...
I agree.

One remarkable thing I have noticed, and I believe that this bears reflection, is that we have seen the GOP doing every possible thing that they accused Democrats of during the campaign of 2016. It is as if they looked at what they hoped to accomplish if they had the chance, and decided to accuse Democrats of it ...

But again, I agree, the battle lines have drawn and there is no way to persuade the opposite side to change their minds. A good example of this might be Trump's popularity numbers, he almost had 50% in his first week in office, then something he said or did (or perhaps several such things) caused his favorability to fall, and it has been just about remained at the same level ever since. This is unique in American political history.

Republicans are blamed just as much Democrats are it all depends whose in office at the time, but to ASSUME one Republican or Democrat speech for all of them is just plain insane.

And where is your vehement objection to being told that "Democrats" favor abolishing ICE, when that is far from the case? It's not exactly one sided on who is doing this, yet you feel the need to call out just me, and not people doing the same thing from the other direction.

And the fact is that yes, the Republican party does bear a whole lot more responsibility for the practices in an election with a corrupt GOP candidate running, who the party still wanted to seat in Congress, vs. some random people calling for abolishing ICE but then claiming that's the position of an entire party.

My vote will gladly cancel out a trump vote.

After Kavaughs approval...I was an continue to stand by his rightful place on the supreme court. I've since though taken a clear step back involving how overall this country is literally going to pot.

I'll not vote trump and for many valid facts.

My community and my bank account aren't any better under this potus. As Shania says "he don't impress me much"
