Lol, someone just blocked me for commenting negatively about Donald Trump.
Now I know I shouldn't care but this one got me thinking about my whole "who was right and who was wrong" scenario I think about often.

Right and wrong is only your opinion when it comes to politics. You know the old saying that you don't discuss religion or politics among friends and enemies.
You will not convince anyone on here to change their view so why bother? It just stirs emotions up within you and there is nothing you can do about it except stay mad.
Nothing is always a clever thing to say and often a good thing to do.

@MistyCee But these days it turns into an impossible subject because of the dislike for Trump. People do not want to look at the good he has done so far, they just want to stay focused on things that will not happen, like impeachment and resigning. Things are fabricated to keep people in an uproar. The left demanded that we give Obama a chance or we would be racist. But they are unwilling to give Trump the same chance. Like Obama, Trump is OUR President and should be accorded the same things that were demanded of the Right for Obama. I said the same about Obama when he was President.
But we did not have people calling for a summer of resistance and civil disobedience when BO was President. Your last sentence says it should not be an impossible subject and people should politely disagree.
That has not happened because everyone thinks they are right.

@bigjohndl I respectfully would disagree about dislike for Trump being the only cause for political incivility. Certainly, that's a part of it, but Trump has sort of taken political incivility to a whole new level, and he rode a wave of it to get into the White House to begin with.
I tend to think his presidency is a symptom of the bigger problem. But I could be wrong. I REALLY don't think so, but hey, it wouldn't be the first time.

@MistyCee The thing is, that no one is going to be happy with the politicians 100% of the time. I have been a successful businessman all of my life and I for one have thrived under Republican administrations because they did not want to tax me to death just because my businesses were successful. I had some good investment years under Obama, but then the regulations that the Congress under his admin started in with created undue burdens on my business.
My investments under Trump have been very good so far and his Presidency has not affected my lifestyle and business. I do not pay attention to all the things that people don't like about him personally because it is just sour grapes on their parts.
At least we can agree to disagree.
