So you just want the meme where everything is on fire but you tell yourself everything is fine.

A positive message is worthless when it's all talk and no actual plans to change anything. Trump is positive in all his rallies but then you would need to listen to them.

It's like the current house republicans who have talked a ton about changing things. They have maybe shown a few people all the info that was already out there but at the end of the day they have accomplished nothing and will accomplish nothing.

In a material sense the US is doing great. In terms of social mobility, we used to have more, but we still have more than most places.  In terms of good government, we are not the best, but we are much less corrupt and much more representative than most other governments out there.

Trumps message that we are going down the tubes and only he can save us is total bunk.  We aren't going down the tubes.  And we've seen Trump's leadership.  He couldn't lead us out of a paper bag.
