After Attending a Trump Rally, I Realized Democrats Are Not Ready For 2020

DJDuck

I’ve been a Democrat for 20 years. But this experience made me realize how out-of-touch my party is with the country at large.

I “walked away” over 40 years ago due to similar issues. For me it was primarily the overtly repugnant behavior of the left, coupled with a pessimistic message that leaned heavily on government solutions that is the hallmark of the Democrat party. This in complete contrast to an optimistic and libertarian leaning wing gaining traction on the other side. Reagan converted a large number of lost souls.

Me too👍🏻

And the biggest question of all was this: Did I hate Trump so much that I wanted to see my country fail just to spite him and everyone who voted for him?

The reality is that many people I spoke to do disagree with Trump on things. They don’t always like his attitude. They wish he wouldn’t tweet so much. People who are in cults don’t question their leaders. The people I spoke with did, but the pros in their eyes far outweighed the cons. They don’t love him because they think he’s perfect. They love him despite his flaws, because they believe he has their back.

And thus, the lesson of the bell curve is summarized.

Rather easily 34-17.

Bell curves are pretty much institutionalized racism imo

One of the big problems is polarization.

An example is guns: Over 80 percent of Americans agree there ought to be greater gun control. But the vocal, Alex JOnes, tinfoil hat types who think the government wants to take away guns yell at their elected officials.

The SJW fags on the far left do the same thing about any and every social issue. The truth is they're only about eight percent of the population, but they're the ones that yell at their elected officials constantly.

Talk radio and cable news don't help much...and now a lot of articles are just click bait to rile one side up, or both sides...

Constitutional rights are important things. Right now the left wants multiple rights and processes ripped from the constitution.

Fuck them!

The problem isn't polarization - it's that a large segment of the population is poorly educated about math, science and economics. Instead of getting a classical education they are indoctrinated and taught that feelings are more important than facts. I laugh when ever I hear that the dems are the party of science. Like I have said, I don't really care what you do with your life, just keep me out of it. Leftards feel that my views are polarizing, but my views don't cost them a dime. However, they don't want to leave me alone. They want my money, my freedom and my guns.

And if you asked me, I would say that I support common sense gun control. If a policeman has it in his car for protection, then I should be able to have a Glock pistol, a shot gun and an AR 15 under the 2A. No tanks, no full automatic weapons, no felons with guns and the current background check system. Anything else is a fascist trying to take away my freedom.

If it took police 63 rounds and AR15's to take down an armed suspect my wife might need 63 rounds and an AR15 to defend herself in our rural setting.

The public interacts with the same people as police.

Fortunately Surefire and Magpul both make reliable 60's.

That's a fact Jack!

I’ve said before - no problem with gun control laws limiting # of rounds and caliber of weaponry. So long as the military stationed within the borders and police are bound by the same limitations.

Quid pro quo, shall we say.
