a unique time in american history

[TicParticipant 4329]

I’m in my early 40s. In my lifetime, I do not remember a presidency that began with such turmoil, such vitriol, hate, division, outright violence. Am I wrong here? Did I miss something? Have some of the older gentlemen here experienced anything like this before?

We must be at some turning point in history of this country. If you step back and look at the big picture, do you not see this as an unbelievable turn of events?

I can’t claim to know what is exactly going on? I doubt that anyone here knows to any certainty because we are not told the complete truth by either side, but, it appears as if we are in some sort of a script, a play, and it’s being deliberately twisted and turned in all direction. Can it be to create confusion in the public. To cause despair, to lose hope in the process of it all, and then to finally come out with the “solution” that will drive this country into further demise?

Yes, we’re men going own way…and some people argue we shouldn’t care. But, I think we should. Because, whether we like it or not, we’re living amid this farce and may have to eventually “act” to preserve what remains of our core: freedom to live how we want without the shackles of societal “traditions.”

I’m interested to know how others feel about this. I also would like to keep this civil and not turn it into a name calling session just because people disagree in their political viewpoints.

God bless peace and freedom.

I agree with your views tic.

I remember when Clinton won in ’92 and there were people calling for his head from the very beginning. My friend was a Clinton supporter and was upset by the fact that the right wouldn’t even give him a chance. What I told him was “Look, you get two choices in this country. Either your guy wins and half the country hates him, or your guy loses and you hate the guy that won. I’d rather have my guy in than not in.” That part has been around for quite a while.

That said, there doesn’t seem to be any Reagan Democrats or Clinton Republicans left alive. Everything is much more black and white. Maybe that’s what the people in real power have been pushing us toward, I don’t know. And I do think Trump is a vote against the establishment, which scares the s~~~ out of them. People in power don’t like to give up their power, and they don’t go down without a fight.

“A unique time in American history.” You said a mouthful.

Order the good wine

We are seeing the collapse of the status quo. Those that benefited from the status quo are trying to stop the situation. While those harmed by the status quo elected a president whom feels the same way from a nationalistic standpoint.

Neither side is clearly not going to settle for anything less than their full demands. This will likely lead to unrest.

you may be right. I remember the hate for Clinton, but it seems our current political climate is way more volatile and right from the get go. As if there’s an underlying coup taking place. An analogy that comes to mind: The five mafia families in NY are “going to the mattresses.”

All men better be mentally and physically ready for what may come. Because history shows us that empires fall and fall violently.

History rhymes, people don’t zoom out enough.

Agreed, we are on a precibus.

I personally think the us is f~~~ed anyways big banks and special interest groups fund both parties. Fiat currency and greed has been destroying the western world piece by piece I see the immigrant thing as a destabilizing effect on Europe and North America taxing the already over burden welfare state.

There was unrest when I grew up. It was more about Vietnam and racial equality. I remember the Detroit riots well and some of Kent state. The military and police reacted more strongly then and rioters were put down pretty fast. The police wasted no time using tear gas, water cannons and stun shields on them. Now they just let them get away with more than they should and hold back. After Berkeley and the Milo riot this might change. I hope. The Trump supporters are calling for harsher action and they represent the establishment more than they did when the libtards were in office. The new ‘run their asses over’ law is a step in the right direction. You would not have seen that under Obama.

If you rescue a damsel in distress, all you will get is a distressed damsel.

absolutely agree. All of a sudden all these refugees march out of their land like “walking dead.” It’s not coincidence. Designed, planned, executed.

God bless peace and freedom.

Nixon was during a turbulent time with Vietnam and demonstrations,Reagan brought fear of nuclear war with Russia but what the smug libtards will never admit to is that he actually HELPED bring about peace and the fall of the Soviet bloc with the help of Gorbachev.

Not bad for a ‘war mongering’ Republican,eh?

This will settle down now that the markets are reacting favourably and even the lib elites admit that they’re getting richer because of Trumps deregulation policies.

Lifes a bitch,but you don't have to marry one!

The presidential turn-over has gotten worse and worse every year since Bush JRs 2nd term win in my opinion. So yes i would say Trump has thus far been the worst transition in terms of citizen disapproval but I’m sure that it won’t be THE WORST in the grand scheme of things through history yet to be written. I mean now even Oprah is considering running since she never thought before that experience was optional to become president.

That is good to hear.

60. No I have never seen anything remotly like this.
Yes, there were the Vietnam protest, but they were protesting a certain policy.
What we are seeing now is the snowflake gerneration and liberals in general haveing a spoided childs temper tantrum, because they didnt get their way.
They were so absolutley convinced that Patty Pance Suit was going to win, they were not phsycologicly prepaired for looseing.

History is recording their temper tantrum for the future to judge.
Pretty damn pathetic if you ask me.

[BeerParticipant 11832]

I don’t think its really that bad…its just the media trying to hype it up because we all know how liberal the media is. Obama won and a bunch of angry right wingers and libertarians attended tea party rallies that the media tried to minimize and destroy in every way possible. Trump wins and all the angry lefties go out and riot and assault people and the media tries to justify it because Trump is just so bad.

In the end though I think liberals are just going to cause more people to look at what they say they stand for and how they act and start to question “Do I want to be involved with that?”

I agree completely

the media will downplay a lot of what the left are up to with regards to violence but there is so much more info out there outside of the MSM that people hear about it.

Who wants to be associated with people like this?

Wake up man you are seeing a charade whilst the status quo is maintained.

What concerns me is that we are seeing lots of cracks in the many pillars that hold this whole thing up. People don’t seem to realize how dangerous a game they play.

Distrust in the police force.

Executive and judicial branches generating laws.

Distrust of media as an impartial source of information.

Ignoring constitutional rights.

Abuse of working men and ignoring how crucial they are to society.

Growing dependence on government for basic survival needs.

Erosion of families.

Erosion of morality.

All these things and more are what keep us from falling into chaos where the rule of law is nothing but ‘might makes right’. That’s what ultimately scares me.

Ok. Then do it.
