    No. That description was meant for the Trump base, and If you can't see that it is Trump who is dividing the country, oh well.

    Oh please. It's so easy to assume those who disagree with you are just stupid, indoctrinated, whatever. Much harder (and more productive) to try and see things from their point of view. That you can't even imagine why an honest person might object to Trump suggests to me a pretty skewed view of things.

    So you feel the country was united before Donald Trump was elected? Is that what your friend told you?

    You seem to have missed the point. Disagreeing with Trump policies is one thing but calling him deeply derogatory names without debating those policies, is quite another. If you don't see that then you are a true leftist.

    My friend didn't mention the Democrats. She was strictly talking about the Republicans. That's why I asked you what your source was that the Republicans are "doing quite well".

    They are doing quite well when compared to the Democrats. What other criteria can she be using?

    Getting worse as we speak. No effort to improve race relations in our country. Friend? When did my friend enter into the conversation?

    I didn't miss the point. Trump's personal qualities genuinely appal me. I don't call him names but I fully understand the anger which makes others do it. Yes, it's not helpful, it causes the debate to quickly degenerate, but frankly you throwing around insults like leftists being indoctrinated is no better.

    I try to have facts on my side while leftists tend to rely on their feelings

    How about the evidence that many of them felt Communism was a great idea. Would that be sufficient?

    Is that your best evidence? I've not seen a single person here extol the benefits of communism. And no.

    The same way people used to before there ever was a FEMA. All you progressive butt hurt babies assume the fetal position and cry for momma FEMA to come pick you up cause you've become dependent on everyone else to change your soiled diapers. There's tons of food and water there. Go get it.

    Progressive

    Don't you have a link or something that shows what you're seeing? Because everything I see online shows the Republicans at historically low approval ratings.

    Just pointing hypocrisy where ever I find it. ;)

    You didn't answer my question, There are 3,400 40 foot long containers full of supplies just sitting on the dock in San Juan. What more do you think he should be doing?

    With Democrats even lower. Only a progressive would govern according to approval ratings. What a totally useless yardstick.

    It's difficult to know how well or how badly any party is doing unless you're able to compare them with something else. So if your friend says the Republicans are doing badly you should perhaps ask her, 'compared to who'?

    Are you now restricting evidence to this message board? I think we're about done here.

    Compared to themselves. That's really all that matters right now.

    No, not at all. But if you're going to use outside information it would be nice if it bore even a passing relationship to what goes on here. I think you call 'leftists' here indoctrinated because it feels good. Feel free to show it's more fact-based than that.

    I never said anything about governing according to approval ratings. Not sure why you quoted me and said this.

    And you, as you sit in your air conditioned dwelling, have no clue.
