I’m not grumbling and I know the divide in our country is not going to be fixed for a very long time.

I lived through obama’s 8 long miserable years, knowing if we didn’t find someone who would turn it around, my grandchildren would live in a world far different than I wished for them.

NO ONE could do what Trump has done. I can’t think of another person who could withstand what Trump has .. daily and hard hitting attacks... he keeps going! I wanted someone like Trump, and I voted for him ... for his fighting attitude... which the GOP did not have and failed to stand for anything.. while the left ran circles around them.

You are not old enough! You are of the geneartion that let rude be okay in all conditions. You can’t imagine what you have not experienced.. not really. Things changed in the 60’s ... society turned ... and it’s gotten more public and more accepted since then... to say anything to anyone. I am a stickler for respect and there is none any more... I have grandchildren who are being taught to be polite.. I tell them to realize they will always be different than most.. just accept it and do what is right. never mind what others do. But kids in our society do not know what is right any more.. Common sense is missing.

I don’t intend to argue with anyone.. I stated my opinion and I think it would be better if Pres Trump used a way that is respectable to tear down the opposition. It doesnt matter to me what he was and I’m tired of the likes of mueller and the media who hate him for nothing more than he messed up their world.. obama messed up mine for a long time.. so they have it coming.

For those who were raised to not swear/cuss.. to show respect, to be honest and trustworthy... to do what is right and to stand for all the good in our country.. rude is not necessary. There are ways to destroy the enemy without using the left’s play book.

Trump’s tweets don’t bother me... I don’t live on Twitter or facebook or whatever else is out there... I grew up when computers were not the way to communicate... but there are some who are turned off by rude and obnoxious behavior.. just because someone can, doesn’t mean someone should.

It’s your world... do with it as you choose. My generation knows what I speak of.. it’s a changed world ... and we know civility was a better way.

the loss of a sense of God means that things have to get rougher now to get the message across: this thing has gone way way way out of balance. about to slide over the left side of the cliff.

donald trump is not an uber rightist by historical standards. he is about on a par with jfk but without overt racism.

the manners of politeness (which are superficial) might be less important than the consideration and love, even if it entails a cuss word or two.

I keep hearing your kind say such things, but they never seem to be able to give non-anecdotal examples of it working "in practice," and NEVER agree to defend the point with those who disagree.

Why is that?

One could easily get the idea such people are either obstructionists, or the right wing version of "virtue signaling."

How utterly conceited is it to voice ones opposition to a strategy that is clearly succeeding, and then lack the integrity to provide any sort of alternative beyond a hypothetical.
