RE: Q: The Second American Revolution is Upon Us
If there is no more room for pessimists, does that mean you want to kill them? Is anyone who doesn't think Trump is a Messiah a pessimist that needs killed? Or are you just saying you want to kick them out?
Trump and Clinton may not be in cahoots, but I think they are. Even if they aren't, Trump isn't going to restore the US to a Constitutional Republic because that would mean Constitutional money, no wars without a Congressional declaration of war, no illegal incarcerations of US citizens for possession of "controlled substances," no standing army, etc. Trump isn't going to support any of those things.
Now, I'm all for encouraging actions I think are good, like arresting pedo's and Clintons. However, the whole idea of turning Trump into an American Messiah is at best misguided, and IMO destructive to the end of a free society.
One more thing, it isn't pessimism to distrust known liars and crooks. For my entire life, every President has been a crook and liar, and I remain unconvinced this current one is any different. All you Super Trumpers refuse to challenge your new god no matter what he says or does. It would be a little easier to take if every once in a while you said, "Hey, Trump is screwing up here." If you have, I missed it because every time I tune in to your show it's all about how Trump can do no wrong. Can you really not see how big of a problem it is to make a hero out of the President?
I was born here in the US, and there is plenty of room for opinions that aren't yours. If you don't like it, tough, because that's what freedom means. You can call people who disagree with you all the names in the dictionary but that is hardly an answer to legitimate challenges.
Cowards?
Perhaps it's more cowardly to jump on the bandwagon and support the next "savior" you are presented. Perhaps there is courage in remaining principled despite social pressure to conform to idol worship. Perhaps blindly following a billionaire into a civil war, where it will be your kids and not his who die, isn't such a great idea...
Even if Trump was only the lesser evil, let's support him with all we have! We are already blessed with no TPP, TTIP, Paris CA etc.
The lesser of two evils is still evil. Support evil at your own peril.
Its better to die upon your feet than live upon your knees.
Tough talk. It's easy to speak platitudes when nobody is pointing a gun at your head.
Been there Garth, and what a feeling it was. Glad to be here.
What did the elite in Davos were planning for #wethepeople?
