I'm with you on that. There hasn't been an honest president in my lifetime. Trump is different in that he doesn't even play the diplomatic game. It was inevitable that in a culture built on lies you'd have someone who just uses it for effect and distraction.
We really have devolved into my guy isn't as bad as your guy. And if your guy wins the world ends. Its all so absurd. I wonder how less engaged Zoomers will be from prev generations. It seems to me that all this nonsense is just becoming more and more obvious. That is a little bit of a silver lining I guess.
I think many will not understand what I'm saying here.
I get along with people I disagree with on politics almost all of the time. I'm not a control freak trying to get into their lives and control their choices. However, I cannot say the same for many in either party. Each side seems hell bent on exerting the power of government to force their moral views on everyone in the US.
I don't think most people care this much but the elites in these camps gain power and money by stoking fear and driving division. When one side wins they aren't content. They wanna expand their power. This is how a nation that started off with a very weak federal government now is the largest empire in the history of the world.
