The same way we got this idiot in the first place – stupid people. A vast majority of people think our government is totally dysfunctional. They believe that the gap between the government and the people has widened so much that it’s time for a complete overhaul. Many thought that trump would be the “savior” who would bring about that overhaul. Yet instead of getting us out of the rut, he deepened it further.
Our government is dysfunctional. The few “up there” have lost sight of the rest of us “down here”. People make a nation, not government. If one were to compare a nation to a house, the citizens would comprise the foundation, walls and the roof, while the government would be the utilities. Utilities are essential for the operation of the house, but they don’t support it. Currently, our government thinks it’s both the walls and foundation, while the people are the roof. Our government believes it has to support everyone and everything, while the people keep off the rain. In other words, the people endure the hardships while the government stays “dry”.
Our government has grown fat and lazy. It mocks justice, it enacts laws that benefit itself (keep it growing) and a few of its “friends” (the wealthy), while spitting in the face of the very ones who actually support it (citizens). The people in Washington act as if they’re gods (and I’m not just referring to the president). No matter what they do or how they act, they expect the people to worship them and be grateful (now peel me a grape). People are getting tired of peeling grapes yet never getting to taste one. Yet although they gripe and complain, they keep on peeling grapes. Then when some wannabe autocrat comes along claiming he’ll “change things”, the people quickly mass behind him, completely ignoring his past behavior. They want change so bad, but they’re not willing to make the change themselves. They want someone else to do it for them. They cry to this “savior”, “Make us great again!” … and peel him a grape.
You’re right, trump has tarnished both the title and the office - possible irreparably. I too am embarrassed to say I’m an American. The rest of the world ridicules us. In my opinion, our last “good” president was Reagan. We’ve kind of been going downhill since. Clinton was a lying pervert, Bush (W) wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Carter was milquetoast like Pence.
People up here don’t want to wear masks either. With crowds flocking to the waterways and the planned “gatherings” this weekend, I expect the case count in this county will rise substantially in a few weeks.
This is just my opinion - Carter is doing more after his presidency than he did during. He was simply a weak president. I thought Reagan was a strong president. I was very young then and I could be wrong. I also think Nancy ran the country during the last 2 years of Reagan’s presidency. I don’t remember much about Reagan as governor (I was a tad bit young at the time). Clinton may have done a few good things, but as a leader, he ranks up there with trump – someone not to emulate. Obama was ok, but I have one thing against him. I know you will disagree with me strongly on this point. What I have against him is that he legalized homosexuality (something that I am strongly against).
Love is never wrong. Anyone can love anyone else. In fact, God commands us to love everyone. His only command is love Him and love others (all the other “commands” merely emphasize this one command). If everyone loved everyone else we wouldn’t be in the mess were in today. It’s not love that God condemns, it’s the violation of His design. He designed male and female bodies for procreation (male+male or female+female cannot procreate). Anatomy 101. People turn to homosexuality to carry out their perverted lusts. God didn’t tell us that homosexuality is bad because He’s mean or doesn’t want people to “have fun”. He told us it’s wrong because it can/will hurt us. Look at all the controversy and hatred the subject causes. Look at the diseases that can happen from it (ie AIDS). Everything that God tells us is for our benefit. To help us live better, happier, and healthier lives and spare us from a lot of pain and sorrow. God is our father. And just like any loving dad, He wants what’s best for His children. Unfortunately, we’re often too headstrong to listen to Him. We think we know the best way to live. And so we suffer.
