Yes, I live my life in accordance to everything I say. Why wouldn't I? What evidence do you have that I don't? Besides your own short-sightedness? Most of what you project on me simply isn't true. I think you cast a hill-billy stereotype on conservatives when that in itself, is a very backward approach. Just because you and I disagree fundamentally on almost everything, makes neither of us intrinsically racist. I see you as well-intentioned but highly deluded. You seem to think I'm highly deluded and malevolent. That's another very common trait amongst Liberals - they see conservatives as fundamentally "Evil". It's a nonsense and juvenile attitude, largely the result of ignorance and laziness. Liberals have no desire to entertain conservative values, viewpoints, reasoning or logic. When faced with conservative viewpoints, many Liberals mentally switch off cause all republicans are 'bad'..... I could debate the facts for hours and substantiate all of my views with logic and fact. 95% of Trumps agenda is just common sense. Liberals lack common sense. They go by feelings. If someones feelings are hurt, pass a law. Business is bad. Profit is bad. save the earth. This is basically the height of their intellectual sophistication, in many cases. Liberals are lightweights when it comes to the issues. Hillary was arguably one of the sharpest Democratic candidates in recent memory, and on the topics of immigration, border security, ISIS and trade, her arguments were largely just emotional appeals to inherent prejudices against 'racist Republicans'. Americans saw through that, saw that she had no real solutions, saw Trump had real solutions, and rejected Clinton.
Had Bernie made it to the General, most likely he would have beat Trump. Bernie and Trump are half the same - end offshoring.
The point is we need real solutions now. And we need to acknowledge real problems.
Going forward, political candidates from all stripes who fail to both:
1) articulate and acknowledge real problems
and
2) offer clear workable solutions
will lose. It's that simple. People are done with the bullshit. We could get a progressive/liberal Government for the next ten years, if they evidenced the above.
And what is the above? Common Sense. That's all the people want. They don't want dogma. They don't want to be lectured too. They don't want to be told how to live, think and feel. They just want common sense solutions to real problems they face. Thats it. I don't see how that's evil. I think that's enlightening. It's also one reason why Trump won - he's not a social conservative. He's not seeking to impose the Christian conservative perspective on America - ban gay marriage etc. This is the problem with the traditional Left and Right - they have their share of social controllers. Christians on the Right and hardcore Liberals on the Left. Can we just get these busy-bodies out of our lives? I'd like to live mine unmolested by the dictates of some pseudo morality police. Morality policing oh man. How people love it. Morality policing is just cover for people who seek to control others. They need a reason. So how about I'm more moral then you, so do as I say. Anyway, I think we can both agree those days are largely coming to an end. And i think we're all better off for it.
