Trump Support: Who’s Left?



For some reason, however, Americans’ perceptions of Trump are not so cut and dried.
There are 42% who deem Trump to be honest, competent, Godly, dedicated to public service, selflessly committed to the well-being of all Americans–the victim of a predatory media. Fortunately, most of the rest of us see him as nothing but a conman, but 42/53? That’s just amazing.

Trump seems to have a different feeling about Putin.
We may never learn precisely why. Perhaps it’s just his admiration and envy of a dictator. More probably, it’s far more sinister.

1830 saw the beginning of the Trail of Tears, a series of forced relocations of approximately 60,000 Native Americans, carried out by government authorities (state and local militias) following the passage of the Indian Removal Act. These relocated peoples suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route to their new designated reserves. Several thousands died before reaching their destinations or shortly after from disease.
FWIW, I think Kamala Harris will do a fine job as veep. She’s an honest and intelligent person with solid, humanitarian values.

Neither am I.
But I think we both know enough about the subject to understand that putting a solar panel under a bridge isn’t a strong idea.

Powerful stuff in today’s America, a country featuring millions of people who believe climate change is a hoax, the pandemic is planned, whites are the master race, the Earth is flat, liberals are communists, and Bill Gates is implementing his plan to enslave humanity. (more…)

No one, literally no one, wants “equality” in the sense of equal ownership of all wealth.
What decent people want is equal opportunity, fairness, and equal justice for all.
He can’t see that these are two different things? Yikes.

Obama did what he could to make this nation a leader in clean energy, and, though he made a great deal of progress over all, he ran into a buzzsaw in the form of Big Oil when it came to phasing out fossil fuel.
This, btw, “We’re replacing fossil fuel with low-carbon energy sources at the maximum feasible rate, and we’re doing what we can to help the rest of the world go in this direction as well” is precisely how that policy should read.

Shown on the left is the sad reminder that our goals today are far less lofty. All most of us want is a return of basic sanity.
Will we get it? We’ll find out on November 3rd.

I would have shed tears of joy had I been in that crowd.
If we could have a bit more of this, this whole catastrophe would be behind us.
