I, for one, will be extremely disappointed if Trump backs down on amnesty.
It goes against all his previous positions.
I don't understand why so many people are gleeful about it.
Is it worth that much to them to be able to say 'I told you so?'
It's not to me.
Gleeful? I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not the least bit happy about this. There is nothing funny about having been sold down the river.
Would have been nice if the Republicans -- Trump in particular -- would have proven us wrong about them. But we've known all along what liars, cheats and thieves they are. We just didn't want to admit that they are and always will be. They will never change. They are the ones who are gleeful because, once again, they have deceived us and they know there is damm little we can do about it.
Sure, we can primary them, but the damage will have already been done. Besides, with whom are we going to be replacing them? I said elsewhere there are precious few who are willing to do what we voters want. Oh, they too will make promises and tell us they will work for us and do what we want. But when we elect them, we find out they too are liars. Or perhaps they have good intentions, but once they take office, the allure of power and money compels them to abandon whatever principles they had and the promises they made to their constituents. The few who do keep their principles and their promises are run over by the corrupted, entrenched hierarchy that rules the party.
So the US, as we know it, will lurch over the edge into the abyss. It will take an act of God to save us now. We sure can't depend on either party now since they are the ones who are pushing us over the edge.
