There’s a Reason Trump Got Re-elected, But This Isn’t It
There’s an interesting concept expressed in the meme here, but I dispute the basic idea that Americans had the best lives on the planet.
Each year, we lose ground to the rest of the developed world in terms of education, health outcomes and life expectancy, happiness rankings, and freedom rankings.
Almost all the new wealth that has entered this country since 1980 has gone to the top 5%, and the working class is indignant.
As a society, we’re grossly indifferent to the suffering of others.
Since the 2010 Supreme Court decision “Citizens United,” our government has grown increasingly corrupt and our lawmakers now show no interest in passing legislation that would help the common American.
It would be nice if we could think of a single thing that Trump has done since he re-assumed office that has made the United States a better, stronger country, but that doesn’t seem possible.
With the exception of the uber-wealthy, our people are less safe, less healthy, and poorer than we were last year. Until recently, our nation had strong allies, and we weren’t cozying up to the world’s most brutal dictators, as suggested in the photo at right.

The aging Trump supporter makes a good point here. Trump’s not stupid himself; in fact, his strength lies in using his warped mind to manipulate the least intelligent Americans into doing his bidding.
Do I support clean and fair elections? Or would I rather live in a banana republic where the absolute ruler’s political opponents are routinely arrested, jailed, and tortured? Hmmm.
Incredibly, there are wealthy people all around the country, perhaps even the globe, who think like the young man speaking in the cartoon here. It’s supposed to be funny, and it would be, if it didn’t describe a tragic and entirely possible outcome for humankind.
You have to be paranoid beyond measure to believe that they (whoever they are) want you to be dependent on grocery stores.
I don’t know who wrote the piece at left, and it may be a bit “over the top,” but it’s true by and large.
Re: the message at left, I doubt it. As upsetting as it may be to decent people everywhere, it’s not reasonable to think that Trump could simply disappear from view.
The reader who sent this comments: Trump tries to explain that his tariffs needn’t be a financial burden. Just buy less stuff. You don’t need all that extravagance.
