Using your term - destroy. I wouldn`t say that was Roosevelt`s intent. Trump... the way he`s attacked various departments, the FBI, and the free press. It might fit.
Obviously, you weren`t paying attention for the last 8 years. Our Government is supposed to be
By the people
For the People
Of the People.
Not dictate. Not hijack 1/6 of the economy and them mandate you buy from whom the dictate. Not destroy businesses because they don`t like them, or blame the US for everything that`s wrong in the world. Don`t give up everything that our citizens have worked for, and don`t give authority to an outside body.
I`m too old and weak to give lessons in this stuff, since it is so recent. PAY ATTENTION you should have been appalled.

I paid enough attention to know that what you just posted is little more than the rant of someone that didn`t pay attention to anyone other than a select group of media who told him what they wanted him to hear. And you bought it. You`ve been played. I know you can`t see it. You won`t allow yourself to see the truth, so you can`t.
Someone close to me is the same way - just the other side of the spectrum.
Follow the double deviants (That`s a Bell Curve reference) of the world without questioning enough and and you lose touch with the truth.

Sure I can. It`s called living in a society under a democracy. Most everybody ends up paying for some things they don`t want or would prefer weren`t funded.
The truth is pretty easy when you leave yourself open to it.

My wife`s the same way - just the other side of the spectrum.

Actually it was living under what nancy Pelosi would call a "super majority" not "democracy......
Please remember, we live in a representative republic, not a democracy...........
Yes the truth is easy when you leave yourself open to it.
Did you get to keep your Doctor ?!?!?!?
Re: The Unofficial *Official* Politics Thread
This is the second reminder in a couple of pages. Please keep the directed personal posts out of this thread. There are ways things can be said without the assumption that you know what others are like or what they are thinking. These types of threads can get out of hand in the matter of a few posts. There has been a good deal of leniency allowed in this thread since it’s beginning, for the most part it has been a lot of fun and I’m sure that many have had their minds stretched a bit by what has been written and how others think.
Many have commented how other forums can’t have these types of discussions without them blowing up. To this point, we’ve been successful in proving them wrong. This thread will only continue while the discussion is civil. You may post your opinion on political topics, you may not post your opinion of what you assume about someone else or take cheap shots at what they’ve written. It simply isn’t necessary. For those that follow the thread it’s easy enough for anyone to form their own opinion without accusations or bickering. Several of the last posts in this thread are heading in a bad direction. Take a look at what you’ve written, make sure it isn’t your posts. If your posts are directed at an individual as opposed to a statement that the general populous can absorb it may be problematic.

Tomi Lahren -
To the Dems skipping #sotu tonight, you’ve proven you are more infatuated with your anti-Trump beef and illegal immigrant coddling than you are the country and the American people who elected you!!
