Why I stand behind the US President....

Just for the few uninitiated people on here who confuse blogposts for threads, these are my opinions/facts I found on the internet/ravings. This is not intended to start a debate, but rather, to inform on why I think the way I do. If you want to debate, take it to the politics section and create a new thread. I will allow comments, but any that are only to shit-post, attack, insult, or just to be hateful will be deleted. I welcome your opinions but respect mine.


Why I stand behind the US President and his administration, and why I feel the left is wrong to hate him.

If you watch any late night talk shows, tune into main stream media channels, visit mainstream news websites (other than Fox News), or even when you relax and enjoy your favorite comic book or tv show, you'll will, more likely than not, be inundated with leftist viewpoints and/or outright attacks on right-wing values. This matter has come to the point where I no longer watch tv anymore due to my values being assaulted constantly by those in charge of our entertainment.

I can understand why a lot of millennials, "free spirited" individuals, and foreigners can think Trump and the right are evil, racist, xenophobic, etc. They are constantly being fed the same lies about how they should think and feel, all day and night, over and over again, until they start to believe it so much that any ideas that oppose the ideals they have bought into, is totally wrong and only means to destroy them.
I have had discussions with people who are so brainwashed in the left's viewpoints, that they absolutely refuse to agree with anything on the right. Even if Trump would come out and say "air is good, everyone should enjoy it and breath it in", these people would hold their breath till they die rather than let Trump be correct about something in their mind. A lot of untruths told about Trump can be easily contradicted with a simple internet search such as the "he said all mexicans are rapist...." lie.

The truth is that if anybody who thinks the Republicans/Conservatives are racist, evil, hateful, anti-any groups, etc would take a few minutes to actually look at the policies of the Democrats from the Jim Crow laws and all the up to how they would rather take care of illegal immigrants before helping US citizens, you might wonder, for a change, what the Democrats are actually all about and who their best interests are out to help. Take some more time to actually think up a policy the left has created since Trump took office to help anybody that does not involve trying to impeach the president.
Another issue I have with the left is the fact that a lot of them will not support the president of the USA regardless if they like him or not (which I find funny figuring everybody loved Trump before he started to run for president). The media has even assaulted his tariff policies to the point they were close to causing a recession with their rhetoric even though our economy is the strongest it's been in decades, just ask Jim Cramer.

I don't even want to go into the whole "Russia scandal" and "Trumps a russian spy" nonsense. You all should know how this turned out and how much time/money was wasted on this. Let alone, the whole "impeach Trump" fiasco that is still going on. Imagine if the House democrats spent that time and effort on actual policies and getting things done. Too bad this will most likely go on for another 5 years.


Now, I'm not saying the right side of the aisle will create a Heaven on earth with rainbows, butterflies, and unicorns running all over. They also have a few policies I disagree with as well, but that is not the topic of this blogpost.

Just to start on why I support Trump, here are some of his accomplishments so far in his presidency as of this blogpost:

I know, some of you who think Trump can do no good will think to yourself or post a nasty comment about how these are lies, they never happened, or "but, but, but Don Lemon/Rachel Maddow/Trevor Noah/Steven Colbert told me Trump does nothing good". Just keep in mind that if these were lies, the left wing media would attack them constantly in order to have them removed from the site.

Like I said in my first blog, I didn't like Trump at first. I thought he was just a reality tv/business man who just thought of himself. I wasn't sure why he was running as a republican as he was a staunch liberal for many years who even supported the Clintons during their time in office. With just the attacks I noticed, I always wondered why he would want to stay president with all this hate towards him. I know I would quit my job if I took half of the crap people were throwing at him.

After realizing just how much the left was attacking him for nonsense stuff like his hair, his kids, how many people shown up at his inauguration, fake news about him saying racist things, etc along with the fact that even his republican colleagues were attacking him, I started looking at his policies. I was surprised at how much he was actually working towards making "America great again" and getting things done. Now fast forward to today, with the economy being better than ever, unemployment being at all time lows for everyone including POC's, and the fact that he is actually building an effective wall ("Oh, the wall is going up!!!"), I just don't see how anybody can be against him and his administration.

To end this, I will just say that, we should all support him regardless if you hate him or love him because he is our president, he is making this country great, and he is going to win in 2020.

@SG854 Thanks for the thoughtful comment. These are the types of intelligent conversations my mind thirsts for rather than the tiresome "Trump is an orange dummy because I said so" replies with no context, the "my point is the only one that matters, so I won't bother with yours", or the classic, "you're pathetic". Granted, I reply back with the same style sometimes but, usually, only if that's the most I can expect from the other person. I am also aware that this isn't the best site for broader conversations, but this is a site with young and old that should be involved in, and informed on, what goes on in their societies.

Now on to your comment. I really don't think all democrats are racist bigots who just want to take my money to pay for abortions. I do not think all democrat policies are racist (intentional or not).
Let's go back to the civil rights movement when President Lyndon Johnson (who was a democrat against civil rights most of his career) said, "I'll have those n-words voting Democratic for 200 years." This was a phrase associated with him after passing civil rights laws. By giving the black population "free stuff", he was under the impression they would always vote democrat.

For welfare, I agree that it was intended as a safety net for poor people of all races. The problem was that women were not able to collect welfare if there was a husband living with them. Being that black families were proportionally poorer than white families, this policy effectively destroyed black families as, before the civil rights movement, fatherless homes were around the 20% mark. Now today, that percentage skyrocketed to over 70%. Maybe not racist, but can be easily perceived as racially biased.

