(2,781 posts)Ok, joking and my nerdy Star Wars references aside, yes, we will recover. Trump has done nothing that cannot be un-done.
The camp in TX had plenty of warning, this wasn't a NOAA failure in any way, shape or form, and the cuts did not affect this particular incident. It was the delay in heeding the warnings that lead to the deaths there. I already know that goes against the narrative, but I don't tow lines, I tell the truth.
It is the ridiculous hyperbole that is is dividing us. People are too quick to not only believe, but to spread misinformation rather than trying to think for themselves in a rational manner. What you described regarding troops in the streets is a good example.
The root of our problems is that DC has been full of filth and corruption for decades at this point. Scant few of them are there to actually represent us. DC is made up of people who are addicted to either power, money, or both, and they use media to keep us at each others throats, fighting and arguing while they do what they have always been doing.
Trump is an asshole, but he is not as portrayed by many. A good portion of it is propaganda. Like a standard recipe, an example of wrongdoing is true, and an entire false premise is built around it. We need to start being honest with ourselves before we can ever hope to have a chance of righting this ship. We gain support through merit, not by twisting things up and relying on character destruction. Doing so achieves the exact opposite of what we need, and that is for centrist voters to take us seriously for a change.
