    I’m not parroting shit. Like I said, I’ve been following Trump’s shady dealings for 20 years. Clearly you haven’t.

    He’s well-liked among two groups: the ultrarich because he makes them money with his schemes and the wannabe rich because they are willing to do anything to get ahead. He was never well-liked by other groups.

      Do you have a source for this?

            I socialize with a lot of Leftists. At this point, Right and Left exist in different worlds.

            Choice of media, choice of story of the day (the thing everyone talks about), vocabulary… it’s all different.

            So there are things that are not strictly “true” which are taken as fact because they are needed to keep up these political tribal identities.

            It’s odd and unnerving but I think only when the two sides are BOTH extremist do we get actual options.

              That’s not how I see it. I used to be a leftist and I know for a fact that all their argumentation is based on ideologies, where an idea is more important than reality.

              While Conservative ideas are based on experience and tradition rather than wishful thinking.

              Also conservatives understand that if someone else is paying, they are not free.

              I will never agree to any similarity between left and right. it’s children’s minds compared to grown ups.
