That's not safe to say at all. Almost no one on the left wants the country to do well, in fact, they actively desire for the country to fail because they hate the country. They desire to tear everything down and re-build a socialist nation.
Right now, the country has more internal enemies than external enemies and is under greater threat than it has been since the Civil War.
Yep, unfortunately this seems to be the case.
As the saying goes, "actions speak louder than words."
Democrat supported riots and violent protestors, along with Democrat ANTIFA are destroying businesses, damaging property, causing violence and death and disturbing nice peaceful public areas.
The Democrats want chaos and disarray, in order for more people to vote them in, and then depend on them to dole out government assistance as they mold the US into a socialist nation.
That's their goal for the US--and now it is no longer a secret. The Democrats are a destructive party.
You don’t care about the rule of law? Doesn’t matter that you follow a narcissistic liar? Four more years of trump will slide this country into third world status for sure and possibly into a dictatorship. Look at how Trump whines on a daily basis. He cries about the free press and media sources who don’t praise the moron in Chief. Pitiful that this country has a segment of people too busy fighting the civil war and worrying about minority’s getting civil rights. Your leader will have to clear things with Putin. We all know where Trumps loyalties lie. The traitor would throw this country under the bus in a heartbeat if the money was right. That’s all the Trumps care about.

Yep.
Look at him hawking Goya products from the Oval Office.
The Oval Office!
All because the Goya CEO stroked his ego.
He has no sense of decorum let alone awareness of ethical behavior.
He is in the WH solely to enrich himself and his family.
And people think that this is the better choice.
As I don't think you're a real person- or at least not the person you claim to be- why should I waste my time?
You've already spent ample time debating his assertions.......what would it take for you to answer that question? The problem for you is that you can't.
I've voted democrat most of my life and I've spent the last 3.5 years being as disgusted with Trump as anyone. These last few months though have taken what seemed like background noise about the radical left and amplified it into a loud, blaring wake-up call. The left in America has completely lost it's mind. It consists of either far left radicals or people who may be center left but apologize or enable far left radicals.
One of the new catchphrases we've been hearing is "Silence is Violence". This is meant to suggest that if you are silent on racism, you are complicit in the violence it causes. The irony of that statement is so ridiculous that it serves as a perfect example of the current leftist insanity!
- Someone who is silent or not vocal enough in denouncing racism is complicit in violence committed by others.
- Meanwhile, people who are LITERALLY engaging in REAL violence, burning cities, attacking and killing people, occupying parts of cities, etc are apologized for and enabled. Their bail is paid for and they are not held to account by the left for their actions.
So in the left's view. If I stay home, pay my taxes, follow the law, act like a responsible citizen and decline to participate in BLM protests or activism, I am more evil and contemptible than someone who is out burning cities, tearing down public statues and assaulting or killing people! Can you see why this is no longer my party?
However, that is not the reason why I brought up "Silence is Violence". I brought it up to turn it around and aim it back at the left. Your silence on what is happening to YOUR party makes YOU complicit as well.
I'm done with the left! I can't vote for Trump but I won't vote Dem either. Actually, as bad as I thought Trump was, the left in the last few months has horrified my more than the 3.5 years we've just suffered through. I never thought the term "defund or abolish" the police would be taken seriously. I never thought I'd see my own countrymen tearing down our statues and defacing our history. I never thought freedom of speech and ideas would erode to the point that it has in our media and universities.
The left champions itself as the party of science yet it will immediately silence and denounce any scientist that might contradict some of the left's sacred cows.
- We've seen it for decades now with climate change where any non-alarmist scientist is shunned and silenced.
- We see it with gender, where DNA no longer determines if you are male or female, your FEELINGS do!
- We see it with statistics on police arrests that show that racism is not the systemic problem it is being made out to be.
- We see it with Covid-19 and denigrating the effictiveness of Hydroxychlorquine simply to spite Trump who had advocated for it.
- We see it with people saying with a straight face, that mass protests and rioting are not a concern for spreading covid after we've just been told mass gatherings were bad and we could not see loved ones in their final moments in the hospital. We could not hold proper funerals but George Floyd had about THREE of them that were fit for a head of state!
Then we have the insanity of Cancel Culture, where you can have your life ruined by something you said 15 years ago.
This is a world where we have leftist professors in our universities saying the most racist, sexist things you can imagine with no shame or apology but if you tweet "blue lives matter" or simply say you approve of the duly elected president of United States as the CEO of Goya did, you deserve to be cancelled, boycotted and shamed.
This is a world where a children's cartoon like Paw Patrol is cancelled as offensive or triggering but the most vile gangster rap is condoned and celebrated.
This is a world where it's absolutely acceptable to be racist as long as it's towards white people. We call unpleasant white women "Karens" without any sense of shame or irony! Can you imagine if we had a represenative African American name for unpleasant black women? Can you imagine the media running article after article about the latest example of a "Shanice" behaving badly?
Can you imagine a bestselling book called Black fragilty or Asian fragility?
Can you imagine workshops to reduce your blackness?
It seems like the radical left wants to tear down the system. What do they plan on replacing it with? We had the opportunity to see this in action with CHOP/CHAZ and it ended as badly as you would expect. We are supposed to want to try this on a national level?
Our system is not perfect and it can be improved but tearing it all down and expecting whatever is cobbled together in place of it to work BETTER is just shear insanity that any thinking, rational adult should reject immediately.
Thank you for proving you don't know the first thing about how the US government works, it saves me a lot of time trying to talk sense into you.
Carry on kiddo.
Lol... can't refute the nuances of how legislation gets passed so you fall back on "b-b-but..."
I bet you have an explanation on how the party that's rabidly anti-tax somehow manages to pass tax increases under Democratic administrations, but not under Republican administration...

No....you just proved that you are far too ignorant of a person when it comes to the topic at hand for me to waste my time on. Hopefully one day you educate yourself to the point where you can engage in intelligent conversation on the topic, if that day ever comes, I'll be around.
I mean, you are currently trying to re-write history from just 10 years ago as we speak suggesting that Obama wanted to cut down the deficit when the reality was that he was forced into it kicking and screaming.....and that was just cutting things down from 1.6 trillion a year to 600 billion a year in deficit spending. Obama and the Democrats were saying Republicans wanted to kill Grandma because they attempted to force just a little bit of fiscal responsibility on them.....but I know, you've been fed talking points and you don't know enough to do anything but parrot them here.
The left are the Communist globalists.. who else would want us to lose our identity completely. They have attacked black statues of abolitionists. The statues of Jesus. They want to destroy our faith, our identity as a country and make us a global citizen under Communist rule.. this is what is now going on and it will get worse. I don't think that most of the democrat leaders know what is going on because they are complicit with all the radical actions . Either they are communists, or are bought off, or are silenced by the radical left and will not speak out against them for fear. They bully and intimidate. It is an all out war against our country, our symbols of freedom, even our culture.. They want to get rid of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben.. why? It is our culture. We are to have no identity, no race, not even sports.. it is all political now. They want to destroy all that is America. All...I believe the Communist have a strong hold on our Main Stream Media downing everything they can . The communists have infiltrated our colleges and Universities and have brainwashed the students.
One is not allowed to be a free thinker today. if you are a conservative and show your conservatism you are ostracized .
This has been happening for a long time . Decades and they have decided to make their move as Trump has put the American people first and this is not what the communist want. Trump is a great threat to their ideology of marxist communism.. Very plain to see this today. This is why they are creating havoc, with the mail stream media on their side.
