    That's what's so appealing to people from third world countries.. It's the old saying "Misery loves company"! Nothing they would like better then the same anarchy here as they wallow in there..

    What the progressives desire to do to this country will absolutely destroy it.

    The second amendment has nothing to do with democracy.

    Ending foreign interference in our elections?

    Ensuring that our separation of powers is intact, including congressional oversight?

    Improving our ability to get healthcare to US citizens?

    Pushing back against discrimination against those who don't happen to be hetero white men?

    Pushing back against those who violate the emoluments clause, thinking their public office is just an extension of their personal business interests?


    What is it that has you so upset?

    Ending foreign interference....
    Like the multiple governments that donated to the cli ton foundation.

    Separation of powers doesnt exist with socialism.

    Everyone has the ability to get healthcare.

    Right now every identity politics group is openly discriminating against hetero white males.

    Agreed about the emoluments clause but dont see how socialism will ever help that.

    Also funny how any progressive wants to site the constitution when they so openly want to abolish the first and second amendment.

    According to Gallop America's trust in the media is down to 41%. Perhaps you need to stop trusting your sources.

    Anecdotally, America's trust in the media began it's nose dive at the same time as FOX News went on air. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

    I imagine until recently. Every president has hated the media.. Obama didn't have to because they were on his side.

    If you had read further along the thread you will no doubt see that I corrected myself.

    For once I agree with our illiberal President. Democracy and our Republic is at stake with another term of Trump. Another projection from the Fake American.
