It's a good thing people are finally trying to pay attention to politics after completely ignoring them for the last 20 years. It's a bad thing that people do not understand politics so decide that everything that Trump does is "the devil" when realistically a lot of the things he is doing are practical and should have been done long ago. For example, a freeze on hiring in non-security government positions and shutting down NPR and PBS that is meant to counter growing government and MAY even help shrink government. Something that is long overdue and even the most ardent of Trump haters I know would have said they are in favor of (if anyone else but Trump enacted these measures). This happens when you are brought up in leftist controlled school systems and watch CNN like gospel without fact checking from a wide variety of different sources on both sides of the divide.
This lack of variety in people's information (for which there is no excuse in this day and age) is also the reason that people hate every single one of Trump's cabinet positions despite the fact that they are all successful in multiple avenues of life rather than just career politicians who are being groomed to be the next <insert political position here>. We have seen how this grooming of people without real world experience has left the US. I mean, Hillary Clinton was the "most qualified candidate ever" despite the fact that her qualifications were garbage. First lady as a qualification? What? As a
senator she did nothing and certainly nothing good and the only reason she was a senator was because of who her husband was.
She was by far the worst secretary of state, ever. I don't know how much uranium she needs to sell to Russia, how many bribes she needs to take from Saudi Arabia, how many third world countries experiencing natural disasters she needs to embezzle from and take advantage of, how many weapons she needs to sell to terrorists, how many governments like Libya she needs to be involved in overthrowing, how many times she has to advocate for using Nukes on places like Iran, how many lies she has to tell the American people about her roles in places like Benghazi (note: she had to lie for Obama to be re-elected as there was a precedent set when the whole Carter-embassy thing happened), and so on, for her to be considered a bad secretary of state by Democrats who were never really watching.
As Nigel Farage said, "most of you guys [career polticians] have never held a real job in your life". Having a long career in politics, considering how bad politicians have screwed things up, should not be considered an important job requirement for any of these positions.
Also, since when do Democrats hate the Russians? They used to LOVE LOVE LOVE the Russians. Or was that just when they were the Soviets and involved in a deep and bitter cold war with the US? Do the Democrats only like the enemies of the US or do they only like communists?
Start a war, overthrow a dictator, feel good about yourself, ignore the countries that fall into shambles afterwards. Give foreign aid to a dictator, feel good about yourself, ignore the fact that the dictator uses it to pay off his generals and further oppress his people. The Democrat way.
If you give a man some fire, he'll be warm for awhile. If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
