RE: No, There Will Not Be Any Civil War In America
Trump the president bears no resemblance to Trump the candidate
Pretty sure the boorish, ignorant, reactionary president we got very well resembles the boorish, ignorant, reactionary candidate we saw.
You're focusing on personality (boorish and ignorant) and not policy. The policies deployed by the Trump administration differ greatly to those proposed by Trump the candidate.
Drain the swamp ? No, we'll just fill it with even more JPM and Goldman Sachs appointments.
Normalize relations with Russia ? How about we escalate it instead.
Less careless oversees interventions, slash the defense budget, bring many of the troops home, and focus more on domestic infrastructure ? Nah, changed my mind on those ones too.
There are many reasons to be genuinely critical of the Trump and his administration. But if you are bleating along with the drivel emanating from the mainstream media, then you are being sucked into the divide and conquer game.
Sadly, it could have been even worse. They could have ended up with President Hillary Clinton, who would then have used the word "mandate" to implement pretty much exactly the same policies, appease the same lobby groups, and line the same pockets (especially her own).
