Hollywooder. Although unlike the vast majority of her Planet Looney Tunes colleagues, she’s fired up for Donald Trump — not against him.
In an impassioned video posted to Instagram on Thursday, Armstrong said she’s voting for Trump “at the cost of everything,” as she criticized the “far-left mob” for “silencing” conservative Americans.
Armstrong made it a point to say she is an Independent, not a Republican. This could prove significant in November if enough like-minded Independents swing Trump’s way, as they did in 2016.
“I’m voting #Trump2020, and this is why,” she captioned the post. “This is MY opinion. I am sharing it with you at the cost of everything, because it is my right. It is your right to refute it.”
“I look at both sides of the party system and assess what’s going on. I intentionally decided to vote Trump — again — and if you can’t tell that Hillary, and Kamala, and Biden are out of their minds and have been in politics for — some of them almost 50 years — and are the reason for all of this ‘systemic racism’ injustice, and you continue to vote for them to keep them in place?
“I’m sorry, then you’re part of the problem because you’ve been duped into believing that the Democrat Party are [sic] for the people.”
Armstrong also criticized Barack Obama’s effectiveness when it came to social justice issues and economic policy. “They’re not doing anything, and that’s why they hate Trump so much,” she declared.
As if to suggest to her liberal friends that Trump isn’t all that scary after all, she said he isn’t “technically” a Republican himself.
“Donald Trump isn’t even technically a Republican himself. He’s always socially at heart been a Democrat — a liberal, I should say. Because he believes in social equality. So this fallacy that he’s an evil racist, bigot is f–king bulls–t.”
The actress took aim the “far-left mob” who she said lacks an ability to accept personal responsibility, choosing instead to bully conservatives into silence.
“There are so many in our great country who have been bullied into silence at the doing of a far-left mob. Let’s shift back to reality and facts. Let’s stop placating to the emotionally undeveloped, who have an inability to process the meaning of personal responsibility as if they are the cultural guide of which we should follow. I encourage us all to stay grounded in these discussions. I am well aware how emotional and important what we are discussing is.”
Armstrong strongly defended America’s police officers against the “defund” movement, called to “refund” the police, and slammed the Black Lives Matter movement for “destroying, and dismantling our first line of defense against criminals.”
“Our policemen and women have been thrown under the bus by spineless politicians,” she said. “We owe the police our most heartfelt apologies and gratitude for their sacrifice.”

This is MY opinion. I am sharing it with you at the cost of everything, because it is my right. It is your right to refute it. * What I hope comes from this, is that we are able to have an open dialogue. * There are many thoughts and insight you may want to interject and provide. I encourage you to have factual data to support what your point is. * There are so many in our great country who have been bullied into silence at the doing of a far left mob. * Let’s shift back to reality and facts.

Logic must be restored. Critical thinking must be restored. * I have deep love for everyone of my fellow humans. Every race, color, creed, gender, political back ground, religious back ground, financial background, must have their OWN voice and opinion, and it MUST be allowed be to spoken.

“I know you want the best for Black people,” she concluded. “I believe most people do!! I spoke in support of BLM. I wanted to help. This is not what you or I signed up for. Enough is enough. God bless America. I love you all.”
Earlier this month Armstrong posted a “friendly reminder” on Twitter.
A reminder that could not be more true in this summer of the Black Lives Matter movement, Antifa, and varied other anarchist-types who have held America cities hostage, while left-wing mayors and city councils, along with the Democrat Party, have all but encouraged them.
Just a friendly reminder that Marxism is a social science invention. A made up concept by communists. 💖

Samaire Armstrong said she was “coming out” for Trump “at the cost of everything.” Whether that proves true or not, kudos to a brave Hollywooder who is far from afraid to buck the progressive tide.
