You address the political dynamic precisely right IMO.
For the reasons you stated, we’re looking at new solutions.
I don’t like it, but for heaven’s sake, we gave the party 28 years since Reagan to get back on track. We’re not giving them another second.
I think there’s plenty of folks on the Left who are upset at the thought of Obama leading them. I think there’s plenty of people on the right tired of Bush, McCain, and Romney types getting the nod.
28 years later, and people are resoundingly saying, “NO, I’m (we’re) not better off. We’re sick and tired of it, and we’re not going to take it anymore!”
Either Trump means what he says and cleans the nation up, or he doesn’t and the inevitable take place anyway.
The Democrats and the Republicans are dismantling our nation faster than we can keep track of.
What’s to lose with Trump, if it’s all gone anyway?
Perfectly stated and reasoned. I think there's a large plurality of Americans that are right there with you in that thinking.
Trump is a throwback to the kind of Americans that won WWII and built post-war America into the world's lone superpower. Those Americans were politically incorrect ass kickers, who got the job done and didn't whine while they were doing it.
If a mountain needed knocking down, they did it with pride and marveled at their handiwork. If a foe needed reminding who's who on this block, they did it without flinching. They worked hard and played by the rules, teaching their kids to live and succeed on the same terms. They were rightfully proud of America and didn't think twice about defending her honor and her founding principles.
Those were the sort of people who raised me, so I understand a man like Trump on a basic level. He may be rough around the edges, but he's got the right stuff where it really counts.
