My moms birthday was yesterday so we all got together for a family dinner. My brother, who teaches masters students at UGA’s Terry college of business, and I were having a discussion about academia. He is of the belief that the vast majority of academia is staunch liberals but the majority of those in business are conservatives. No hard data presented but he is a straight shooter and lives in that world some.

Why was it that everybody said Trump was an unelectable divisive clown at the beginning of the primaries when pretty much no one gave him a chance of winning?

Because he wasn't part of either party and wasn't afraid to speak his mind and by everybody ..... you mean the liberal media

I mean every conservative friend, co-worker, and relative I have. Every single one of them thought of Trump as a horrible joke in the beginning. most of them felt that way up to the point of him winning the primary.

They were lying to you because they knew you'd cry, pee and sh** your pants if they told you the truth

Your friends, coworkers, and relatives were actually a part of the conspiracy to hide their feelings from the world so the democrats would get crotch kicked on Election Day.

Secretly they were smiling on the inside at the thought of Trump crushing the soul of CNN

No doubt liberals figured out years ago that they can brainwash those in college.

Mick, I'd rather be a clown than a puppet. But hey, keep believing all the BS your party leaders feed you.

Come in here and berate anyone other than the Trumpies is in fact you being a puppet. Trying to normalize this circus is you being a puppet.

I guess it all depends on perspective. A real GOP member would see Trump as a free radical and want no part of him. Dims would naturally want no part of him

The more independent of us who lean not so much to the GOP but against liberal Dims, see Trump as an arrogant fool ... the elephant in the china shop so carefully set and arranged by lifetime politicians of both stripes. And for right now, that's just all right.

While I personally despise Trump and pretty much everything he stands for, I absolutely love watching him wreak havoc on both parties and hope both parties burn in hell ... yours just more so. The solution to the Trumps of the future comes in ridding the country of lifetime politicians, complete revision of how legislation is written, and thoroughly trashing anything but very minimal campaign donations (including by the candidate himself or herself) to preclude buying political positions, appointments, and legislative/regulatory favor..

Particularly the touchy feely, emotional types. I never saw much liberalism in engineering either, but I wouldn't bet on the sciences as taught within the liberal arts. I wouldn't be surprised to know that some physicists believe a neutron might have multiple genders ... just depends on the need for funding when research has no defined product except more tax payer funded research.

I can disagree with most of the "Trumpies" without them resorting to insults. It's not that I haven't disagreed with them on some Trump policies, they just don't turn it into the same production that you do.

The best remedy to Trumps of the future is Trump of the present. I think instead of helping to break up the two party system, Trump is only going to end up reinforcing it. Now we've seen the dangers of stepping outside of the box.

I don't really agree with the second part. I have never really had any use for Trump and probably never will. However, he has done one thing this country absolutely needed, and still needs more of. He is the only person in public office to bluntly face the absurdity of the political correctness that has paralyzed the country. The left has weaponized political correctness, and conservatives never addressed it until it became institutionalized, and then they were afraid to challenge it. It was absurdly ironic the day that Holder said we've never had a blunt discussion about race ... absurd because while true, his side made sure it could never happen.

If you cannot address differences because one side makes issues sacred and unapproachable, then you can never work through them. Everything simply becomes more polarized. You can see the issues right here on VN, but fortunately we are willing to tread where angels and policy makers won't.

Agree. He's a doofus but he's shown that questioning things that should be questioned triggers a massive defense mechanism from the status quo (government).

Back in the primaries I suggested his election (if it occurred) would be a major reset (cleansing fire). Necessary but messy.

Lets see the production the Trumpies made out of this, Northam is a child killer is the BS that came from that camp. Most say he should step down. So what's your gripe?

When we live in a society of extremes ... one in which idealism, "fashion", trends, social behavior, and virtually anything else extends from one extreme to the other with virtually no room for compromise, tolerance, or middle ground, would you honestly expect the politics of the times to reflect anything different? Obviously the one size fits all model no longer fits this country; how to save it without destroying it first is going to be interesting. But I'm certainly seeing no signs of compromise on or tolerance of anything from the party of the people who claim to be enlightened and compassionate.

I'm a believer in burning the current political system down. We are in desperate need of Congressional term limits to rid DC of lifelong politicians.

Unfortunately the entrenched politicians and bureaucrats are proving harder to eradicate than cockroaches. Considering their replacements are likely their supporters, it's gonna take a whole lot of fire.

Anti abortion views don't have anything to do with Trump being Trump. Those folks would say the same regardless of the president.

First, the thread was started by your buddy, EL. Second, several that you would group as "Trumpies" have refrained from calling for him to resign from his post. In fact, it seems more Dems are calling for that than GOPers. Third, how many have actually called the guy a child killer? Not many that I've seen. Do they disagree with his proposed abortion policy, yes, but not many have turned that into child killer.

I stick by the meme. You're a drama queen. You thrive on making something out of nothing.
