The Trump base has been so brainwashed anymore. They've been told the media manipulates the left, which has allowed their media to manipulate them much worse.
Trump was the one who said America was a disaster, and only he could fix it. He made it worse by any measurable criteria. Now, when Biden got in, Trump's errors were being blamed on Biden before he was even in charge.
Today's republicans really don't stand for anything other than obstruction and projection. They look at the progressive policies and find (only) what's wrong with them. Fair enough, there is plenty wrong and it needs to be addressed. But then their solution is "don't do anything, because it isn't right". They rarely offer suggestions on what WOULD make things work. They are against infrastructure because of PORK. Well both parties have pork, so until you solve that, you have to choose between keeping America running with some pork, or just let it crumble, and gripe and blame.
They don't want to address racism because they don't experience it themselves, or because they "know a black person who was successful, so it doesn't exist".
They don't want to hold the 1/6 rioters accountable because BLM rioted. (Not connected)
They don't want to pay for healthcare because they've been told that's socialism, but they are the first ones in line if they can't afford their own.
They don't want to pay for subsidies in alternative fuels, but have no problem paying them for Oil and Gas.
The left is not "much" better, but at least they stand for something. Some of the left's ideas are WAY overblown. But rather than sit at the table to discuss, the right finds "what's wrong with them" and shuts them down.
They don't believe in free elections because they can't win free elections, so they make up lies to discredit the American voter.
Both sides are pretty awful, but the right is really just abhorrent these days, and absolutely hurting our country more than the left.
Yes, I know. The loud minority will start shouting and insulting me. But they won't offer up any suggestions. They won't acknowledge a single point where the left has a good idea, or where the right has been wrong. They can't.

We have been giving them for DECADES and you just ignore them.
"When you do the same thing over and over...."!
You have posted LOT of B.S. As they say, "You CANT have a reasonable conversation, with an
Europeans changed the demographics of North America the day they first landed here. The Native population never was given a vote, and 90% of the Native population in the Northeastern part of North America was wiped out within 50 years of first contact. Europeans also were the ones who brought slaves from Africa to this continent.
So.... who is the royal "we" you are referring to?
There were no immigration laws, established borders or countries back then everyone had a right to migrate here as this was an unexplored new land mass. There were no native Americans as everyone migrated here from somewhere else. Those that came from Europe had just as much right to come here as those who crossed the Bering Strait so your comparison to today falls flat.
Lack of squandering on high speed rail is an increasingly rare major success in preservation of the American way of life.
Yep, $80k private automobiles and no public transportations, where most cant afford a $20k automobile without a mortgage, such success indeed. America, best place in world to live..... IF YOU ARE RICH. So either become Big Daddy Warbucks or get out, I guess. We indeed are in the second Gilded Age.
No. First of all whites never had 4 or 5 children per couple. The highest it got in recorded history was about 3.5. Flooding the country with legal and illegal non-whites had by far most to do with changing demographics. Non-whites have also had reduced rates of children per couple.
The immigration act of 1965 along with lack of immigration law enforcement along with amnesty changed demographics and the country.
Homogenous countries have the right to exist. We never had a vote in this decision to change U.S. demographics.

We really started going down during the second term of Obama when the Far Left was gaining more influence and starting to sway public opinion and policy.
Trump was a break from all that nonsense and we were once again allowed to Love America.
We now have Biden and he is a total mess. I wasn't happy to hear yesterday that he is promoting a free crack pipe program for the drug users. I was not happy this morning to hear that we have spent nearly 2 Billion dollars transporting the nearly 2 Million illegal aliens to points all over the US. This does not even include the healthcare, welfare and everything else that is given to these people so they can survive. I'm also not happy that our leaders care more about the would be invasion at the Ukraine border but they don't care about our own border.
I'm not "pissed" at America, I'm just saddened that we are heading in a direction that we were never meant to go.

I don't agree with Oldglory on many topics, but this is generally true. My maternal ancestors from 12+ generations back arrived in what is now New England in 1634 and 1635, when there were perhaps 10,000 other recently-arrived "settlers" from England. Anyone who could survive the perilous Atlantic sea crossing earned their right to stay in the "New World". They carved out settlements near the coast and lived in close proximity to the "first people" that settled the region many thousand years earlier.
The first people that came to the New World from Asia did an incredible feat of populating the two vast continents from the Arctic to the southern tip of South America within a few thousand years, so the "new" land mass was actually pretty well explored.
