Just a little perspective on the current situation, and then I’ll shut up for the day:
- The current effort by the fake media/Democrat Party ministry of disinformation to tar President Trump as a racist and run him out of office is just a repeat of the playbook they used against Ronald Reagan in 1981-84. Same tactics, same false claims, same inflammatory protests and rhetoric. We have, in other words, seen this movie before.
- We should all remember that the ending to that movie in 1984 was the single greatest landslide re-election of any sitting president in the history of the American Republic. The average American is much more perceptive than Democrats believe they are.
- We also need to remember this key difference between 1984 and today: The Democrat Party’s status has radically changed: - The Democrat Party in 1984 was a majority national party in almost every respect outside of the Oval Office. It controlled both houses of congress, a majority of state governorships and a majority of state legislative houses. It was the majority party in the West, the majority party in the Rust Belt, the majority party in the Midwest, and the majority party in the Northeast. It had real leadership in congress, and a strong bench of younger, upcoming leaders. What it didn’t have was a strong candidate to challenge Reagan, whose popularity boomed along with the national economy, which had come roaring back in response to his program of tax cuts.

Is there something to chill out about?
California had a Republican governor in 1984, and would continue to have one for over 14 years.
“They” will not chill, and we are just beginning to heat up.
This will not end well, but I and many others have had it.
Nope, we’re not white anything, but we have something progressives to not have: productive lives.
We intend to keep them.
Not quite the same...Reagan was the great communicator. Trump is no where near Reagan in that. But Reagan had dims all around and Still managed to get things done...Trump may or may not. But he isnt there yet...
Well told, Bubba...
‘It [the Democrat Party] has no real leadership outside of the evil George Soros and the termed-out Barack Obama and the twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.’
Maxine Waters begs to differ.
For the last eight years if you disagreed with our President. . .you were a racist.
Now, if you agree with our President. . . you are a racist.
go figure.
I’m getting a little long in the tooth but am determined to take the fight to them when the time comes.
And by fight, I don’t mean voting.
The world is not inside politics. This does not take the nature of the 21st century American people into account at all.
People who are in their 20s and 30s can buy guns, drive cars, commit violence, and are like 12 year olds. Most people are on maintenance drugs. You can get fired for making a public statement that has nothing to do with your job.
Comparing now to the 80s is like comparing the 80s’to the 16th century. People are literally animals now that cultural Christianity doesn’t have any influence on the unregenerated.
It is my hope that the insanity has been ramped up because the DOJ is turning some stones and the left is panicking. They have to get President Trump the heck out of there before they “all hang from nooses”.
Great observation!!!
You are absolutely right.
If this continues, the normal people will be fired up and vote Trump.
By the time you and I get to the fight it would appear half of our freeper brethren will consider us the enemy...
Reagan had the blue dog southern democrats that helped him...
there long gone
The first George Bush... REAGANS biggest mistake...and Bob Dole were against the tax cuts...
They may have voted for them in the end ..I cannot remember

the answer...
Hell, this is a repeat of the playbook they used against Nixon.
>By the time you and I get to the fight it would appear half of our freeper brethren will consider us the enemy...<
WE probably won’t give a rat’s a$$, will we?
Just want to get my piece of the next fight because I have a feeling it’s going to be a doozy.
“DOJ is turning some stones and the left is panicking”
I think this is what’s happening. It’s also the only explanation that would explain hillary suddenly announcing she wants to become a minister.
Yes, the Blue Dogs are gone because they all turned Republican. Which is why the South has been solidly Republican for the last 30 years.
