Comrade,
Your lack of self-awareness borders on hysterical at times.
I get it man. I do. I am super self righteous. I am aware of that. But whatever I type here I say to your face 100%. I still would like to get your opinion on how this country comes together when the political views are so far apart now.
You know what might help? Having a president who isn’t already laying the groundwork to call the next two national elections rigged if the Dems pick up majorities or he loses re-election.
Because Trump is doing that.
What would help more is having fewer opinionated one sided A holes always dumping on the President and giving him zero credit for anything he does.
Nope.
Nothing random people say compares in any way to the tone set by the President. If he's up on stage (or on twitter) crying about a rigged election after a loss, we're ******.
You're buying into the cult of personality crap. If he loses, he loses. Christ people like you have wanted him impeached from day 1. HRC literally said that men told their women not to vote for HRC and the women listened to them. So in her mind the women did not have a mind of their own. She also called the Trump supporters deplorables and irredeemables. But you miss the point that the country became super divided under BHO. I am not saying it was his fault but the economy was in the toilet, there were racial tensions due to police shootings and there was fatigue from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Trump won because many wanted an alternative and because the Dems ran a flawed candidate. Dems could not believe he won so they started screaming and crying and calling for collusion, racism, idiocy, etc. None of that is helpful.
Dems and GOP are Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar apart on:
- Taxes
- Immigration
- Military
- Supreme Court
- Gay marriage
- Abortion
- Environment
- Social Values
- Trade
This is not due to Trump. What Trump does well is he plays to those people and firmly takes a position that they agree with w/o regard of hurting the feelings of those opposed to it. This causes massive fighting. Look at you and me and I am not even a conservative. What you need to realize is that tens of millions agree with Trump's rhetoric and are finally expressing it because they feel empowered to do so. BTW - I think Trump is 100% wrong with his rhetoric but the stupid Dems don't know how to fight against it. You are case in point.
I'm going to skip your first two paragraphs of retarded punditry because you're clueless and...well, stupid, but I'll bite on your list.
- Taxes - Not sure exactly what you mean here but according to Reuters, 76% of the country agrees that taxes should be higher on the wealthy.
- Immigration - again, your one word statements leave a lot of room for interpretation, but virtually no one supports open borders and almost everyone supports a secure border. Most people don't think expanding the wall will help secure the border.
- Military - Pretty sure most people support the military. Even people who are anti-war (a large majority of the country) think a military is necessary.
- Supreme Court - yeah, this too. Almost everyone thinks we should have a Supreme Court.
- Gay Marriage - Over 70% of the country supports gay marriage.
- Abortion - 80% of the country supports abortion in at least some circumstances.
- Environment - are you arguing that half the country doesn't like the environment?
- Social values - this is too vague to even talk about
- Trade - Virtually no one actually knows enough about trade to argue about it. Including the President. Trade is extremely complicated.
You want:
- Significantly lower taxes
- Less social safety net spending
- More military spending
- Less abortion
- Less immigration
- Less gay rights
- Less environmental protections
Don't pretend you aren't a conservative.
