Bla, bla, bla......and yet, America is actually becoming great again. I know. It must be difficult to process for some of you.

In what way/s do you think America is becoming great again? Is it Trump’s embrace of all races and ethnicities? His mature, statesmanlike conduct? His success in reviving America’s coal industry? His elimination of many pesky environmental regulations that stymie big businesses ability to drill and strip mine in formerly protected public lands? His efforts to rid America of our excessive number of allies while developing personal friendships with murderous dictators? His winning tariff war strategy with China that is giving U.S. tax dollars, in the form of emergency subsidies, to America’s farmers just to keep them (well, not all of them) from going bankrupt? His ability to commit multiple crimes as president and manage not to be indicted (for now)?

So many wins!!

Grandpappy, you just stepped on your own doodoo!

One thing about winning WWII was that there was great unity among us. Politics did not interfere in any way during that period of time. We all worked toward a common goal and Roosevelt was a uniter and not a disrupter. That was great!

Show me where there has been any positive attitude and enthusiasm with Trump. All I see is disunity, abasement, unhappiness, incompetence and hate. He has us fighting each other. What is great about that?

Dem moderates have been destroyed. Progressives fighting Socialists. Identity politics and labeling are the order of the day. Yea, the Dems make it hard to find goodness.

You’re welcome.

Understand that your feelings/emotions belong to you. No one has the ability to make you feel one way or another. How does one person feel one way, another person feel something different?

A person does not have that kind of control over another. There is no control, there is only consent. If you are inclined to consent, then that is your decision. The other person is not making you feel “X” “Y” or “Z.”

I wouldn’t say most, but some are. But that is consent.

Neither you, nor I, can make that kind of call. Everyone is different.

The left often claims to be winning the “culture war.” To be at war means some kind of aggressive action/or attack. I’m merely using their own words.

I not sure you are being accurate in what you are saying. There are more people working today than there was 4 years ago. Wages are up. Labor participation rate is far better than it was. There are reportedly more jobs than people to fill them. And public assistance is at an all time low.

It is far more beneficial to the country to lift the bottom up, instead of punishing the family with additional taxes to give without conditions to a taker.

You don’t help anyone by punishing working families with additional taxes and “fees” just to give to people who are too lazy to provide for themselves. That’s what I mean by lifting the bottom up, not punish others with the burden of footing the bill. This is how the left destroys families and makes them depend on gov’t and therefore generate another vote. It helps only the leftist elite who craves power over others.

I don’t have any confidence in you believing anything I have told you.

More people working today but..................

For most U.S. workers, real wages have barely budged in decades

On the face of it, these should be heady times for American workers. U.S. unemployment is as low as it’s been in nearly two decades (3.9% as of July) and the nation’s private-sector employers have been adding jobs for 101 straight months – 19.5 million since the Great Recession-related cuts finally abated in early 2010, and 1.5 million just since the beginning of the year.

But despite the strong labor market, wage growth has lagged economists’ expectations. In fact, despite some ups and downs over the past several decades, today’s real average wage (that is, the wage after accounting for inflation) has about the same purchasing power it did 40 years ago. And what wage gains there have been have mostly flowed to the highest-paid tier of workers.

Regular workers have not made one additional dollar and yet the income of the rich has increased by 937%. You call that progress?

Good for rich people. I love it when people make money.

You must be rich, is all I can say.

I'm not hurting, if that is what you mean. But I'm not the envious type. I love to see people make money and succeed.

Nonetheless, you side with the rich. That is certainly evident. You are not showing humanity for the less fortunate.

Here is a story you should see. Tell me how you would explain it versus the rich.
