Ni> pa> And we love it. And we voted for it.
Ni> Not everyone voted for it.
Understood. We live in Oregon, where the majority of folks here didn't vote
Trump... but the majority did. Areas with these hot pockets of left leaning
communities; Oregon, New York, Chicago, etc - are going to press back against
this POTUS, only to appeal and get every single thing through... the majority
voted for change and its coming.
Stinks, too - as I normally lean left; they just went super-mega-woke and lost
the 55%.
Ni> Recently I've heard South Africa is considering banning all US-based
Ni> companies from their country due to USAID funding being pulled, and
Ni> Canada is considering making stronger ties to other countries for trade;
Ni> I've even heard some tongue-in-cheek discussion about Canda possibly
Ni> wanting to join the EU after being threatened with tarriffs from the US.
And maybe they should. Those are bold statements from weak(er) positions - what
will more likely happen is that they'll have to make hard decisions to NOT lean
on the U.S. as their purses... the citizens here have had it.
Ni> I'm worried that the US will end up with a poorer economy and a weaker
Ni> position in the world due to what Trump and Musk are doing.
I understand - and I'm on the other side thinking that these changes will
benefit us in a shorter time than Trump will be here... if so, I think the left
messed up because it'll be 12 years of this change rather than the norms of the
past.
My point is that if EVERYONE would have settled down on the 5% of crazyness, we
wouldn't be in this position - but they didn't. They pressed that lunacy just a
little too far, and the iceberg goes over.
I still think we can come together - but this not compromising, not admitting
that the divide is killing us is just going to keep this going. Lets come back
to the dinner table - no time for whining about what can be, unburdened by what
has been... :P
