There are many groups who hate the elite. Bernie people, Trump people, BLM... the thing is, they don't all agree really on who the elite is. There is some overlap but many of the Bernie and BLM people would consider Trump part of this elite. He's rich and white. He's running for president despite literally nothing suggesting he's qualified to do so. It's like the token symbol of money being able to buy power.

I don't see a revolution happening. Not a violent one anyway.

I see this time that's coming, a full on assault on the elite, that feel we are just peasants.

I know I am not alone. Communism will be run out of this nation, one way or the other and the Constitution restored to its full glory, for the individual, not destroyed for the socialist collective groups.
Ummmm………….what?

A revolution in the sense of a new economic revolution in which most people will be out of work due to tehnology. Not an armed revolution. In thirty years America will be vastly diferent but not because of what is occuring now and not because of armed fighting

Thanks for that daily dose of revisionist history BS. I had no idea that Lenin was the first and only person to use the word "revolution" as part of a political campaign. I guess when I Google "Reagan Revolution" that's all Leninist dogma, right. Including the alleged book by Ron's son.

Also, Donald Trump was the first and only candidate to say "Make American great again" and despite having no point of reference to support this, he's also the first to mean it. And anyone who says otherwise is part of the politically correct liberal elite and their LOSERS!

Do you even know the qualifications and person must have to be President?

I'm qualified to be President.

6, or 6 million?

You must be one of 6, then to have the inside scoop.

Being legally qualified and actually having the skills and knowledge necessary are not the same thing. I wouldn't vote for just any adult over the age of 35 who's an American citizen. Yes, they are legally qualified. That's not enough for me. I have a higher set of standards.
