I wanted her to run against Lamar Alexander. Was disappointed when she didn't. She's not my rep.

I want my country back too, I want my country back from the bigots and the anti-intellectual ignoramuses stuck in the past.

When people say they want their country back what they are saying is they want a country where everyone can better themselves and have future to believe in and one where people can leave a better future for their children. Where hard work is rewarded. Where people can feel secure.
I don't take it as anything sinister or 'code words' for something hateful or racist.

You're correct.

The line about it being racist is total BS -- most of the people we want to take the country back from (lobbyists, career politicians, etc.) are white!

Unfortunately, the chance that the country is ever taken back is 0%. I'm sure that concerns you as both a citizen and grandfather, but I don't see it happening.

They want it back from rudderless, deranged Progressives and bought and paid for RINO Establishment Republicans.

You're welcome.

You got that right. Most career politicians are white and they are destroying our country. So progressives can stick the race card back in their wallets.

No, the First Nations want their country back.

The citizens just want their side to win.

The people she's ACTUALLY talking about want a return to some sort of mythological golden age that never truly existed.

But, those people don't want to hand it over to you. The have their own idea of what 'taking the country back' means, and, they appear to be in the majority.
