They are so insulated from the real world and the issues that we (conservatives) care about. All they care about is some utopia where they can hold hands with the other side and they all get along (politically speaking). Yeah, that would be nice, but I care about my freedoms and issues like abortion, the 2nd amendment, the 1st amendment, lower taxes, a strong economy, being able to raise my family how I want to without the government getting breathing down my neck, etc. Call me an ideologue, I don't care.
All they care about is having status and being liked by the people that can't stand what they supposedly stand for. They don't stand for anything because they look down on the average guy.
Trump is the first Republican in my lifetime (Reagan to an extent, but he was a way better communicator) who has actually stood up to the Democrats and did what he said he would do when he ran for office. I admit, he can be rough, has a big ego, and attacks his opponents, but that's why millions of Americans love the guy. He has nominated three fantastic justices to the Supreme Court, and appointed hundreds more to the lower courts. He's defended freedom of speech, the 2nd amendment, and the unborn. He's brokered peace deals for our biggest Middle East ally. He's been tougher on China than any president in years. He securing the border and greatly reducing the flow if illegal immigration. He understands a country can not survive without law and order. He's not getting us into any stupid wars and he's taking out terrorists when the opportunity is there.
For 3 1/2 years, he's dealt with the most hostile press towards a President this country has ever seen. Obama, for eight years, was worshipped by the same press.
Before Covid-19, the American economy was booming. There were fewer people on food stamps and welfare than had been in years. Every race and age group was seeing record unemployment. By every metric, he was putting policies in place to help businesses, large and small alike.
It's not Trump dividing us, it's the media. From the second he announced he was running for President, they have tried to take to take him down. They want a divided America. They can't stand people like me who support Trump. Wasn't it nice when we could support a candidate or President and not be called a racist, xenophobic, bigot, piece of shit, etc?
I'm done with this thread until after the election. See you on November 4th. (Reaching for my bottle of Buffalo Trace).
