OP your post is too long for me to read, this isn't meant to be an insult. You write well and I think you'd have more impact tightening up your posts.
Look at the good news, Trump has not talked about the deficit at all, I literally cannot think of him ever speaking about it other than "I'm the King of debt". Watching Trump run up the Deficit more than Obama or any other President will be gloriously fun. Especially with our debt obsessed Republican members.

i dont think so. but it is a different if not damaging form of racism. Its kind of like how the instagram/selfish african volunteerships that end up being used as a means for the white man/woman to exploit black suffering for their own gains.
Benevolent plantation owners are still owning the slaves and keeping them shackled.
Here's an idea. All of you lefties complaing about trump and the minimum wage should come together and form a minimum wage helping group. You dont need any trump supporters since there are so many of you.
You could each sponsor a minimum wage worker. If say 10 of you paid that person $2-3 per hour, you could get them up to the $33 per hour done people are claiming they should get. Nothing is stopping you from "fixing the problem". Stop trying to force the rest of us to pony up for what you consider to be the problem. Typical liberals always want someone else to be forced to pay for their crap and then they turn around and take credit. If your such wonderful humanitarians, you would do it yourself without even wanting to take credit.

Its a silly premise just like what you said. We all are forced to do things we don't want to do to promote compromise, nobody can always have everything they want. I'd say you are truly the special snowflake.

Well if anything we've all continued to see that we all have strong opinions that don't always reflect similar views.

Trump exploits Brandolini's law like nobody else. His tsunami of bullshit lets propaganda susceptible individuals keep what they like & discard the rest.
He'll enable the lootocracy in ways yet un-imagined by the rest of us, much to the glee of Repub leaders.

Wow he's ending welfare and giving everyone a job? Awesome. Cant wait for this failure of thinking to be shown the light in 4 years when nothings changed in that department.

It's well known public knowledge that Isreal has had nuclear weapon capability for many many years. I doubt very much that they have a hydrogen bomb (i.e. many times more powerful than atomic bombs). It is preposterous to think they'd entertain the idea of a strike against the USA, in any case.

I can't add much here. I suspect that people who obsess over "playing the race card" are really and subliminally -- playing the race card. Further, this is about a statistical distribution and range of "observations" for which each contains several dimensions, attitudes and beliefs.
One of the angrier voices here put forward a stereotype of "Liberal." If I was giving $250/annum to the RNC back in the early '80s, I still can't fit that profile. Instead, what I've seen afoot for years since 2000 has simply pushed me further and further to the Left.
But "feeling" and "attitude" aren't necessarily "common sense." That being said, the trend-line of my "mood-ring" predicts four years of growing disgust, contempt and anger.

"so they can stay on welfare and get food stamps and Section 8 and live off everybody else that goes to work."
yeah, i'm sure he's talking about all those poor white folks who voted for Trump.
you don't have drop the N bomb to be racist.
So he talks about people on welfare etc, and you PC lefties automatically assume that can only be a reference to non-white people. Racist much? Newsflash, there are people of every race and ethnicity getting government bennies. You're obviously the racist and yet you want to accuse him of it.

I don't know if my suggestion at this point would bear consideration by those for whom intended.
Denial is a peculiar thing.
If someone thought they wanted to "talk to someone" for some unhappiness, issues, problem -- the counselor or shrink might suggest a need to "confront" themselves. The denial would arise as a knee-jerk reaction, perhaps with termination of the visit and potential appointment schedule -- walking away from it.
When someone speaks about a "lifestyle" of their own as opposed to the perceptions they have of a stereotypical "other group" -- one could wonder if they're really apprehensive and worried -- deep-down -- about change they might only feel helpless to reverse.
Just for a few issues -- not with regard to anyone in this thread, particularly -- you could look at the reaction to climate change. the implications would be greater cost, changes in lifestyle and prosperity, uncertainty about the future. If you add another related idea -- growing scarcity for a limited supply of fossil fuel -- the hostility would continue or increase. So we find a comforting mantra of "drill, drill, drill" and "stop this green-energy madness."
What I can't understand is simple. Put aside all the simple ideological nit-picks, myths, convictions and so on. I cannot understand why people don't see the "inner-Trump" for what it is. And I cannot understand how the measuring stick of money creates such a blindness to intrinsic human nature, an understanding of character or whatever composes the sunny side of the American character. For that matter, the denial -- based on the "exceptionalism myth" -- that there is a dark underbelly to that animal.
Most people do see the inner Trump for what it is, and most don't like him. The problem is that the alternative was even worse, though many can't see the "inner illary" for what it is.

Please. He just puts layers of abstraction on top of a fundamentally racist attitude.
You know it as well as the rest of us-
