Here is the part that is disturbing: You dwell upon his "win", as if that is all there is. Then you seemingly close the door after that. He has been there for 6 months. He has had chances to prove what he can do. Dems have been meeting half-way, full-way...waiting.. through the deterrents, setbacks, ongoing reports on tweets, etc., interferences he causes himself. Then some think he "just needs a chance". Do you think he is actually achieving and being Presidential?

You can disagree with him politically but things really weren't that bad under Obama in the grand scheme of things.

So what is the root issue that causes you to be so angry about our current society?
Let me try to explain in simple terms so you can understand. The anger, as you mention is the reaction to the unhinged resistance the Left has demonstrated since losing yet another election.

If the OP and the Left think that wearing black masks and torching cities, or taking over college campuses via threat of violence is a path to a functioning civilization, they are in for a bloody era.

Socialism and it's ugly sister Communism are a non-starter in America. Its actually a simple concept.

Any questions?

You are delusional. Nothing you stated is true, and therein lies the problem.

Here's another question:

Who shuts down the constitutionally protected free speech of non-liberals b/c they can't control the liberals (from rioting and looting) who don't like free speech from anyone - if they don't agree with it?

The left, en masse, not one or two or ten, has shown who they REALLY are since 11/8/2016.

Hypocrites.

Own it.
They'll keep losing elections until they 'own it' and make some serious changes in their party.

Americans won't elect the party of 2-year-old temper tantrum throwers.

Since conservatives apparently like to generalize about liberals and who and what they are, lets do the same for them.

First, they grow up with racist parents so that is their mindset. If you do not come from a white, 5th generation or greater family, you are not american and do not belong here.

Next, they grow up with guns and hunting, smearing blood on their face with their first kill, chewing tobacco and spitting. Their resolution to conflict is to beat something or someone up or shoot it.

They have to work hard all their lives in backwoods jobs with no benefits including health care or education. By the time they are 50 they look like they are 90 with no hope or future. They have emphysema from smoking.

They have had 4 or more children, a slew of grandchildren, some of which are the same age, all of which face the same training, back ground and life they have had.


So, does that categorize all conservatives fairly neatly in a nutshell? I'm sure they all fit that mold and would agree.

This is a joke right? He has the house and senate!! Now it's Dems fault he can't govern? If trump would've kept some of his main campaign promises he would've been so popular right now. Let's see what he hasn't done.
1.He promised to repeal Obamacare and replace with something better. Result-both houses have proposals that will take away care.
2. Promised to work for middle class and stop letting wall street get over. Result the house just gutted Dodd frank.
3. Promised to raise taxes on top percent. Result- biggest tax cut in history for the wealthy.
4. Promised to build wall paid for by Mexico. Result- Nada
5. Promised a big infrastructure bill. Result A tentative proposal that would screw us with a bunch of toll roads.


If he would stop golfing and do the hard work instead of signing a bunch of executive orders which he derided obama for, he could be a good president.

Lightbulb What are conservatives so angry about?

Anything

Everything

Specifics don't matter.

They're told to be angry and so they get in step and stew about whatever.

25 years of hate radio and 20 years of Fox News have worked for the mouthpieces of the right. Their constant message of America sucks and it's all your neighbors' fault!" has resonated with their easily led audience.

I'm mad because I'm seeing this country torn into two. It's always about "the left" and "the right" for people anymore. Every side ******* and moans about the hate coming from the other side but I'm seeing really no one on either side actually willing to do anything about it. Who are the prominent Democrats and Republicans actively calling for peace across the aisle? Trump's not. Ryan's not. Warren's not. Schummer's not.

If people give a ****, they should do something. And if they aren't willing to do something, they need to stop pretending to give a ****, step aside, and let the adults run things.

It's the so-called adults who ran things so badly.
