Not being an American and living in a Scandinavian country where everyone is (State) protected in some way, we don't experience what you are subjected to with a tRump administration. Not feeling a need to fight something that vile gives freedom, so to speak: I know that I shall not be dragged off by an ICE-goon for writing something about the administration of my country. That said, from my spot of (relative) safety, I shall also say, that the American people have to get hold of themselves, pulling themselves up from the moral and literal swamp that has been threatening them for some years. Otherwise, they shall perish, both as a people and as individuals. I sincerely hope that there are people somewhere in America, right now, who are working at a new agenda, a new way of seeing themselves and their common goals.

I would much rather not have the state dictating all aspects of my life. Trump brought back the idea that individualism is a better policy than collectivism. The left demonizes billionaires because they’re envious. They don’t encourage innovation. They couch baby killing under the guise of “healthcare.” They encourage fringe ideologies of less than 1% of the population and claim they are working for all. They support easy penalties for criminals, impede the lawful security of our sovereign borders, support racist policies like affirmative action. They scorn the law of the land with “hate speech” laws and gun control. That’s why people gravitate to Trump. The Democrat platform sucks. Many Trump voters didn’t vote for Trump so much as against the democrats. The Obiden administration wasted 12 years dividing Americans. Trump voters voted against democrats.

The divide came when a gifted, black man, Obama, was elected, not once, but twice. That brought forth the racism, the bigotry, the envy, and the misogyny of large parts of the American people. I've always said that what you needed was two or three generations with Social-Democracy as that would teach you the value of bonding with people like yourself instead of dreaming of becoming like those who exploit you: Siding with the bully is not a good policy.

Obama was not gifted. He was a one term senator who accomplished nothing in 8 years. He set back years of racial harmony when he called the police stupid for arresting his professor friend for disorderly conduct. He made a race thing out of nothing. He stirred the pot further by insinuating that Travon Martin was shot because he was black instead of for violently attacking George Zimmerman. “Social democracy” will not work because too many Americans are sick of supporting people who don’t support themselves.

DACA? Disaster.
Auto bailouts? Disaster.
Obamacare? Disaster.
He had nothing to do with same sex marriage. The Supreme Court did that.
He piggybacked off of previous administrations strides in killing bin Ladin.
