1) What was the last constructive thing that the Democrats did for this country? (Protesting, whining, disrupting hearings and “resistance” does not count as constructive. Signing a new trade agreement between Canada, Mexico and the U.S. is constructive.)
Everything they do is constructive. The problem is, it’s for their communist purposes. They are Communists. A socialist is a Communist who is trying to trick you. Imagine a world where we could be “Republicans” but the end goal was “Complete and total, Bundy-protest style of freedom from government where we were all armed and able to take care of ourselves”. We would be “republicans” but the end goal would surpass Republican. that’s how they operate. It’s like us, only the opposite.
2) What constructive plans do the Democrats have in case they do win the House? I’m not sure that axing the tax cuts and abolishing ICE are constructive.
The further dismantling of the last bastion of capitalism and freedom on the earth. Like Reagan said, “When it’s gone, there is no where else to go”. They want that last bastion of freedom and capitalism to be destroyed.
3) What would the country and world look like now if Hillary had been elected? Consider these issues: first, there would probably have been no #MeToo movement; the investigations and stories about Weinstein (and all subsequent assaulters) would not have come out with the wife of abuser and rapist Bill Clinton in office. Secondly, there would have been no tax cuts, and no economic rush to prosperity. Isis would still be strong. North Korea? China? Would there have been more favorable trade deals negotiated? Doubtful. So what would Hillary have done, and where would our country be now?
By week 2 I am convinced there would have been a nuclear detonation on US soil. If Hillary were president now we would be in the stone age. It would happen that quickly.
4) What was the last great invention, work of art, music, theater, or poetry created under a socialist regime? What would our millennials (and older adults as well) do without their smartphones, internet, video games, etc.? ALL of these were created under free enterprise and capitalism.
Most of my favorite music is from Europe. I don’t think Socialism has anything to do with producing bad art. Except Rap. Rap is only possible when music can directly translate to money. Sigur Ros, Bjork, etc. They come from heavily socialist - almost communist - countries. Some great art has come out of Communism because along with happiness and triumph leading to great music, desperation and depression also produces some of the most profound art in human’s history.
My question for Trump is this: Mid terms are coming up. Where is my national reciprocation ?
Where are my awesome gun rights ?
Yes, there have been some great socialist/communist works, before Stalin cracked down. The Russian Constructivists (Malevich, Tatlin, and others) were doing dynamic abstractions when Lenin was in power. But then Stalin cracked down on works he did not understand. The great composer Shostakovich has a wonderful tension in his work that shows what his living conditions were like, the balance between creativity and the Communist party. Every time he left the house, he took his toothbrush and soap, uncertain if he would be picked up like other friends he had known.
There is also a period of creativity with the Mexican muralists: Rivera, Orozco, Siquieros and Kahlo.
This was all in the 1920’s and 1930’s, when Communist was still new and fairly fresh with ideas. When the rulers cracked down, that was the end of creativity in Russia.
What has been created recently in Venezuela, North Korea or even Russia? Not much....
