Trump saves 1,000 Indianapolis jobs that Carrier was going to move to Mexico!!!

The two party system seems to leave a lot of you guys disillusioned.

I don't mind the two party system, I do mind the absence of fiscally conservative, socially moderate Republican candidates.

A person can be pro business, anti socialism and still believe:

1. Immigration is not a crisis. We have serviceable immigration laws already and just need to enforce them if being violated.

2. The Supreme Court declared Roe v Wade Constitutionally sound, and the job of government is not to make it difficult for the poor to make reproductive choices.

3. The government should be separate from the church in policy and the educational system, religion should not be impeded in any way as a private sector entity.

4. Any consenting adult should have the right to civil ceremony marriage, or religious if their church supports it.

It's not that tough. If I wanted to live in a theocracy I'd move to the Middle East, and if I wanted to live in a socialist state I'd move 300 miles North.

That all sounds very reasonable to me.  To be honest with you, I think the Democrats will fulfill your views much better than the Republicans.  Coming from a Canadian, let me tell you, the Democrats are definitely Conservative based on our political spectrum here.  The Republicans are considered radicals and basically nuts up here.  What do the Democrats want to do that's so "socialist"?  All I have heard about is health care.  Like I keep telling you, if public health care is implemented properly it will actually cost less per capita.

It sounds reasonable because it's all common sense, and politics has nothing to do with common sense. Politics is about scapegoating.

You guys don't have any jobs? "It's those darn Mexicans coming across the boarder, not the fact all the jobs got shipped to....wait for it....Mexico. Look at the Mexicans! They're the problem, not our anti business laws, taxes, and super high cost of living."

Not like thee good ol' days? Wait until we stop those darn gay people from getting married and put some religion back in school! The "happy days" will return! Aaaasyyy!"

Climate is changing? "God is angered we're aborting babies! We'll fix that and ramp up the level of unwanted, addicted babies who can grow up to angry, disenfranchised adults with no job skills or education!"

All scapegoating, all BS.
