Why are you here, @FeelNoPain ?
Because it isn't a mindless echo chamber.
Why are you here?I apologize. I should not presume the tenor of your question.
I am a man who spends a good deal of his time around urban blacks and Latinos and I see the pernicious effects of the Left's governance on a daily basis. I see the designed dependency, the tacitly condoned unaccountability, irresponsibility, lack of standards, criminality, etc and I know it is destruction itself--calculated or otherwise.
But, I do not think you can address one without the other. The other is the moral rot. The ethical vacuum. Trump lacks the moral credibility, maturity, empathy, or gravitas to lead, to unite, to foster. So, he demeans, degrades, bullies, lies, whines, self-serves, and further divides. If one feels that Trump is "on my side" then one ignores how defective he demonstrates that he is on a daily basis. One believes that everyone else is wrong ("Never Trumpers!), everyone else is corrupt ("Swamp Dweller!"), everyone else is lying ("The 40+ lying women!"), everyone else is out to get him ("Deep State!"), every story that doesn't paint him with slavish adoration is libel (Fake News!"). "Lock her up! Build the Wall! Drain the Swamp! MAGA! YEEEEEEARGH!!!!!"
So, that's where I'm at. I'm here because I agree with the majority of denizens of this board on almost every issue except the Trump cognitive dissonance.
