I am actually optimistic.
I see the economy doing well. Most people like that.
I see our foreign relations doing well. Most people like that.
I think we are about to see tremendous corruption and malfeasance exposed. Most people will be outraged.
There will always be a small percentage of Bolsheviks who hate Trump. But I think 80% of the American people will see him as a great president. I think this will happen soon. I think women, blacks, the young and the old will all rally to him.
I think the Democrats are already dead, they just don’t know it. I think the divide will be healed. Because there really is no good reason for the divide. It was always just a tool for the Globalists, and they are on their way out.
I also want to thank Jesse Kelly for his service.
Agreed. The MSM-Democrats spent the first year or two bashing Reagan, although they didn’t try to manufacture a scandal about the Russians, for obvious reasons.
As the economy improved, they toned it down a bit, but they never stopped hating him. They ginned up “Iran-Contra” in his second term, but it ran out of steam. When the Berlin Wall came down, it was all forgotten. I know that was the year he left office, but still.
The chances are good that Trump will be seen as a great President.

>>I am actually optimistic.
Why?
I read your reasons and they all assume rational thinking. If one believes in free markets and/or Christianity, then Progressivism is irrational at its core.
The greatest tool we have to force rationality on them is to make a realistic threat to separate. Then we watch the Prog leaders start backtracking on their claims of utopia as they realize that all the skilled people and people who are not over educated to the level of being useless will choose the Red states over the Blue. On Day One, their socialist utopia is doomed unless they can FORCE us to be in it, serving them with our skills and knowledge while they sit in judgement above us, making Five Year Plans and then remaking them while they blame the workers for failing to meet production quotas again and again.
Optimism in this case ignores human nature and a century of history.
I agree with most of your points except for the democrats being dead. The party may die but the indoctrination of several generations in our schools can not be turned around very quickly. The economic side can not outweigh the cultural side. If it does then we will have no moral standards and we all know what happens then.
I tend to agree with your optimistic outlook. The one wild-card that needs to be addressed and defeated is the Media. Virtually every reporter, newspaper, and television network are raging Leftists and therefore public enemies. The Media must be addressed. I believe fervently in the First Amendment and reject the concept of throttling the Media. We need to find ways to fix it. I’m not smart enough to suggest a solution. That may be a place to start.
I'm very glad that you are but I'm not, at least not in any long term. The fundamental problem as I see it is that we "Makers" are being displaced by the "Takers".
The globalists still control most of the GOP.
Until we wrest control of at least one party from them, they will continue to swamp US (US citizens) with fraudulently documented foreigners.
BIG BUMP!
I think the maximum percentage will end up being 60%.
We've let way too many in this country that hate the principles this country was founded upon. A large number of minorities have been brainwashed into hating Trump and "whiteness".
