I seem to understand that a good deal better than Trump himself.

But my criticism was mostly directed at the poster, who seems perfectly comfortable with any amount of sabotage of a critical service to influence an election, as long as it "benefits America". And that leads to really dark places.

The Post Office Department was created in 1792 with the passage of the Postal Service Act. It was elevated to a cabinet-level department in 1872, and was transformed by the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 into the United States Postal Service as an independent agency.[6] Since the early 1980s, many direct tax subsidies to the USPS (with the exception of subsidies for costs associated with disabled and overseas voters) have been reduced or eliminated.[7]

The USPS, as of 2019, has 469,934 career employees and 136,174 non-career employees. The Postal Service is legally obligated to serve all Americans, regardless of geography, at uniform price and quality. The Post Office has exclusive access[8] to letter boxes marked "U.S. Mail" and personal letterboxes in the United States, but has to compete against private package delivery services, such as United Parcel Service, FedEx, and Amazon.[9]"
My sarcasm transmitter seems to be low on output.

No thanks. I will try and leave eventually if things get worse once my youngest is off on his own if it's better by then i'll stay. I doubt it will be though, especially if leftist communists get power.

And still NO sign of anything remotely close to factual in support of an otherwise baseless allegation.


HINT: Allegations unsupported by FACT are in NO way , shape, or form 'patriotic' and are not remotely close to deserving the title of 'dissent'.

Again, I know many people on the right and they do not espouse this sentiment. Whatever your reason for starting an account in June of this year, I am going to have to wish you well and will not be interacting with you. I am genuinely concerned about your extremist ideologies and I honestly believe you might be of national security concern.

You're dismantling every ideal and principle you once could lay claim to.
These people aren't real Republicans, in fact a lot of Trump supporters were not in the habit of voting before Trump came along. When Trump is gone they will fade back into the underbrush and sulk.

Don't expect ideals and principles from that bunch, it is beyond them.

I am not right or left. I have beliefs like universal healthcare that I bet you would agree with I am socially very far right but economically not so much. I am no security concern lol I am a father and college student and just normal person who doesn't agree with the kind of political system we have because it doesn't work at all.

Don't take that guy (or team of people) seriously, he lives in St Petersburg but not in Florida.
