    Those are the people who voted for Trump. Despite their votes, Trump did not carry California.

    Trump won the majority of the electorate? The official vote count gave him only 46.1 percent of which is not even a plurality let alone a majority. Did you meant to write that Trump won a majority of the electoral college, which is another kettle of fish altogether?

    FDR was from that class and yet look at what he did. Not that trump is an FDR. But compared to the Dems, on a few issues he looks more like fdr than the dems do.

    The US is toast. I was as patriotic as anyone. Now I can't even stand to look at a flag; because I was a true patriot.

    I've already accepted that the US is history. I just hope we secede before trumpers get the dictator they really want.

    Oh well. I've been ready to die for a long time. I'm certainly ready to fight a war. Defeating evil like trump and his clan is something worth dying for.

    Why would we want to be the leader of the free world? We profited from it in the 50 and 60's but since then it has gotten us into all sorts of trouble. How many people would we have not killed or gotten killed if we were not the worlds police force?

    You make a very good point. However, I think we did do some good: helping Europe to rebuild after the war, for example.

    History has been rocked by strong rulers who were not members of the oligarchy: Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Tse Tong, Hugo Chávez, Pol Pot, Sadam Hussein, and Benito Mussoli to name a few.

    Well, you can claim that, but there is absolutely nothing to support it.

    No question Trump did not carry California. It alone supplied almost double the final popular vote margin Hillary got nationally.

    Your two sentences appear to contradict each other.

    The leaders of most western countries are globalist scum. I hope we can continue to deprive them of 'normalcy.'

    I find it surprising that you feel that way about Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, Theresa May, Mark Rutte, Justin Trudeau, Charles Michel, etc. Can you express more exactly what you have against each of these leaders? "Globalist scum" isn't very enlightening. To me, each of them seems to be working hard for the good of all humankind. Well, maybe I should have left Theresa May out, who seems to be ineffective although well-intentioned.

    Holy crap, if those people were around today they would be the Democratic party establishment.

    Is there some way for you to get away from it all? Turn off the TV, or maybe just watch classic movies.Get off the internet, at least politics. I mean for an extended period. Like, for a year.

    What you're describing is not the real world.

    Honest!

    No they don't.

    Revisit your post #55, then get back to me.

    I seldom find myself agreeing with your posts, but this time I do. Some people allow the political situation to affect them much more than they should. If I think that Congress and the president are doing lousy job, it's not the end of the world nor the end of my happiness. In day-to-day life, what's happening in Washington seems far off and unimportant. I agree about turning off the TV. You might have also suggested going for long walks and drinking coffee with friends.

    I guess you're revealing some greater challenges than I was aware of.

    Most of those mentioned are importing culturally incompatable migrants inflicting drastically increased violence, rape and Jihad upon their citizens, without a majority consensus I should add, given that most of those nations run on parliamentally systems where a large minority can direct policy.

    Additionally, most of those nations are subjecting their citizenry to unimagineable debt burdens by funding their socialist policies from the central banking pyramid scheme.

    You'll also find most of those nations with their leadership' (not necessarily those mentioned, but certainly their collegues and peers) fingers in the decades of destabilization plots stirring up so much trouble in the ME.

    And every single one of them is far richer after having having attained office than before.

    Should I go on?

    Populism, economic nationalism, anti-immigrant views and so on will be more powerful. Trump is besides the point.

    What has Dirty Donald done to improve anything for rank and file employees??Has he made health insurance more available and cheaper NO,If anyone got a slight bump in take home pay from his tax cuts,the higher cost of gas and basic human needs has gone up to more than offset it.He has done absolutely nothing to make my life better or easier.He has spent money like a drunken sailor since taking office,he and his families one year travel costs exceeded the Obamas 8 years in his first year in office.He makes a big show every year on donating his $100,000 salary each quarter,meanwhile he is costing us MILLIONS.And those who he appointed to his cabinet haveall spent money on themselves like drunken sailors.If that is draining the swamp I would prefer it full!!

    Good summation!

    Well, Obama created the new world order with homo marriage. Hil created the new world order with her plan for gun confiscation. The dems have to learn that they can only **** up America so much before it comes back to bite their proverbial ass.

    On the news tonight they had a black guy arguing that blacks should not follow commands a police officer gives them, even simple ones like taking their hand out of their pocket. No doubt the conservaphobe dems will agree...blacks don't need to follow orders from the police.
