THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT
Back in the 70's Liberals made the mistake of living in their post hippie universe. They preached peace, love, and the end to the Vietnam war. They called police officers "pigs" and raged against "the establishment" in other words - our government. They had their own language, didn't bother to check their facts before speaking, secure in the knowledge their liberal peer group would cheer them on. They lived in their own Liberal bubble. Little did they know, they were speaking to a gradually smaller percentage of the population. Enter the election of 1980. Reagan - Bush and the Conservatives dominated the political landscape for the next 12 years. The same thing is happening to Trump supporters, they call liberals "snowflakes" and "dims" and rage against big government. Any news story contradicting their views is automatically dismissed as "fake news" without bothering to see if it's true, and usually not having read it at all. Trump supporters are living in their little 43% bubble, the average approval of Donald Trump in his first term of office. They don't want to think about the other 57% of the voting public. The election of 2018 should have been a wake up call for Trump supporters, but it wasn't. They're happily cuddling together in their little 43% bubble.
The election of 2020 is coming, and regardless of the outcome of this impeachment trial, history has a nasty habit of repeating itself------
