Part of the appeal of Trump's schtick is that he rejects the liberal tendency towards normalizing crime. It's not ok to steal, to rob, to assault, to set alight, squat, trespass or illegally enter. It's not ok to harass Jews, it's not ok to tear down public statues and spray paint hateful messages on public buildings....not ever.  Everyone's sick of the hate, the immorality, the property damage and the violence. We all know what normal is and it's not too demanding to obey the prevailing conventions of society.

It's not ok that somehow it became normalized to participate in a global dynamic where the US is universally treated in an unbalanced fashion in trade relationships because America is perceived as being so much more prosperous and powerful than other nations. That is classic socialist wealth-re-distribution. It is unfair and unjust, as is global outrage at Trump's balking at USAID lavishing corrupt foreign entities with billions of US taxpayer money while running trillions in debt. We don't owe anyone anything; they owe us. The entire Leftist agenda is a militant crusade to force people to accept fantasy as fact. The lunatics were allowed to run the asylum for a period of time and it was wholly destructive - as it always is.

Eastern Europe are the defenders of our culture. If you look at what is going on in these countries, you will notice that there are open displays of Christian iconography and a widely accepted and celebrated Christian theme to their traditions and culture. Now compare that to France, UK and Germany where Christianity has been stigmatized as being "supremacist" or "colonizing" and it being forced out of society while islamic influence remains untouchable under the shield of "diversity". Here again, the destructive results of the liberal agenda can be observed in its starkest reality as those once great nations destroy themselves.

Poland or Hungary are better standard bearers than the UK or Germany. France has become something grotesque and profane. The leftist vision is of Sodom and Gomorrah - willfully destroying one's self by way of depravity.

I'm an atheist and I'm militantly pro-Christian because that is who we are and Christianity is the way we have codified the values we have developed over hundreds of thousands of years. Perhaps that framework is precisely why our societies have been so much more successful and advanced relative to others. We live in a society. You have to be civil.

What are parents taught us when we were young is what society at large should reflect. Respect your elders, obey the law, work hard, save money, be a good neighbor, raise your kids to be good people.... It's not bigotry it's decency. The Ten Commandments is a good place to start. You don't get to loot a store because you think capitalism is unfair. You don't get to assault and harass other people because they are not interested in your radical politics.   That's why Trump won.

My wife and her sister were "training" some AI program. It was like taking one of those multiple choice tests in school over and over.  They would do it from home in off hours and get paid. It was legit. They got paid and got a w2 or 1099.
That’s a nice gig. I’m training AI for free. Obviously.

I don't know. The license plates look foreign.

Maybe you should stop giving honest answers. No one wants to hear what you think. They want to hear what they expect to hear.

The world is outraged that the US now expects to be treated fairly. It's so unfair.

"Trump threatens to put another 50% tariff on China on Wednesday. It would bring the total tariff level on Chinese goods up to 104%"

US is the world's largest consumer market. Countries that erect trade barriers toward American goods entering their markets are now simply getting a brief taste of the medicine they have been treating America with for decades....apparently they don't like it.
