Trump is simply a phase we are going through
There was inevitably going to be a back lash to the first black president. Sooner than you think we will be forgetting about Trump and in to somebody new.
Mark my words.

Re: Trump is simply a phase we are going through
I believe every president that is elected is, on some level, a response to the previous president. We rebounded from Bush to Obama, and we'll rebound from Trump to someone else. My pet theory is that 4-8 years is long enough for people to start blaming the people at the top for every single problem they have. Not making enough money? Lose your job? Blame the guy at the top. I believe that is why it is so rare to see a party hold the presidency for more than two terms at a time. Eventually enough people blame "the man" that the incumbent party is at a significant disadvantage.

--- Account closed permanently. I won't stand for abuse of authority by forum administration to censor criticism of a conservative radio host that celebrated the death of AIDS patients on his show. Maybe some day we'll speak again elsewhere.

Re: Trump is simply a phase we are going through
Youz guys don't understand much of anything. Trump has changed every thing. Be as vicious and violent as you like.

Re: Trump is simply a phase we are going through
Redq There is not one vicious or violent word written above. They are observations of reality.
In 2 or 6 years Trump will be a footnote in history.
That is a fact

Re: Trump is simply a phase we are going through
We'll all be footnotes in history, in nothing changes in medicine. That's what draws people to all the Singularity stuff.
The idea--if the democrats and rinos don't !@#$ things up beyond all recognition, is that our species develops the tech to move beyond the ineffectiveness of political fixes which, in fact, do not fix.
If you want to live in a better world, where nation-states shrink and Polis's expand, then its technology you want, not wonderful, inspiring, speeches, and promises.
Because you hate The Donald (a title hereafter, to be conferred on all US Presidents) is no good reason to be schmucks for the social democrats.

Even if I conceded that Trump is a complete idiot and a clown, which I won't, I could not take that prediction seriously. The tweetmaster a footnote? Honestly? Do you think that after Trump is president (even if for only one term) he will quietly go away?

Re: Trump is simply a phase we are going through
Trump has changed the ideology of the republican party. It isn't "populist", it is what I call "small r Republicanism". It's pro-growth, pro-employment, pro-defense, pro-speech and pro-American. It's antithesis is authoritarian movements like the Progressives and the rest of the Democrats.
The Dems are winning the demographic battle by importing Third-worlders to a welfare state. This does double duty for them: More votes and acceleration of the Cloward-Piven strategy to destroy the nation's fisc.
The most interesting possible political development is fissures in the here-to-fore monolithic black vote. Blacks voted Republican until FDR and a majority were registered Republican into the 1940s.

Re: Trump is simply a phase we are going through
There is one black Republican Mormon Female congresswoman in Utah . 50 years ago by religious law she couldn’t exist. But there she is the ONLY black Republican. Meanwhile Trump flaunted a kkk outfitted man on his 2016 Christmas 360 photo of the White House. The Republicans will need to win for a decade without the black and Hispanic vote. If they don’t hold both houses of Congress in about 90 days they are in a much more intense situation.
Trump will no longer be unopposed.

By whom...Ocasio-Cortez? She is more like an opposable thumb.
The DNC has become bi-modal. They have their "base" that is essentially communist and their older voters that want a sensible social safety net. You can't bring those two groups together. The flag burners and the union hall regulars are not a block.

Re: Trump is simply a phase we are going through
Redq predicted John McCain would win in 2008 and Mitt Romney would win in 2012, He was wrong. I predicted Hillary Clinton would win in 2016. I was wrong. We are not good predictors My only only prediction is that Trump will not be President in 2020 or 2024..
