When one compares Trump to either Obama or Biden, it's like comparing a leaking, drafty, rat-infested old hovel to Buckingham Palace...........
Just read this earlier: "........Donald Trump is a dangerous dictator. He must be stopped before he totally destroys the very freedoms we all take for granted..........." I TOTALLY agree.....but WHO re-elected him in the FIRST place?? Place the blame where the blame is due, people.............
Certain people (too many!) see him as strong against perceived dangers. Unfortunately this "strength" comes with a ding on civil liberties on everyone (except the well connected rich white guys), and those perceived dangers are mostly complete bullshit anyways. He had good PR (Fox News, charismatic influencers, etc.)
Those who support Trump do so with blind loyalty and trust. They think we are crazy for not seeing things their way. I have heard some people say they think our entire government should be dismantled and rebuilt from the ground - because there is such corruption and intent to self-serve that we will never fix it unless it is destroyed. Yet, they don't see him as a problem - but as a solution and a savior to our problems. I am doubtful we will come through this in better shape. I have even wondered if we will continue to be the United States. Last week, I listened to a broadcast from Alberta - Canada - in it, there was mention of the western Canadian provinces working on a petition or whatever - to ceded from eastern Canada - it seems they see their provinces more in line with the USA - or the conservative, cowboy image of USA that comes from some of the western states and Texas - and one guy said how cool it would be for the United States to be connected from California/Mexico border throughout Canada to Alaska - but he also said that the middle and eastern provinces can remain as Canada. It seems it is more than just MAGA folks in the USA look at things this way. I think we need to be prepared for quite a tumultuous time of it before we get through to whatever is coming.
Papa: EXCELLENT little commentary, my friend! You've got your head on straight, for sure, and I read you loud and clear! Talk about "blind loyalty".............
