The problems caused by government are real, not scapegoats. That there are always some who blame their own problems on someone else is secondary to the worsening statism.

Trump's anti-intellectual demagoguery may egg them on as they join with others in Trump idolatry expressed in emotional frenzy with their anti-intellectual red hats with little to cover, and it makes it more difficult for anyone to know what he really thinks (if he knows himself) and is doing, but a different style of demagoguery and irrationalism doesn't make the demagoguery and irrationalism unique in politics.

Some find it "refreshing" because the sales pitch doesn't try to hide behind the usual obscure "acceptable" style of dishonesty that is no better. Clinton would have been worse, and so, especially, is the Democrats' new found open fanaticism for socialism. All of it is anti-intellectual, irrational disintegration of the course of the country that is frightening.

You are hopeless. Your Predudice is appalling. Your Narcistic trait of projecting is obvious. Your virtue signaling is comparable to someone with Tourette’s it is like you can’t help it. You claim to dislike the creeping Socialism and yet you supported Obama . Trumps supporters love facts and hate lies you liberals hate facts but love to lie.

"None of them are deplorable."
I suspect most of them are not. I have met one admitted Trump over and he didn't seem to want any part of President Trump's attention-seeking antics. The percentage of bigots and generally deplorable people voting for him may not be that different from other candidates. In the past, we had candidates who where normal and fringe shock jocks firing up the deplorables. President Trump is our first president who appeals directly to the deplorables of the world, so that stands out.

There is a real risk that a charismatic person will find away to appeal to all the people who can accept their problems are someone else's fault, that gov't force is the answer and needs to be freed from the constraints of the law. I see this as less of an immediate risk than I did a year ago. The people looking for facile scapegoats to blame their problems on are split into halves that hate each other. Hopefully that will keep them from accomplishing anything.

Trump lost my support when he put tariffs on to help his big business friends- and we citizens pay for it p

But.....he's not running for husband of the year. As some one previously mentioned, he's an aquired taste. But it's his actions that count. If he's typical of crazies, all I can say is we need more crazies in Washington.

In California, she may be right.

I will wear what I want where and when I want but I won't participate in any violence if I can avaoid it, but I will defend myself. Of course I have the advantage of being an old guy using a walker.

I don't know of any success he has had in restoring freedom. He has accomplished nothing.

Mad Maxine? That's a good one. I will definatlyuse that.

No. I get lost at "his deplorables". I know people who voted for him. None of them are deplorable.

If all the Trump supporters wore their MAGA hats all the time while out and about, that would certainly make it harder for the cretins to act stupidly, wouldn't it? :-)

Remember the TV interviews when he almost died from the assassination attempt and the left cheered it on, saying he deserved it? Does that count as spews of raw hatred?

Good connections. Thanks.

hmmm. I'm good with marijuana and gay relationships. Think that is common ground.

Coffee didn't work, did it?

You really think the Dems can fix anything? I think this is what they want.

Things are way better than they were in the last administration but in my opinion, you are absolutely correct. The path we are on has the same outcome. A dying nation. You've posted valid points that do not deserve a down vote. Point back.

There is no common ground between leftists and the rest of us. If a thief comes to your door and threatens to take your stuff, how do you negotiate? The negotiation could only be just what portion of your stuff you willingly give up. This is what the leftists are doing and why it’s a stalemate and will continue that way

I have a small business that depends on components that we need to buy from China. Trump put 25% tariffs on those parts which hurts us a great deal. We do not sell anything to China, since they can’t afford to buy our non essential product. No matter what trade deal he works out do that his big business supporters are happy, it will NOT help our small business at all. In the meantime trump is claiming he is collecting 11 billion in tariffs and he says that he is collecting them FROM the Chinese. That is a lie, since the import tariffs are paid by the USA importers like me. Hence I say he is hurting USA business, not China

The reason we buy from China is that their labor is so much cheaper than labor here, and in our field they are more advanced. If we didn’t buy from China we would instantly be out of business and our 12 USA employees would be out of work.

Our workers have gotten lazy and are simply competed out of existence. Tariffs would have to be 300% to equalize costs between China and USA anything less than that simply hurts the USA and make the Chinese laugh at us
I predict trump will announce some partial deal to save face and at least partially reduce his 25% tariffs

The hate him because he is destroying them. An example of Mainsream media’s bias..
ABC news Ex producer Ian Cameron married to Susan Rice.
CBS president David Rhodes brother of Ben Rhodes
ABC news corespondent married Jay Carney
ABC news corespondent Mathew Jaffe married to Katie Hogan Obama aide
ABC President Ben Sherwood Brother to Obama advisor Elizabeth Sherwood
CNN President Virginia Mosley married to Clinton Deputy Secretary Tom Nides
Netflix Director Susan Rice.

I don't know if it is that wide. Maybe if one wears it on their sleeve.

It seems easy to avoid the acid, if you are a Libertarian vs a Conservative. Just identify the common ground, and point out the silliness.

I didn’t down vote you . Your insult trump-humpers has no place on this board.
You are free to bad mouth any political leader you wish. I say free speech allows you to see the true character of an individual.

So, you're okay with tariffs and other socialistic behaviors from Trump?

I knew as soon as I posted my post, the Trump-humpers of the site would vote it down simply for bad-mouthing his 'legacy': reality be damned.
