    Liberals believe Trump is the problem so they want to change the president.

    Leftists believe America is the problem and want to change America.

      Its both to some extent. Removing trump won’t fix the core issues but will stop the bleeding. Just look at how he’s still trying to get tarriffs in. That’s not a popular decision, even among MAGA these days. But it’s a cult.

      Put it another way; cigarettes aren’t your core issue, but it sure does help a lot to stop smoking.

        Yes, it’s not correct to say that Trump is ONLY a symptom. He’s willing to go farther than any other Republican ever has.

      Correct. Remember Mr. Hope and change? Well he was more to the right than Colin Powell. He would have kneecaps Social security if there wasn’t a group of Tea party that couldn’t be seen working with him.

        Some of us are old enough to remember the Obama years (and Powell). This shit is just an outright lie.

        He would have kneecaps Social security if there wasn’t a group of Tea party that couldn’t be seen working with him.

        Outright lie.


        Obama was a milquetoast, liberal disappointment. But how about getting your message across without blatant, absurd lies? Have you tried that yet?

        Are you interested in educating people about Obama’s deficiencies, and how to avoid them? In showing people that he was a disappointing, capitalist, center-right president?

        Or are you just interested in making stupid shit up instead? Because the latter tactic unquestionably undermines completely any valid argument you may have had.

      By making it a shithole for vulnerable people and then not doing anything to actually make it better?

        You’re thinking if your average Democrat. The Democrat party is right-wing. We’re talking actual leftists. The type of people who want the government to work for the people. If MAGA can take over a political party, we can too.
