When is the last time you saw one come in here and own up to it? Hurricane will and Cleatwood admitted the other day that the leftist fringes are driving the party in the wrong direction. Other than that, they remain dutifully compliant.

Acting like scared and brainwashed Democrats only deepens the problem.

This is my concern as well. Why I have had hard times wanting to get involved in politics and the voting process in the first place. 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 agree completely. Unfortunately, candidates like Trump appeal to the masses because 1) he’s not a career politician and 2) he’s the only one who has the nuts to call everyone out. Unfortunately, the guy becomes unhinged and needs to be called out himself. As a country, left and right, we have no good options for this election and it’s causing the country to become even more unbalanced. 

Until people begin to emerge from this adversarial spell we’ve been under and start confronting our own leaders instead of each other, the situation will continue to spiral downwards.
