That was the case 155 years ago.
Is that relative today?
This is a group of conservative republicans who represented the party of Lincoln just a few years ago.
It's not ironic that you and people like you now ostracize them and worship trump. Just sad.
Trump and the One percent group do not speak for me. I speak for myself:
I'm of the opinion that Dems left the train station a long time ago. My grandparents DEMS no longer exist and ending the Clinton era, thru G.W. Bush and Obama they all have been problematic parties and fleeced America.
What gets me is that current DEMS cannot accept defeat, dust themselves off and get a better candidate. Make said candidate presentable with a good track record of accomplishments. Instead, they fought tooth and nail at impeachment, made up stories left and right and could not prove with any refutable evidence to have the sitting President impeached all the way thru both House of Representatives and the Senate. It was sickening what they did to people throughout that whole process. In reality, the ring leaders need jail time.
Then, COVID-19 comes along and DEMS jump on the bandwagon to take more freedoms from Americans than ever before and mismanaged their own states (I'm looking at you Governors Cuomo and Gretchen Whitmer). For the most part, I trust no numbers of cases positive and deaths as it is total bullshit since Testing and the results cannot be standardized (false positives...false negatives). What is right? Meanwhile, sweeping bailouts in the Trillions of $$$'s and keep everyone home for far to damn long was a terrible disservice to all workers and business owners. That is a huge failure of Democratic Government that I've ever seen. Instead of pandemic it was damn panic thru and thru.
Here is where we have common ground. The bad cop was stupid and is being charged for murder and rightfully so. It appears that one party will try to ride this Chaos wave as part of a new chapter all the way to the White House. That will be the new playbook chapter. Change in procedures and how humans are dealt with are necessary. Can the existing Leadership learn and stop the Tweeting to antagonize and poke the bear? The jury has not reached that verdict, but it isn't good. My opinion is that no President should use devices such as Twitter to give statements that fire up each party. That is disaster. Be a damn President for God Sakes and let results speak for themselves!
BTW, I've listened to Brian Neubert's Quarantine Simulcast and applaud his authenticity to speak out.
It is the very basis of our American Freedom of Speech, right to assemble peacefully and protest, get results by meeting Leaders and finding ways to change.
