I see some are predicting future results based on past events. I submit that all that is going on today has no equal in recent American history.
A perfect storm is developing across America which includes both the left and the right. Americans are very unhappy with the place our elite leaders (in both parties) have brought us to.
Americans as a whole have determined career politicians have sold them out, and look for someone, anyone, that appears to understand their concerns, and more importantly will act on those concerns if elected.
For those on the left you would think they would support Obama’s replacement, Clinton, but few really trust her, and fewer yet like her. I believe they are supporting Sanders because while a career politician, he has remained independent and proudly claims who he is, a socialist.
For those on the right who for years have been demonized by the left, the media and the elite in their own party they are looking for someone who is not afraid to stand up and give their concerns a voice. They understand Trump is not a white in shining armor, pure in his action or beliefs. He is more like a combat infantryman that you might not want to date your sister, but would like to be in your foxhole when the SHTF.
Well we are living in dangerous times, part of the reason we have gotten here is because our elite leaders (again from both parties) have been too busy shaping our society to meet their Utopian goals and not worried about any other minor problems like employment, or ISIS, or Muslims moving to take over the world.
They are more interested in transforming this nation into the perfect socialist world where minorities rule the majority.
And the full weight of the government is used to force individual to go against their beliefs while allowing our nation to be invaded.
No, this election is not like any other in recent history, Americans are angry, and their first action will be to take it out on the establishment.
I certainly hope that those in power today get the idea that they can “steal” the election and remain in power because I believe this anger is running deep and there is most likely going to be some sort of back lash.
We are indeed living in interesting times
At least that is my opinion
“I submit that all that is going on today has no equal in recent American history.”
Maybe the 1860 election that Lincoln won.
I think you are right. We are in interesting times.
Remember that as a Chinese curse.
Excellent analysis!
Especially the point about who one would want in a foxhole. People realize the survival of our nation is at stake in this election, and in that battle we want a strong, bold and you- know-what-kicking leader who is not afraid to do battle with the establishment.
Spot on.
