Booming economy? Check.

War? Nope.



Racial issues? Mostly fake.

Stock market? Record highs.

So with the country doing so well, the Left has no direction. There is nothing any rational person can oppose. So they make up fake stories, pretend they don't have rights (when's the last time people couldn't vote), defend criminals, and make ridiculous proposals like No ICE, No Straws.

They spend all their time whining on Twitter and Facebook. If these problems they complain about are real, don't you think they'd do a little more?

Winning.

What active wars are we in right now? What's the daily body count? I'm pretty sure the s side of chicago is more a hot spot than anywhere right now.


Our economy hasn't been this good since 2006. If you can't make it now, then you can't make it. Period.

What's happening in Iowa, South Carolina, Michigan, Missouri, Alabama, etc; ARE NOT REFLECTIVE OF THE NATION AS A WHOLE???

Which part of the nation do right-wingers consider "reflective of the nation"????

It appears you didn't notice that the last year on your chart is 2016. Guess who wasn't president in 2016?

There is no Trump "winning" in your chart because Trump wasn't president on your chart.

Obama did a pretty good job withdrawing troops as well. Trump hasn't started any conflicts. We are at a time of peace.

UGH
There are many pluses and minuses with Trump just as there was with Obama and every President before him.

We can cherry pick and counter all day long and convince no one.



The Left does have an agenda and it is to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, repeal the Second amendment or short of that seriously restrict the type of gun a law abiding citizen can own and turn America into a more socialist state. All of this is being sold to their people under the guise of "its for the children" .



Their agenda is whatever is opposite of what Trump is trying to do for America.

I agree with this and will only note on the OP that even with the good economy and relative propserity, which has actually been a trend since Obama's second term and you see how the Democrats did in 2016 - that you fail to understand the level of unease that Trump causes for many Americans.



I think no matter how good things are that that unease and his chaotic nature may be his undoing.
