People can disagree on means even if they agree on the desired end. You and I most likely do.
I am short on believing that people can be educated into thinking clearly. Conservative principal work when they are put into practice. Capitalism and the competition of the marketplace raised the standard of living in this country. Inventions and creative utilization of niches made life for the average person more comfortable, gave them more leisure and promoted success. Then American liberals began to demolish the American way and demonize it. People didn’t pay attention. Now finally the suffering is bad enough that they want something done.
Rather than convincing people by words I believe we need to take advantage of an opportunity to get someone into office who will convince them by deeds.
Trump has committed to several actions that will really jump start a recovery. He has committed to a wall, he has committed to a moratorium on immigration, to shutting some of the Washington Albatrosses like the Dept of ED. and devolving responsibilities to the local communities and the states. He has committed to trade deals that favor Americans. He has committed to caring for our Vets. He is a pragmatist and a proven dealmaker with tremendous stamina. From where I sit that is a good beginning.
See post 115. I clicked on myself instead of you.
Thanks for the exchange. I think it is beneficial to us both. Something to think about.
