We are at a scary time in our country where liberal ideology has indoctrinated and is now in control of our complete education system, the entertainment industry, social media, pop culture, and the vast majority of all media.
We no longer have a balance, and the control and anarchy they are weilding right now is frightening.
As bad as Trump's personality and behavior is, voters didn't care because it's more important to bring back some sanity
and law and order to our country.
Here is the problem with Trump. He has no understanding of how things work in the real world. From the New Yorker link:
In a second, overlapping attempt to justify Trump’s claim, the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, repeated a false statement by a Fox News pundit, Judge Andrew Napolitano, at a press briefing on March 15th. The day before, Napolitano had claimed that Obama “didn’t use the N.S.A., he didn’t use the C.I.A., he didn’t use the F.B.I., and he didn’t use the Department of Justice; he used G.C.H.Q.”—Government Communications Headquarters, the intelligence service of the United Kingdom.
Trump shrugged when asked about Spicer’s remark at a press conference with the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, later that week. “We said nothing,” Trump insisted. “All we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television. I didn’t make an opinion on it. That was a statement made by a very talented lawyer on Fox. And so you shouldn’t be talking to me, you should be talking to Fox, O.K.?”
Trump sees no issue with repeating a claim he heard on television and stating is as fact without verifying it. Trump and Spicer then claim all they did was quote what someone else said. If they are making no claims as to the veracity of what Napolitano said, why are the repeating it? Other than to promote a gossip distraction theory that has not been proven. Is it their place to quote every crackpot who offers up a theory without checking the fact of the story, and then claim it's not up to them to confirm them?
That may be OK for some of the internet lawyers who try to justify every utterance Trump makes, but we should expect more from our elected officials, especially the POTUS.
totally agree. Trump reminds me of an under informed drunk who is giving the bar their opinion, and when challenged by someone who understands the topic they just trail off and claim they heard it somewhere...
Trump is not smart, and to be fair to him he has done well with his limited skills. It is impressive to see someone so limited manage to grown his money about the same rate he would have if it were simply invested in REITs and a basket of stocks..
Yes, I'm focusing mostly on Hollywood and these entitled "actors" who can basically say what they want unfiltered. If it were the other way around however... imagine if someone went on a morning show or late show and said half the things about Obama (which would've been accurate in my opinion); oh the uporoar.
Why does it eerily remind me of what blacks can say about whites and what whites can't say about blacks?
You already forgot about birtherism, how Obama was a Muslim, a communist, and how he hated America? You conveniently forgot about how that was coming from every conservative mouthpiece for 8 years?

Can you explain how the MSM, and Hollywood took an opinionated stance of agreement on these issues?
Passing the Civil Rights Acts was the socially and morally correct thing to do even if it cost the Democratic Party control of the government by concentrating the racist haters into the Republican Party. Fortunately we Democrats are likely to regain political support as the Republicans destroy any vestige of an economy for most of the people that voted for The Donald.
