That's got to be the most out of touch thing you've ever written on this forum.
Even the most extreme elected official is not extreme enough for you.
That means you are at the extreme and and they are at the middle.
Now, just because you are extreme does not mean you are wrong.
But it certainly means you are not "every man."

Menken said it best, every normal man is tempted to hoist the black flag and start slitting throats. In the heart of man is the desire for liberty, in the mind of man are the confines of his society. And Trump is nowhere near extreme, he's a moderate fabricated as an extremist by the limitations of our political structure.

I am sometimes amazed that many of those ideologically to Trump's right continue have his back. Although puzzling to me, I do not think it is my imagination that many on the right have begun to reassess their level of support to this administration. Thank you for your honest, thoughtful reply.

You misunderstand me. I am not a Republican, nor did I vote for Trump. I've been pushed to him by fiscal policy I agree with and just how much I despise his enemies.

I just stopped by to catch up but your response is so much me I had to +1 you.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

Both sides spend way too much. We are left to decide which is the lesser of two evils. In the last presidential election I found this very VERY difficult to do. I tend to gravitate toward the center left myself, regardless of how you may wish to paint me as a socialist in these threads. As far as despising Trump's enemies, my difficulty is that he tries to paint half of America as his enemy. I have a lot of difficulty with that. And it becomes way too easy to fall into that trap myself. He tends to be a divider, not a uniter. That is problematic for this country in my view.

<EDIT>

and here I was about to paste a thread about buttdialgate. It is so easy to get caught up with the nonsense in these forums. I would like to think perhaps we would agree on many things if we were to have a conversation in the real world. But, on second thought...

Naa....

Just to clarify, did you see the previous administration doing the same thing?

Easy Mike, we don't need to have you get something else eliminated to protect your tiny feelings.
