The mothership will pick you up at the usual co-ordinates.

So you DON'T believe a word Trump says? Then why support him?

Trump lacks class. And yes, he can be a narcissistic manchild. But I really believe the world just became a safer place with him at the Helm as opposed to Harris.

Why?

How will it become safer?

Because he will not help Ukraine any further and do nothing to stop Putin from taking over a free country?

Because he will not step up against China?

Because he was made a fool of by Kim and he's okay with that?

Please, explain how he will actually make the world more safe?

I'm a fair person over all. I admire your passion, and quite often your well thought our replies. Just because you are on the Left of the political spectrum does not make you my enemy.

I look forward to more of our banter, and I apologize for the 'hysterical' and 'shrieky' comments I made. I took the lower road. I can do better.

I know I get mouthy sometimes, and even beyond rude. That's all frustration.

That said, Hoof, thank you and I will try to keep any discussions we have more level headed.

I'm on the left on some things, sure, but I'm also right on others.

What I honestly do not understand, and what so many don't, is how a person who has shown the contempt of rule of law, of the US Constitution, of people in general managed to con so many people into voting for him. His base say it's because they - like you - believe things were better under him.

Okay, how was it better compared to now? What made things better?

Not feelings either; Facts.

I believe people voted for Trump for lots of reasons.
There are two main reasons thinking people voted for Trump.
1- he promised to bring blue collar jobs back to the industrial heartland. Whether he can do it or not is debatable, but at least he identified the problem
1-he is the lesser of two evils.
That's it.

Yeah, all our election dates are written into law.

And we have the greatest leader you ever saw. Just ask him.
With luck, you got the better of two pieces of shit. Trump resonates with the blue collar workers because he at least acknowledges their plight. The academic class that has taken over the Democratic Party have caused the problem.
TBF, we have much the same problem. Elitists have taken over what used to be the workers parties, and their objectives are not ours.
I had this discussion with the then head of the Fraser Institute close to 30 years ago now. He seriously thought that Canada could make it as a service economy, meaning financial and investment. At the time, I owned a small logging company. I told him the majority of working people are either not mentally equipped or not interested in sitting behind a computer all day long. He said they would have to learn to adapt.

And you realize the disgusting misogynists, and the racists, and the bigots and the assholes and the deluded cult followers are part of the problem of the right?
They voted for Trump because the Democrats thought they were garbage.
I don't like Donald Trump. He's going to be a pain in the ass for Canada.
That's why we need Pollievre as Prime Minister.
Freeland is going to fuck us in trade talks.
She's a brainless talking point.

He wasn't the only one.

I admit Trump had the better out there messaging on it. The Dems hoped people would remember Trump's promises mean shit.

1-he is the lesser of two evils.

HA - as he's the biggest evil... really?
