Make America Great Again is shit
Trickle down economics is shit
Tea-party conservatism is shit
Evangelical Christianity is shit
Etc etc etc
Republicans really ruined America.
But in all honesty Zach, overly simplistic way of looking at things. All those things you mention arose and gained traction as reactions to the socioeconomic climate of when they were born... And the things I mention generally arose as reactions as well. The problem is not inherent to those things, it's that people take those things too far, they lose perspective as soon as they gain a voice.
Reactionary politics and Partisanship ruined America. The inability of Americans to find common ground, a middle space.
I'm not a fan of Trump. But i'm a fan of conservative libertarianism.
The thing i like about Trump is that he isnt politically correct, and the insane revelating of all the shit democrats did and do, exposing them.
I'm not a fan of his economic view. My utopia is a 100% free economy with 0 goverment regulations and no minimum wage. however, with china devaluating their currency and creating a huge trade deficit, and the amount of low cost jobs moving there, i'd really like to see what effect trumps economic model has on that.
i'm not neccecary a fan of an autonomous investment (ergo infrastructure) as a long term model, however, it does reboot a cycle of economic boom (in dutch hoogconjunctuur @Seven how does that translate ? boom ?)
Considering the decrepit state of american public infrastructure and roads, its needed. Considering the insane issues inside the black community, this amount of jobs is a great alternative to shooting a nellow nigga's brains out.
The black situation today, is greatly the fault of poor democrat management.
- between 1940 and 1964ties, poverty in black families decreased from 78% to around 40%. In a racist climate with unfair circumstances
- 1964 democrats began a groteque series of wellfare and anti povery incentives. Between 1964 and 2010 16 trillion doller was spend.
However, the steep decline of poverty came to a stop, and only marginally dropped. From 40% in 1964 to 27.3% in 2010
- people need an incentive to improve themselves, all the welfare created a lovely democratic voterbase, but that was not improving itself. In belgium we have this too, its called Wallony, the french part, where socialists rule by putting everyone on welfare
- clintons 1993 crime act had the consequence of taking mostly black fathers from their household and:
- Growing up in a one parent household, its by far and away the biggest factor to poverty
Two parent black households have a 7% poverty rate
one parent white single mother households have a 22% poverty rate.
Democrats spend trillions, and it led to significant increase in criminality : homicide 48.7% black males, rape 31.8%, aggravated assauylt 33.5%, robbery 55%. While only beeing 13% of the population.
Democrats failed. Black people dont need your welfare pampering. They need good and affordable housing, good schools to go to, tyrone's dad to not run away.
They made it worse by not acting against the racist biggot black lives matter. They made it worse by feeding the "institutional racism" bullshit.
