The elitist left, with trust funds and gated communities need to step out of their limousines and experience what is really going on in America. They still cannot figure out why almost 90% of the counties in America voted for Trump.
The media has been slinging the “dark” thing around for months. I think it’s ridiculous.
My wife and I were cheering all through the speech. I thought it was hopeful, exciting, patriotic, and refreshing. I was uplifted.
But you can call it “dark” if you want to. I guess that fits “the narrative”.
I don’t know much about urban cities because I prefer to avoid them, but I’m sure his metaphor is accurate.
However, I heard it in a different context. When Trump talked about n economy in decline, I think of the small midwestern towns where the factories that once brought in outside money that fueled prosperity are now nothing but weed-filled vacant buildings where the moms and dads of the kids now forced to eat crappy school lunches once worked. Kids who taught the nuances of condom use but not American history by unionized teachers who are all over the “danger” posed by a rubber knife but are clueless about the damage they are doing to American culture. Families that now must rely on food stamps and part-time jobs while hiding their worries from the kids and doing the best they can to try to remember what the American Dream is all about in a harsh world they did nothing to create.
This is the carnage the Obama years has brought. And the hope that Trump represents.
As long as Media Matters is in existence, we have no free press. Flip the channels and watch the talking heads on all networks parroting the same theme. I fail to see how they can hold themselves out there as a check on government when they themselves are controlled.
When I’ve traveled in the U.S. in places where I’ve lived
during my 70 years, just driving down to the court squares
is a jolt viewing the empty buildings that used to house
many going businesses, or riding in the outskirts of the
towns, seeing factories deserted where my mother worked
when I was a child is depressing. - EVERYBODY can’t teach
at some prestigious university or get paid huge salaries
to do virtually nothing. (Nor do us “commoners” even desire
such a “position”.) The rusting, aging metal & boarded-up
windows are Hussein’s LEGACY.
