Kung-Flu aside, my opinion on that is we were in uncharted waters to a great extent, and knee jerk over-reactions are sure to manifest themselves when managing a country of 300MM people. That was inevitable. We learn and move on. But other than that, I agree with your points, albeit this use of a "nazi" comparative by both sides is getting a little wearied and worn. We're not even close. The fact that media has the balls to compare Trump to Hitler however... is f'ing off the charts bs and folks that feed the fire and repeat it in forums like this and in their own circles, aren't Nazi's... they're the sheep that the Nazi's programed.
I have made the point before that much that is going on with Trump's support- despite the flaws and outrageous stuff- can be summarized by the fact that the country has moved another level down on the Maslow Need Hierarchy. I know that gets dismissed by some because it sounds academically fluffy but it describes the whole situation in toto. The concerns of voters now are well down into the SAFETY AND SECURITY rung of the ladder. And headed lower. (see chart below). If you are Asian or Jewish, you just hope the dems don't kill you or harass your elderly parents or young children. If you have young children, you hope they are not killed in a driveby shooting on the way to or from school and that the teachers are not secretly working with them on how to cut their private parts off so that "they can be who they were meant to be." And you hope that the government does not have a plan to house migrants in their school or to move you out of your house and give it to MS-13 members in order to compensate for past colonialism. I, however, would spend zero time trying to challenge the views of MSNBC types with facts. That just does not work. As George Bernard Shaw said: "Never wrestle in the mud with pigs because you will both get dirty and the pigs like it." Not a lot of self-actualizing, increasing esteem, and love and belonging going on these days. People are just hoping they can survive and the whole country is wall to wall with hate and division. That situation at the southern border is Ghengis Khan level. I have issues with Trump but am not going to be worrying about whether he lied about Stormy's bra size.
Honest question... are you looking for facts to show something good happening in the economy, for example, during trumps term to use as a fact to s how trump's policies worked? what kind of facts are you looking for because remember a "fact" you might be citing is just a campaign slogan any candidate uses to sway uninformed voters.... there are no facts out there because a president is a figure head in most cases... if trump is the reason the stock market went up, why isnt Biden the reason the stock market went up? see what I mean....
Yeah spot-on. And that's why I've learned to not engage, because those types of arguments can draw divides in friendships very easily, especially when people have been imbibing and in the heat of battle, the wrong words slip out. It's just that I want to---> soooo badly. I predict this summer, we are going to see a rash of low level, ie breaking and entering type stuff, somewhat organized, but on a more street level basis, by many of these young men that have come here illegally, are broke, and want more. A friends kid got a real high dollar drone for Xmas, not much bigger than a large frisbee, and what it can do is amazing. It can fly thru tree'd areas, self correcting as to avoid any collisions, it can fly at night literally undetected, it has cameras that also work at night, and the damn thing has a range of god knows how far, but it returns to base no problem and the cameras send back a high definition video stream of wherever it is he points them at. I mean it's kind of scary. I thought to myself, holy cow, crooks (or peeping Toms) can just pull into any neighborhood, launch the damn thing, fly right up to peoples windows and case houses completely undetected. Even if you own a house set back on acreage where heretofore you never felt the need to pull your shades at night for privacy... pff... guess again. You mark my word, we're gonna be hearing about this type of thing in the not too distant future.
Only 3 ways to not have Biden be the nominee 1.He voluntarily steps aside 2.The 25th amendment which is actually appropriate in Biden's case 3.Impeachment and Conviction by The Senate----some Democrats may begin to embrace this idea soon.
