Like your optimism.
I don't share it, I like it and hope you're right and I'm wrong.
In the summer of 2016, John Hawkins said If Donald Trump Is the Nominee, Hillary Clinton Has Already Won in November..
In this new article, notice how he simultaneously supports the Second Amendment yet says twaddle like The Right has gotten much more tribal since Donald Trump rose to prominence. What? Who's side are you on, dude?
His Lack of Shared Culture issue sounds more like Reichskanzler Hawkins misses the days when Nationa Review and New Republic had a monopoly on political opinion.
Call me Pollyanna but I too am hopeful for the future. The economy is doing well, Deplorables are in the ascendency and Trump got elected and is MAGAing all the time. In contrast, if this jackwagon had his way, we'd have NO Second Amendment guarantees but at least we'd have a shared culture under Hillary and NR would have more hits than Breitbart.
“Personally, I think the country is about to turn a corner and head to a much brighter future.”
I guess you are looking for a “dead cat bounce!”
I’m in agreement in the long term, but the short term ahead is quite a bumpy road.
I’m not optimistic either. I think we’re making our way to a socialist, communist takeover. Half our country thinks overthrowing an election is cool. A third have no idea what Auschwitz is. Sometimes you have to find out things the hard way.
