News / How will Polish-American relations change if Trump is elected president again? [812]

I repeat, should the US government renege on her Constitutional DUTY to protect and defend
each of her citizens with whom she is entrusted, it should come as no surprise whatsoever that
there's as much seemingly random gun violence and lashing out at others as there already is in the
country!

The average, normal, aware human can only take so much marginalization and outright neglect
before they snap.

I quote once more those lines from Langston Hughes:

"What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun,
or does it explode?"

And what then happens to a life deferred owing to chronic, infantile, nonchalant indifference by society at large??
If there's an explosion, you just better hope and pray it doesn't explode in your face-:)

@Rich,
If a government doesn't exist in order to protect every one of her citizens,
what's the point of having a government?

If you can answer that one, you're good:-)

According to Pres. Thomas Jefferson, paraphrasing
a bit, if the government no longer serves the will of the
people, the people have the right to overthrow the government.
If you argue that Donald J. Trump represents the will of the (American)
people, then the country is in extra deep trouble and the people's will
ought to be re-examined.....and corrected to reflect the universal human desire for
common decency!

Joker,
What works for some people doesn't necessarily work for others!
If a business professional doesn't treat each of their clients equally,
they might as well not bother being in business.

I'm only giving you here the short version:-)

@Rich et al,
You're clearly distorting my entire meaning!

Obviously things weren't perfect before Trump,
before Reagan as well.

The issue here is only the degree to which matters
became way more exaggerated from Reagan on.

The "good old days" were plenty bad for women,
so-called "minorities" and for those unfortunate souls
not deemed the cleverest in class. Far too many American
families would simply abandon these poor creatures to society,
as the expression was in those years, and they were avoided
like the plague.

On the other hand, pre-Woodstock Era, the average American
might make a play, chuck a bluff, and pretend that the less
successful deserved the same quality of life as go-getter success.
While perhaps not exactly honest, it opted for social peace
rather than social warfare and no one way any the wiser.

Before the advent of the Civil Rights Era, minority groups
were shamefully marginalized in schools, in the workplace
and elsewhere, left often without much if any recourse as
the largely unstoppable phalanx of a mostly white, systemically racist society,
prevented many from ever being able to crawl their way out
of poverty without some sort of public assistance.

For the umpteenth time, the problem is, as is frequently the
case here in the US, that the pendulum gradually swung in the
opposite direction, whereby merely because a pupil, student,
job applicant were a minority, they felt erroneously entitled to
privileges to which they honestly were not entitled.

Naturally, the latter is as bad as the former.

@PolAmKrakow, Joker, & Rich,

The whole point is that the American Dream is dead in the water....and who's going to write the post mortem?
As historically a nation of justice, the rule of law, equal opportunity for those willing to take advantage of that opportunity,
Trump has killed that ideal and should be charged with willful murder in the first degree.

'Course we know he'll never see as much as a second in prison. His father's wealth along with the son's Mafia
connections have seen to that. The US punishes folks not able to bribe their way out of it every day for speeding, not paying taxes,
sometimes even killing in self defense. However for the sorts of things begun by the Reagan Counter Revolution, those remain
unpunished and are likely to remain so for the forseeable future.

People throughout the country didn't vote FOR Trump as much as they voted AGAINST civil rights, indeed
human rights.

A long time ago, I asked a German colleague why in his opinion Germans en masse voted for Hitler and his
evil anti-Christian message. His response? "I guess they felt it was more fun being pagan!"

A flip answer, and yet frighteningly similar to the reasons Americans chose Trump.

As does your right wing filth, Milo!
At least the left tries to make up for past wrongs,
even if its attempts often amount to little more than
a war on excellence, I'll grant you.

On the other hand, Reps want to cancel law, quality of life for every US citizen,
blame hardship on the victim, and in essence make people's
lives miserable, save exclusively for those clever or helped along
enough to bribe the system.

Dems ideals are clearly in the right place, except in your warped and
twisted world view. Problem is, they usually are lacking in execution.

Perversion may not technically be downright "sinful", however,
it is an affront to centuries long accepted social as well
as biological norms, challenging over a millenium of
convention which most societies believe to be their own.

Thank heaven the shutdown'll be over as of midnight tonight,
G-d willing and of course no thanks to Trump!

How could America elect someone so absolutely, so unutterably,
so completely, positively out of touch with daily life for probably all of his
life as this sitting president, were it naturally not for the issue of race?

While not personally affected, I can empathize with those who actually
benefit, indeed need, the services for which the government is there.

Ever since FDR, no US-president can serve more than two terms, thank heaven!
Let's hope we can all recover from two terms of Trump. Just barely.

Dick Cheney made only one right judgement in my recollection; he didn't trust Trump!
Apart from that, he was a rabid, unrepenitent, if soft-spoken, monotone, war hawk, a war criminal, who will go down
in US (if not world) history as the one who told N.O.R.A.D to look the other way on 9/11, thus
allowing the murderous evil of the Trade Towers and Shankville!!

This Left shift will come to hurt Trump at the Midterm elections
unless he orders the gov't to be re-opened and darn fast!!
He's always trying to punish the American people, knowing
full well that he's never suffering for even a moment.
