I consider myself as someone that leans towards the Classical Liberalism school of thought. While also being considered a Fiscal Conservatist amongst my friends and family. 

I feel like the fringe left and fringe right have done a really good job at two things. 

1. Dividing the country and spreading it apart. 
2. Forcing people from the middle, such as myself, to actually get off my [BLEEP], get involved and vote. 

We've seen a lot of [BLEEP] flinging from both sides of the aisle. Whether you hate Antifa, BLM or the Proud Boys and other right wing militant style groups. There's been a great divide in our country and it's bleeding heavily at this time. 

I cannot comfortably look at any candidate on either side anymore with long term hopes for our future and my son's future. We've been contemplating on leaving the country at this rate. You know it's bad when you have 1st generation, eastern European war refugees around you telling you to "watch out", "be careful, be smart with your money, keep a passport up to date". 

I have had my wife's family from Bosnia and Germany and some of our other friends from Romania and Armenia tell me there's been clear, cut patterns here in our country that they all saw directly and indirectly in their homelands before it got really, really bad and really, really ugly. 

People laugh at the idea of civil war and civil unrest here in the states. These people from the Eastern Block know better, it's just a bullet away from popping off here. We're being governed by globalists in our country. It's a plutocracy in my opinion, not a real democracy anymore.

Our laws continue to be perverted and the lines continue to be blurred as the social dynamics and social engineering of these past few decades have officially seen it's roots become full on trees of implementation. We're losing this battle everyday as a nation. Hate to say it. I often go to bed in gloom. 

I don't expect these next few years to get any better or easier. Just seems like we're circling the drain, both, domestically and internationally.

I really don't think we need a civil war.. That's the last thing this country needs.

To me, this is just idiot children who are lost in their own hatred for one man. 

Honest opinion time.. If another candidate ran on Trump's policies, that candidate would have a much easier time implementing those policies for the simple fact that he or she is not Trump.

These people are not thinking based off of policy. They're thinking based off of personal hatred..

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."
