Part of Me Hates to Admit This But ...

[Billiejeens]

Good to see some admit that the contrast between Joe the idiot Biden and Trump is HUGE! Trump is not perfect, hell a show of hands who's perfect? Yeah nobody. So you weigh the good with the bad. But you cannot deny that the country is feeling far more hopeful with Trump in charge than when idiot Joe Biden was sleeping on the job only days ago.

What Hope and Change actually looks like

What leftist policies have you been so disgusted w/in recent years OP?

Of all the claptrap I've seen in this thread so far, no actual policy positions have been proffered.

It's all vibes, the OP literally states "vibe shift" in his OP.

He's shutting down DEI in the government. He's deporting criminals who shouldn't be in the country. He's deporting foreigners who support terrorist groups like Hamas. He's attempting to stop this trans/gender nonsense.

I don't like he's pardoning the J6 rioters. But he won.

 

[marvin martian]

This has all been fine, as long as I don't watch him speak. That's when it gets a little depressing.

You voted for Kamala fucking Harris, and you don't like the way Trump speaks??

LOL

 

[Toro]

There's also a general sense that "this woke bullshit is over."

Yes, but the grifters who were making money on it aren't going to let it go easily.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

I don't see how anyone could underestimate the absolute shit show the left has been the last decade. They've been beating Americans in the face with their big shit stick quite openly, for the most part.

They didn't give a shit who knew, till now.

Yep.

The moment they locked us down, mandated vaccines - but then said BLM riots were actually good for "stopping the spread", I was fucking done.

Hasta la vista, Leftards.

Forever.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Using the words "Trump" and "unwavering commitment" in the same sentence is just laughable. Trump's unwavering commitment is to the person who donated the most money.

Wow.

You're still here?

Good for you.

Sincerely.

No.....really.

If the Dems just would have went after the actually violent, there would be less reason for the blanket pardon. But they went after people just there, and went after them hard.

Same thing with pardoning people guilty of that abortion rights protection FACE act.

making protesting a major crime just for abortion is idiotic.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Turns out the "joy" campaign Kamala and her media said she was running was actually Trump's.

Maybe the "brat" part was accurate though.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Using the words "Trump" and "unwavering commitment" in the same sentence is just laughable. Trump's unwavering commitment is to the person who donated the most money.

So, by that logic, Trump must be unwaveringly committed to Kamala's donors.

I mean....since they donated twice as much to her than any billionaires did for Trump.

But then, logic was never your strong suit.

 

[BrokeLoser]

I've been pleased with some of his actions in the first few days, but he'd be taken more seriously if he'd cut out the "Gulf of America" and "we're taking back the canal" bullshit.

That’s his thing and it ain’t going anywhere…Like all good Americans he HATES all things left and he will continue verbally bitch-slapping them every chance he gets.

All kidding aside, thank you for sharing this.

Glad to see there are some objective people left of center.

You have been pretty tough on Trump in the past. Your epiphany is welcome.

Hopefully you continue to seek the truth and keep an open mind.

 

[Road Runner]

Wow Toro, that takes guts to admit that you actually think that President Trump is doing a good job. You got quite the wake up call!!

We won.

 

[MisterBeale]

I been ignoring or dismissing simply because I didn't trust the source?

When you don't listen to, or believe Beale, you are in for a world of hurt.

 

[Road Runner]

Toro, if you actually listen to the lyrics of what the left calls a worship song you'll see that actually most of us are with you. As none of us are saying that he's somebody perfectly divine. I simply just believe that he's misunderstood but he's also not perfect either by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[Foxfyre]

The world that I live in doesn't see much of these things. They're tangential almost hypothetical. My world is financial and economics, populated by highly educated people with advanced degrees in business and finance. We're not seeing day-to-day much of what you're seeing. The only thing I've seen is ESG nonsense, that I've publicly spoken out about IRL, and we've been buying assets like coal powered plants and oil fields others are selling for non economic reasons. DEI isn't really a thing here, and we're pretty immune to all the culture war stuff.

A lot of what I heard about the far left came from sources I didn't trust. Sorry, much of the right wing is full of shit too! What got me were two things, the left's reaction to Oct 7 and immigration. I was disgusted by the far left's reaction to the slaughter of Israelis. I didn't realize how awful our education system had become. In my world of numbers and equations, we don't see that stuff. As for immigration, I've posted here before about my handicapped brother who has lived on the street and can no longer live on his own because Trudeau's insane immigration policies have led to skyrocketing rents.

But the tipping point recently has been guys whom I respect like Marc Andreeson coming out and saying that "no this shit was real and it was bad." So I started thinking that if this shit really is true, what else have I been ignoring or dismissing simply because I didn't trust the source?

For sure there is a huge amount of disinformation being spewed about the internet including here at USMB. But you go right down the line of issues/values/ethics/policy promoted by the American left and that promoted by the American right, and leave the labels off, pretty much all Americans other than the small minority of real nutjobs will choose those on the right.

I assume Canada's left and right are similar to ours? If so I would guess most Canadians would also choose Trump policies if they didn't know who's policies they were.

But if Trump can get it right and produces good results, that cannot help but be beneficial to those who want to right the ship in Canada too. And a prosperous, healthy America will also benefit Canada and vice versa.

 

[Crepitus]

I'm enjoying the Trump Presidency thus far. I know it's only three days in, but there seems to be a real vibe shift over the past few months. For the better. This seems really different than 2017.

It's helped that as I've dug further, I'm beginning to realize just how crazy the left has become. I've always known the far left was crazy, but I've underestimated just how batshit crazy they are. They've dialed the crazy up to 11.

I still don't like the man. I still think he's unfit to be President. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying this.

Anyone that consistently uses this idiocy- "tRumpism" probably has a brain tumor the size of a grapefruit

Gulf of America is awesome.
