It seems like one, though, in a certain sort of mind. In certain cultures, pride and a certain brittle honor can seem more important than prosperity and peace, and compromise is seen as weakness. Despite democracy, capitalism, and modernity, I don’t know that this sort of thinking has never really been educated out of the Scots and the English; rather, I fear those cultures still grow it, educate it into their common people’s minds. It’s part of nationalism or something, and some mad branches of the right wing love it. The jingoist shows his “love of country” by his hatred of other countries. Those who disagree are “rootless cosmopolitans.” And of course the USA’s electorate includes descendants of the worst kind of Scots and English Puritans. If Trump were a diplomat, he’d just be a businessman to them, and a little suspicious; but when he blows everything up, he will be acclaimed as a hero. ---

I know we can make our own, but this may be more convenient, and we’re probably gonna need 'em. 😃 ---

> [@Icarus](#): > > But this group got their gigantic BJ tax cut. So, on balance why would they turn on the dumbass who did that for them? They are keyed-in enough to know when and where to move their money, no matter what happens. “Why would they turn on” Trump? You seem to have more faith in their prioritizing loyalty than I do. I don’t see them as motivated by loyalty much at all. Pretty much any Republican can get them the tax cuts they want. My guess is that they’d prefer a Republican who’s sane and stable to one who clearly is not—I believe they’d see their interests better represented by such a person. The key is the pressure they could bring to bear on Congressional Republicans, of course—if they want Pence or Ryan instead of Trump, then there’s a good chance it will happen. And the more Trump goes off on these loony (no pun intended) Adventures in Economic Chaos, the more likely the donors are to decide to deep-six him. ---

I knew it was when I looked at my bank account and every day I am richer than the day before. The winning just never stops. Must suck to be a loser, hating the Trump wins. Nobody can be that fucking stupid. Nobody can have that short of a memory. Reagan and Bush 1 exploded the deficit. Clinton made tough choices, and over 8 years actually achieved a budget surplus. So Bush 2 comes along and explodes the deficit again, and runs the economy into a ditch, and almost over a cliff. Obama inherits runaway unemployment and recession. Makes tough choices, gets the economy back on track. Unemployment is going down, the stock market is almost tripling, and all Republicans can say is, “But the DEFICIT!! Deficits are horrible things from the pit of hell!!!” And it works on idiots like you, so Trump gets elected. First thing he does is cut taxes while raising spending, just like Bush, exploding the deficit again. No, my bad, first thing he does is say that unemployment, which has been going down under Obama for years, is going down because of him, and the stock market, which has been going up under Obama for years, is going up because of him. Only an idiot would believe it, but you do. Next thing he does is take an axe to the regulations that would prevent another Bush banking disaster. And to put a cherry on it, he’s getting us into needless trade wars with our ALLIES. And because of idiots like you, when he has us on the brink of disaster and a Democrat is voted in who will again make the hard choices to repair Trump’s damage, Fox News will rediscover that deficits are horrible, and Republicans will obstruct every constructive move to fix things. ---
