Who needs friends with enemies as counter-productive as the Demohacks are right now? They will drive even those who dislike Trump into voting for him, because they dislike the Demohacks more, just like they did in 2016, except this time Trump will have an incumbency advantage and booming economy under his administration to run on, on top Democrats driving voters away by doubling down on the derp from 2016.

Either way, President Donald Trump has remained remarkably resilient, even reveling in the twisting fits he causes for friends or enemies. A real estate developer from Queens with zero political office experience has managed to enrage and flummox even the most tenured of Capital Hill's partisan hacks, regardless of party membership. Trump is a force that they don't know how to deal with. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

By the time they figure out how to deal with Trump, he'll have secured his second term, so might as well tank to prove that their current strategy is doomed to failure. Quote

America is at least going in the right direction now: -Appeasement of Iran and NoKo is done -Isis isn't a large country anymore, -rioting & looting isn't commonplace in America anymore, -the economy is booming, -China's trade tactics are meeting new resistance, -the military is getting stronger -Russia isn't flexing their muscles in any new public places (Crimea and Syria started under Obama) since Trump took over. There are a lot of positive changes that have occurred domestically and on the foreign front since Trump took office. Obama's backsliding America has all but vanished.

There is no such thing. They either failed or switched gears and became oligarchies. I'm pretty sure workers were worked to the bone in either case. Name me a Canadian or American socialist that is saying this is what we should do too. I mean an actual name and a quote thereof, some something that isn't...nebulous. 1 Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
