you could be right, socialism has been with us so long now that it would be hard to believe people could start thinking like Americans.
So i am very cautious in my hopes that a decent person like Trump will win.
We may find ourselves calling that enil Bi president.
We tend to hear a lot from the deflicted denizens of the Beltway, and East and West coasts. This disproportionate percentage of opinions we hear from those within the Gummint/Misledia Machine tends to slant our assessment of our bretheren nationwide, and does so in a way that doesn't really reflect their views.
Look at the meteoric rise of both (each in their turn) The TEA Party, and the Trump Train. Neither of these could or would have happened had the vast majority of Americans been disavowed of the priciples we FReepers hold dear.
The picture is, in fact, alot brighter than it at first blush might appear... help is on the way and the once-silent majority is now ready and willing to cheer it in. You'll see.
