How are the marches helping?

@VioletRayne: [b]Republican Party??![/b] ---
[b]The Republican party is a big part of the problem![/b]
The other half of the problem is the Democratic party!

The ultra-right and ultra-left have been willing to sell our country to the highest bidder as long as they keep their lush jobs and perks; I don’t see any of them caring about America! They’re just political slime and we DON’T need more political slime that show a fake public view on topics, and then keep their true political/corporate views of how they feel and how they really intend to vote in private.

If Donald Trump starts doing things that are not in the best interest of America and shows that he does not intend on bringing back American jobs as he promised. Then he will not just have you hanging around his neck like a noose, but all of Americans as well, because that is the ONLY reason he got elected.

Something you may not realize is; Donald Trump is not really a republican. He may lean more toward that party, but he is not one of them. The republicans know that and that’s why there was such an uproar about him winning their ticket.

Trump is a shrewd businessman who has benefited from the same advantages other big-businesses have in barely legal tax advantages, skirting gray areas in the law, and outsourcing jobs overseas. He is cut from the same cloth as the many businesses that have abandoned America and then try to ship their slave labor toxic products back to America. Most of us know that too.

But if he knows the corrupt system, how it works, how it is being gamed, and is willing to set up barriers to stop it and keep and return American jobs here so that we are not continuing sending money hand over fist overseas to buy the products that we use to make here; that’s a good thing, isn’t it?
Trump has said himself that he outsourced jobs because our politicians made it a good business practice to do so. I have heard that same statement from so many businesses who are barely surviving in America competing with businesses that don’t compete on a level playing field. We are at a point where we desperately need change or just accept that the America that we use to be is gone.

Please put aside your bitterness and let him have a chance. I’m not your enemy; I don’t think Trump is either. You may have preferred a woman president over a man – “any man;” but we have what we have, and we either try to work together to make America better, or pout like children.

Oh yea.
I don’t know if you’ve tried it, but that orange cool aid is gooood stuff;
but the purple stuff is to die for!!! You should try it. 😏

[c=#4C0073]I honestly don't care if was apart of the wig party. I'm not Republican or Democratic thought I do lean more democratic. I'm a moderate. I can't support the orange one. He's a pompous xenophobic misogynistic idiot and I won't support someone like that.

I also don't believe he is anything more than another facet of the corruption in this country. He has his best interests at heart and see the presidency as another good way to horde more money for him self.
[/c]@freedomtrails:

⏳ - Only time will tell, but I hope you are wrong about him having his best interest at heart. . . At the moment, only Donald Trump and God knows if that is true. From what I can see, Trump has lost so much more in running for office than he can ever hope to gain back on a presidential salary. He is being watched so closely that any hint of impropriety from the moment he is sworn in will be carefully scrutinized. That alone makes me think that “maybe his motives are not money and are in trying to save America.”

He is almost at a point where he is in a lose/lose situation.

If he succeeds, in bringing back some jobs; he will succeed in a small way because so much has already been lost that can never return. Even if he brings some jobs back; it’s not humanly possible to reverse time and un-grow huge deficit we have or to bring really good paying jobs back. We still have to compete with very – “[i]very[/i]” low wage overseas workers that he has no control over. Even if he levels the playing field somewhat with currency manipulation of predator countries, (which I think he can do), I don’t see he has the power to triple or quadruple the wages for the slave labor in countries like China.

So he’s either going to win a little, or lose a lot. Personally, that’s not a risk/reward scenario that I would want to be in, but that’s just me. Someone who puts himself in that scenario either knows a lot more than me and is capable of doing things beyond my wildest dreams, is ok with being hated for trying and succeeding on a small scale, or is a glutton for punishment. Personally, I’m not that smart or strong.

Some will be happy, but others will have unrealistic expectations that can’t be met; still others will hate him from the start for his unfortunate careless usage of words, lack of compassion/empathy for selected unveted groups of travelers, or just for the sake of being a man when they could have had a woman.

If he fails; he will fail on a huge scale. . . I’m pretty sure he is smart enough to know that, and his pride will keep his nose to the grindstone. But only time will tell.

@VioletRayne:

i heard people get laid too if you keep saying fuck trump

@anotherclone: lol. K

Using your first amendment rights to promote what you think is progress is pretty American to me. Many people genuinely didn't expect the election results to turn out the way they did and believe that hacking did play a role in it.

But considering the fact that people burned dummies on nooses when Obama got elected, I'd hesitate to say that today's protesters are most extreme in their behavior.

But it doesn't does it.
I mean nobody's questioning the result of the election.
But several folk tried to hijack what the march was all about today when you heard them speak at the podium.
They gave so many different political reasons for being there there wasn't a coherant thread between them.
