No, but that's not why we voted for Trump. We voted for him to get the wall. We could really care less who pays for it. And if successful, it will save taxpayers billions of our own dollars, so Mexico paying for it is not an issue with us.
I’m not disagreeing, I am saying I didn’t believe his campaign promises but I didn’t believe Obama’s either.
I think Trump kept many of them; at least the ones he was in control of. It's not Trump or Obama really, it's our system of government to blame. I believe our founders never dreamt of a country as divided as we are now. I have said for some time it's time to divide the country in half and have two separate countries instead. From north to south, right down the middle.
We had greater divides in history, Civil War, comes to mind. I’m not sure why we are so divided today. One problem is we have had no real leadership, nothing but big political egos that are about scoring partisan points than uniting, compromising, or benefiting all.
The reason for the divide is simple. During the Hussein administration, the Tea Party came to light. On the left, Socialism and Communism became the new path. So where is the middle-ground between Communism and Constitutionalism? There is none.
The civil war was about issues regarding principals. The divide we have today is about government in it's entirety.
The left despises capitalism which is the claim to our financial success. They hate freedom and want government to make all their decisions for them in effort to substitute personal responsibility. They see this country as one giant 70's commune where some go out and work, others stay in the commune and smoke pot, others have babies with no means to support them other than the earners of the commune. However once the earners left the commune, they disappeared.
We on the right believe in individuality. Those on the left believe in It Takes A Village.
