Goes for both of the mainstream parties. It's also why at least 40% of the country doesn't affiliate with either the Democratic or Republican party now, identifying instead as Independents. Please don't group me into a (party). I take life at face value. I thought Obama did a lousy job as President. Did not like the results I saw from his leadership of our country, and believe we definitely digressed during his term. Now I'm hoping our new leader gets (our) country back on stable ground, and am very happy with the decisions he has made so far. Don't care what party he came from, just want him to do what needs to be done for the betterment of (our) country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern American politics has arrived at an absolutely perfect place, for politicians. The two parties treat each other as if the other party represents an evil force that must be stopped, and that has trickled all the way down to the electorate. Professed ideology in the face of enemy ideology is all that matters. Effective government, progress, and development are all secondary concerns, at best. In this environment, the winning strategy is to oppose everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you make comments like "The way I see it is that I took my medicine for 8 years and now everyone who is unhappy with Trump can take theirs," it's pretty natural to group you into a party. If you don't see it that way, then cool. But it's still a crappy way to look at our country and your fellow American, particularly considering the previous POTUS's positive approval rating when leaving office, meaning the majority of the country disagrees with your statement about Obama doing poorly.

There are a few things Obama did (or didn't do) that disappointed me also, but I would like to know specifically what you are referring to when you say the country "digressed" and what you expect from Trump that will rectify that.

But more importantly, it's inchoate. "Taking your medicine" means nothing without describing exactly what your are talking about in terms of policy. Without specifics, it's nothing more than mindless rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal is to iron out the wrinkles that Obama has caused in the past 8 years. He is not politically correct, and I doubt he gives a crap what homersapien or anybody else thinks about him. That's what I like most about him. Amen and AMEN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
