I love you for saying this!

donald trump is making himself more and more likely to go to prison, so in a way, yes sort of
---

He is making america fascist again.

If he wanted to make America great again, he would've resigned.

---

To be fair, it was an impossible task. America was never great to begin with.

Vote early, so that you don't have to be eyeballed by the rifle carrying, MAGA hat wearing, sister loving pole watchers.

Only if youre a wealthy white man

---

So when has America been good?

---

I believe the slogan is "Keep America Great" so it's already great

If you thought America was greatest during the days of the Civil War, sure

I have a pre-existing disease. Letting a disease that targets people like me run free, isn't exactly great. I'll give him an C-, since he hasn't actually killed me or my parents just yet. But when he does, I'm gonna have to take some points off.

lol

---

Yes, God bless him.

Objectively, no. Domestically we're more divided than we've been in decades, corruption is rampant in Washington, our infrastructure and safety nets are falling apart, conservativism has been morphed into a cult of personality, and internationally we're bigger laughing stocks than we've ever been with our soft and hard power diplomatic muscles having been wholly atrophied.

When it comes to positive accomplishments, I cant think of any that focus on the American people, unless youve already got money. His only accomplishments either benefited Israel or the military. Then he talks about how good the economy is and about how jobs are at an all time high. Jobs are up because wages are down; people are working a night shift to keep the rent paid, but Amazon and Apple stock are doing well, so that must mean that the economy is great!

The rich got richer and the glass ceilings moved down another few feet on the non-rich. We are essentially being relegated to retail and food while the cost of living goes up astronomically. The whole idea of trusting CEOs and business owners to allow trickle-down economics to work is killing us. Theyre keeping every red cent that they can and theyre lobbying with politicians to help them write laws to keep even more of what should be our paychecks.

Then theres the medical care thing. He repealed the mandate and washed his hands of the whole thing, declaring that he fixed the whole problem. Guess what? When I was told that I didnt qualify for Obamacare, my private insurance payment went up to about $350/month (roughly a 300% increase). This happened because the mandate allowed the private insurance companies to openly extort us and they also stopped covering stuff, too. You basically had to pay someone $350/month to not get a tax penalty and then when you needed help, it was all out of pocket.

When the mandate was repealed, my insurance rates stayed the same. The private companies were allowed to become an unchecked monopoly for several years and Trump didnt put forward and legislation to fix this. Im sorry, but we need socialized medicine. These people have abused our system to the point where its broken. Hospitals and doctors and insurance companies have proven that they cannot be trusted, so it all needs to be free. Free for EVERYONE and not just some people.