Affirmative action may have started as a way to give minorities after the civil rights movement the ability to achieve more by letting them score lower on tests, be employed with lesser skills, or make less money but still receive the same benefits as non-POC's (white people, in other words). Today, we still have affirmative action laws decades after when the laws may have been needed. Now, the laws can be seen as racist as they are saying that minorities are not as smart, not able to gain wealth, not employable, etc. as whites or Asians without being given an advantage. These laws also may prevent whites and asians from going to good colleges, getting hired for jobs they are more skilled at, etc.

I can understand that democrats don't think of themselves as racist or for segregation. The problem is that when they divide society by race or feel a certain race is inferior to themselves and needs their support (white guilt), you are not treating these fellow humans as equals. I watched a video about voter ID laws where these liberal college students were calling the laws "racist" because black people are less likely able to get drivers licenses or state id's. They may not have thought they were saying racist things, but come on, really?

Not just Trump supporters, but also a lot of Republicans/conservatives, we may see these laws as racist due to them giving special privileges to minorities over the majority when we feel equality is the best practice. The democrats/leftist/liberals may see them as helping the lesser races reach the same level as the majority (whites). I, as a Trump supporter, do not feel that my black/latino/asian brothers and sisters are any lesser than me, and we should all get a fair shake when it comes to schooling, job offers, cash assistance, etc.

I could go on, but hopefully, this is enough for now.

@morvoran
Just going to say this.
there was a party switch after the civil war. So President Lyndon Johnson would be republican.

@monkeyman4412 Johnson is a bit of an interesting case study. From Wikipedia:

"In domestic policy, Johnson designed the "Great Society" legislation to expand civil rights, public broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, aid to education, the arts, urban and rural development, public services and his "War on Poverty". Assisted in part by a growing economy, the War on Poverty helped millions of Americans rise above the poverty line during his administration.[2] Civil rights bills that he signed into law banned racial discrimination in public facilities, interstate commerce, the workplace and housing; the Voting Rights Act prohibited certain requirements in southern states used to disenfranchise African Americans. With the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the country's immigration system was reformed, encouraging greater emigration from regions other than Europe. Johnson's presidency marked the peak of modern liberalism after the New Deal era.

In foreign policy, Johnson escalated American involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which granted Johnson the power to use military force in Southeast Asia without having to ask for an official declaration of war. The number of American military personnel in Vietnam increased dramatically, from 16,000 advisors in non-combat roles in 1963 to 525,000 in 1967, many in combat roles. American casualties soared and the peace process stagnated. Growing unease with the war stimulated a large, angry anti-war movement based chiefly among draft-age students on university campuses.

Johnson faced further troubles when summer riots began in major cities in 1965 and crime rates soared, as his opponents raised demands for "law and order" policies. While Johnson began his presidency with widespread approval, support for him declined as the public became frustrated with both the war and the growing violence at home. In 1968, the Democratic Party factionalized as anti-war elements denounced Johnson; he ended his bid for renomination after a disappointing finish in the New Hampshire primary. Nixon was elected to succeed him, as the New Deal coalition that had dominated presidential politics for 36 years collapsed. After he left office in January 1969, Johnson returned to his Texas ranch, where he died of a heart attack at age 64, on January 22, 1973"

In other words, he was pro-Medicare, pro-affirmative action, pro-immigration, and pro-gun control. All things associated with the modern Democratic party. It was ultimately his hawkishness on the Vietnam war which lead to the party splitting against him.

@MasterZoilus maybe read the blogpost (especially the top part) before posting a bunch of nonsensical hate and insults.
 
morvoran
@Xzi This blog is about Trump and the left, not LBJ. Also, did you happen to notice your source left out all the juicy bits? Please, try to keep your future comments/opinions related to the topic.

I just like how people seem surprised that he is doing exactly what he said he was going to do before he was elected. Whether you agree with the wall or not, you have to give him credit for actually doing what he promised to do.

@MasterZoilus uh, no, I leave plenty of discourse posts from people that actually took the time to read my blog, especially the top part that said hate, insults, etc would be deleted. I bet it took a long time for you to type that first hate post I deleted. What a shame.

@morvoran Just making a factual correction. Johnson was a Democrat, but not all of his policies were supported by Democrats. Bernie Sanders, and to a lesser extent, Elizabeth Warren seek a return to New Deal-style politics.

The reversal in party positions happened gradually around the turn of the 20th century, long before Johnson was elected.

@Xzi umm, yeah, but you posted the entire Wikipedia entry when you could have just posted a small portion and left a link. Also, I can't say for sure, but I assume (or rather, really hope) the other guy was kidding.

@DarthDub Hate speech is not free speech, isn't that a leftist motto? Try adding a little more context to your posts, also.
 
morvoran
@DarthDub Stay civil and don't post hate and insults then maybe I won't delete your posts. I'm fair to those that actually read my blogpost and respect my requests when commenting.

In case you are still unclear, just calling me names or terms such as biased or insulting Trump and me are examples of what I won't allow. Don't just post nonsense without substance to back it up. Oh, yeah, stay on topic. I delete off topic comments, also. Maybe go write your own blogpost, and you can delete all my comments on there. Only problem with that is, like you have done with my blog, I won't read it.

More like I called you out for having an obvious bias and you took it as an insult? Good grief. Next thing you're gonna tell me is that I'm a liberal cause I'm not.

@DarthDub See there? That's a comment that I won't delete even though it comes across more as a statement than a question. I don't remember what your posts said as I had to delete a lot of posts (one guy must have spent an hour typing one hate post), but, either way, if you just said I was biased with no context to back up your opinion, then it was just a post to insult me. That would be why I deleted it.

I wouldn't call you a liberal unless you gave me a reason to or your username only had three letters, for example: ABC, XYZ, or @Xzi . Then I would call you a liberal without question.

@chrisrlink Read the first paragraph at the top of my blog and then try commenting again without the insults.
