My daughter and son in law (sil) are middle of the road, maybe even conservative leaning. But they hate Trump, especially my aeronautical engineer sil, hate hate HATES him with a passion. We had such a big fight about it once (he'd been drinking and wouldn't drop it) that I have to refuse to even discuss politics with him at all.
They're staying with me right now while they look for a house. Tonight we all took our dogs outside before bed and he walked over and stood beside me. Looking around the yard, he quietly (sadly?) said "I find myself missing Trump". I was stunned and said nothing. He turned and walked slowly into the house.
I.......I can't EVEN.
Wow. Never really looked at it from that perspective and I believe you’re 100% spot on. If I recall correctly, this also fits within the framework of communism that was laid out by that former KGB guy years ago. I forget his name, but he basically laid it all out in an interview.
Yuri Bezmenov?
Yes! Thats him. Thank you.
