Thanks. That's the single most reasonable thing anyone has ever said to me on this subject, and it makes sense.
I think
@Anung Un Rama also supports Trump and I have a lot of respect for him and his opinion.
I just wish politics didn't divide people so much.
I do not support Trump, but I do hope he makes the right decisions as potus because lives depend on it. He rarely does make the right decision, and when he does it’s usually to correct his own mistakes and even then with zero accountability.
and he had as much to do with unemployment as he did the stock market.
I didn’t support Obama either, but look at the unemployment numbers , stock market, immigration policies, foreign policy, tax policy, reactions to crisis w regards to the poor/middle class vs Wall Street: petty much the same, just a matter of degrees, but trump supporters think Obama was the worst potus ever and a communist, and think triple deferment, multiple bankruptcy Donnie is a political God. It’s completely delusional. And it’s compounded by the hypocrisy of Obama supporters who said noth9ng when he did bad stuff, (but at least Obama could speak in full sentences and didn’t appear drugged up half the time and didn’t pay hookers and cheat on his wife while she was giving birth.). Politics in America has become a team sport. It’s not about policy to improve the lives of the masses and our success as a nation, it’s about whose team is winning. Being proud that trump won because he was an outsider and you bought a t-shirt is a perfect example of the mentality this country has adopted.
trump completely flucked up with his response to covid-19, but he does one thing correct and his cult will point at it and say ‘look , he’s amazing and owning the libs and I bought this t-shirt’.
and, for the record, I understood why the disenfranchised poor and middle class voted for him as a Hail Mary attempt to shake things up, but at this point it’s clear any shake up was not done for the benefit of the poor or middle class.
