Please show me where the left is into fear mongering.
Oh Andy Cuomo made mine into a felony charge worse than child molester receives... he passed that "safe act" out of fear. Get caught with an AR and magazines with more than 7 or the capacity to hold more than 7 unless at a shooting range where you were granted 10... see what that gets ya. Confiscation hefty fine and nasty felony charge. Passed in the middle of the night... turned every gun owner into a felon unless they registered. Nope. Mine went missing in a tragic boating accident then the currents dragged them to Florida

And that's where NY and CT were headed. Knocking on the door with forefieture without reimbursement if you did not comply. Again, out of fear.

Let's see... my investments were stagnant under obama. Election night forward they've been going gang busters...

If it came down to Rubio, or romney vs sanders... I may have gone for sanders. He was vehemently against the anti gun agenda that HRC posed. Ever go to Vermont? It's the north easts version of Texas when it comes to firearms.

As for health insurance, my provider dropped me, I had to take a chItty Empire Blue plane through work and for what? 200% increase on premium price, and for 30% the coverage I once had... and that's affordable... okie dokie...

Fear.


The right has always played the fear card.
You mean fear of losing Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, housing or is there something else you are talking about.

Are all your investments in Trump stock? lol. Seriously though, the stock market has been rising for a long time now. As well as the economy. In fact, on a monthly basis before last jobs report, economists thought the job creation was slowing down since Trump got elected. http://www.businessinsider.com/may-2...r-trump-2017-6

Then why in the name of hell did the DNC clear the field for Hillary and why did the celebrities and Wall Street and Goldman Sachs and most Demcratic politicians push Hillary from the beginning??!?




Having Hillary, a candidate that could lose to Trump, be the nominee was 100% on you Dems. You made your bed and you now must Sleep in it

Didn't click on the link did you? Didn't think so. I was against ACA myself.






Dems?? You're point your finger at the wrong person.

Who should I point my finger at for having Hillary as the nominee then?

By the time we walked into our polling places, there were only two viable choices and Hillary was one of them. Throwing your vote away on someone who isn't going to garner enough votes to be elected? You might as well stay home.

I'm Democrat. The loons on the left fear monger all the time. Oh my God - they want to rob us of having control over our own bodies! They'll reverse Roe v. Wade! The Republicans want to tear parents away from their children and break up families! Guns are the cause of all the killing! It's easier for black impoverished youth to get a gun than it is for them to access a computer!

And let's not talk about shaming people and their false accusations whenever anyone says something they disagree with. They scream Islamophobia if someone says they don't think women should be allowed to wear a burka for a drivers license photo, yet demand someone not wear a shirt bearing the American flag because it's insensitive. Or they state people are against immigration and anti-Hispanic if they're pro-legal immigration but not illegal aliens.

These are the people who have moved me further to the center. They're NUTS!

The right hasn't cornered the market on fear mongering - that in itself is nothing more than loony left fear mongering.

May 2017 jobs report holds some worrying signs for Trump - Business Insider
His investments might have been in the Russian stock market instead!



Only a fool would have lost money in the stock market under Obama's tenure.

Fear of Hillary being President was a huge motivating factor for most of us.

We did not vote for Trump, we voted against Hillary.
