And you'll never know what came first for her: the chicken or the egg?

Born that way? Or indoctrination....

I voted for Trump twice. I now have the conviction that I can no longer vote for people who do not intentionally give glory to the Lord Jesus Christ through faithful obedience to Him with a solid profession of faith. Trump just doesn’t cut it for me because of that, but almost all political candidates fail that test, too.

When I was a younger, an old guy in our church wouldn’t vote. He said it was all in Gods hands. I didn’t understand it then but I certainly do now.

I admire your conviction and the thought (and likely prayer) you’ve put into it. I’m a new poster.

Do you have an example of this where it makes Trump look bad?

Because campaign finance has every candidate take money from corporations.

I could list every democratic president for the past 100 years with the same "cause" and shite on them out of spite or hate and it would only make me appear like a spineless whiny baby.

just spout every leftist conspiracy theory talking point like they’re fact because MSNBC said it (think Russia collusion) and act like it’s fact

I have spouted zero conspiracies and had do mot care for any major media outlet. Shockingly there’s people that are able to exist outside the little political bubble you seem to see the world in

Did he still manage to get us to energy independence,

False, we were still buying oil from OPEC as well as doing deals with the Saudis

Again false the economy was a house of cards when majority of the people working were still working paycheck to paycheck.

held Russia in check,

Russia wasn’t fighting proxy wars at the time? Pretty sure they were and still they held onto sovereign nations under Trump

quote:

held N Korea in check

---

North Korea has always been in check they’re never going to do shite

quote:

no new wars

That’s an incredibly low bar but he didn’t end any wars and damn near started one with Iran not to mention trying to meddle in South American elections

quote:

basically no issues in the Middle East due to the Abraham Accord.

In what world are you living in? Israel and Palestine were still at each others throats, ISIS was still around mostly fighting Iran, Saudi Arabia was and still is committing genocide in Yemen.

The disaster currently in the White House embodies every viewpoint and policy you and your ilk want and we’re all hurdling towards disaster.

---

The state of the country is from years to decades of build of bad policy, corporate greed, lobbyist interference, and more recently the supply chain issues, and a government more interested in trying to bail out Wall Street and the 1% rather than actually help out the average American.

quote:

---

You’re so arrogant and self righteous you can’t realize how damaging your views are, all while twisting your shoulder out of joint, patting yourself on the back, congratulating yourself on what a noble, virtuous person you are. Laughable.

Every single thing you just typed there perfectly describes Trump. His policies largely only aided the corporations and the rich. He can’t take losing and consistently throws a fit and blames everyone else. He’s a grifter who used fake populist rhetoric to trick a bunch angry people into believing he’s their hero when he’s just a con artist looking out for himself.

quote:

---

Can you give me an example of Trump's grift?

---

He used populist rhetoric during his campaign in 2016 such as “draining the swamp” which he never even tried to accomplish, he never ended any war despite him saying he would, he actually talked about universal healthcare to some capacity but never tried to fix the system, his policies were mostly aligned with basic republican establishment policies such as corporate tax cuts, deregulation, continuing the war on terror, support of anti-bds laws, and pandering to the evangelical right. He did however put into place the first step act, farm bill, and him calling out NAFTA. But overall he really wasn’t much different from Bush or Obama.

I was with you till
The last sentence

quote:

---

"grift"

---

Those dictionary people ought to put Trump’s picture next to the entry.

Guy running for office makes campaign promises.

Guy wins.

Guy gets about 50% of it done (a pretty good record imo)

The main reason he couldn't get all of it done is because of his opposition blocking it.

Opposition party turns around and says "He's a fraud, he's a grifter, he didn't fulfill his campaign promises!"


Do yall dems see how this looks to the general public at large?
