Well ... for the most part .. I'm somewhere between an anarchist and libertarian. You would be correct ... I HATE the Democrats .. and loath the Republicans. I don't particularly have much appreciation for people who are dumber than me, whose only talent is networking and making self serving alliances ... and of course, telling lies and deceiving people for their own benefit. That all said, there is a document called the Constitution. So, I can bring myself to hold elected officials to the intent of that document, which was Government by the People for the People ..... not Government by the Elites for the Elites and screw the people with lies and deception. Government for the Elites is what you have today. It's been on that path since before the Civil War. The only difference in the Republicans and Democrats is the rate of acceleration. So ... you may ask, Why TRUMP?? He was HATED by Democrats and Republican alike, which tells me, he was probably on the right track. To my knowledge, Trump did not propose ONE SINGLE POLICY that would benefit him or the political elite above anyone else, nor were any of his policies beneficial to any special interest group above ordinary people, nor were they particularly discriminatory, at least from a Constitutional point of view . Border walls?? No benefit. Lower income taxes? No benefit (Trump doesn't pay income tax, he pays capital gains, dividends, and corporate taxes). Less regulation? No benefit! Pulling out of Paris Accord? No benefit. Peace deals in M.E. .. no benefit. XL pipeline?? I don't believe Trump owns an Oil Company. Protecting religious freedom ... umm ... that's in the Constitution. The dude rocked it for the American People, and I hope the public burns in hell for allowing the corps to take the helm. You guys would like to think it was a fair election and they didn't cheat. That is just not consistent with who they are. Of course they cheated. You'll never know, I will never know, because they will never allow you or I to know. You can bet your ass that you won't see "participation rates" in the high 70s-80's again in your lifetime, because it never happens. It can't happen in a free and fair election. The only way it happens is by fraud. But asking a crooked police department to investigate crooked dealing within its force will always end in not guilty.
I agree with a lot that you wrote. And I agree with most of what you wrote about Trump. The one thing that pisses me off about Trump is I believe he was capable of doing much more. At times, he let his enormous ego get in his own way. And I don't history is going to treat him kindly, particularly his last year in office.
I was never on the Trump Train, because everything I've read about him as a man, as a businessman, and a developer made me dislike him. He has a long history of selling people on the short term and failing to deliver beyond that. He was the one who killed the USFL, Trump University was a con from the get go, and he has a string of failed developments like the Taj Mahal Casino. IMHO it was always going to end this way, because that's always been Trump's MO.
And now you've got your wish. How do you like the actions of self appointed King Joe Biden sio far? In just 2 weeks he has destroyed much of the good that Trump accomplished in 4 years.
Trump himself did that. Burned every good thing he did to the ground by his complete mishandling of the COVID crisis. He left office as the first president since Herbert Hoover with less employment than when he entered. Not to mention cost the nation $52 million with his useless legal battle to remain in office. And then incited a riot that shook our republic to it's foundations. This country is well rid of him, and I wish him nothing but the worst going forward.
I think Biden has done well under difficult circumstances. He's actually kept campaign promises, and it's refreshing to see competence in the Oval Office for a change.
So you are ok with putting thousands of people out of work and opening the floodgate for illegal aliens without even checking their criminal background or testing them for the China virus. You approve of Biden's wholehearted adoption of every tenant of the radical leftist playbook.
I don't know for certain that any of those things will happen and neither do you. What I do know is many people in this country and around the world are breathing easier now that Trump is out of office. I grew up in a conservative household. And until a few years ago was a life-long Republican. I voted for John McCain, and I think he would have made a great president. Trump was not great president, he wasn't even a good president. He'll be remembered as the worst president in American history. Foreign intelligence agencies around the world, like those in Britain and Israel, believe Trump tried to engineer a coup. I think they're right.
So don't let facts get in the way - some have already happened. i.e., the Keystone Pipeline - thousands of great jobs lost, energy security for us (America) hurt. And transporting those hydrocarbons on trains and trucks is much dirtier and more expensive than a pipeline. Did those Foreign intelligence agencies give you a briefing? Do you have any proof? Or is this a CNN claim by experts with direct evidence? Like Russia collusion, when they claimed 100% proof on CNN but when before congress they admitted they had nothing?
Let's not forget that John Kerry said all of those pipeline workers who lost good, high paying jobs could just learn how to make solar panels. Most solar panels are made in China.
