All this emotion pouring out, people nearly crying but the life of most Americans won’t change at all. The door is ajar for “Smart” Trump, if such a person exists.

Renton 2,146 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 I don't know if America can be healed. It depends whether Trump is the symptom or the cause. If it's the latter, maybe there is a chance. But I think it's the former. Scratch the usually genteel face of American people, underneath there seems to be an undercurrent of pure hatred and racism. I sometimes think it was Obama who initiated over the current problems, a very large minority just couldn't accept a black man as POTUS. The US is undoubtedly a great country, it has the resources to stay so. I genuinely hope it can because if the US is fucked we all are. Link to post Share on other sites

It had actually died a death when Trump revived it on 2011 by saying his birth certificate was fake. Even with nonsense like this Trump lost the popular vote twice. That tells me its a exceedingly vocal minority, but that's still probably 1-2 million.... Link to post Share on other sites

I can't recall the numbers now but it's worth noting that a reasonable percentage of working class white people who voted for Trump, also voted for Obama. Clinton lost their votes. So it either has a woman problem, or it has a rage at the status quo and general shitness of life problem. I mean it has a race problem too, clearly Link to post Share on other sites

Anorthernsoul 861 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Greed at the very top has always been the problem in the US and always will, same for everywhere in the world really. The money men pull the strings, even the people with big ideas for the growth of humanity are held back by the paymasters. Sad but true. At least Biden seems like his heart is in the right place.

That's the Cuban ex-pat influence. They believed the communist argument, which would have (apparently) led to a rapprochement with Cuba and all that would entail. Also, probably a lot of them (especially the undocumented ones) probably work for him. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He's only a symptom, the cause is the same as it is in the UK and here in Australia, cunty Rupert.
