The thing that I really love about Trump's tweets is that they drive
people like you absolutely crazy, and make it clear that you still
don't have a clue why you lost the election. Part of leadership is
learning how to identify and disarm your enemies, and Trump does that
very effectively with his tweets, because you guys can't talk about
anything else.
The phrase "Make America great again" is not about a return to the
1920s, and the end of the welfare state or ignoring the environment.
I haven't heard anyone even suggest those things, which shows how
completely moronic and laughable your statement is.
..... Omitted ....
Anyway, have you read today's tweets? I'm sure you'll find something
to scream about.
I'm very disappointed by that rant, I always thought you had some sense. Quoting Brietbart really? Really? I read your site daily, and you have excellent observations in your daily columns. You argued against the resident Fascist at length, at the old forum, and now on this one. I even agree (and have always agreed) that a Generational War is coming. I've read and thoughts about a sneak attack by the Chinese would be a great opening move.
But, now with this response dragging out all of the old boring tropes, and outright propaganda if the current political climate has gotten to you too.
Shaking my head and sad.
