No, not stoned,
I just look around and see rioting, record unemployment, a virus that is hitting our country harder than about any other, more violence than i have ever scene in my 50+ years.
On a local level record farm bankruptcies, all the sand mines bankrupt, etc.
And all i hear on here and from the president is "i take no responsibility".?
Not to mention the fur industry is gone to a point were it may never return, about all the fur farms are also bankrupt or shut down.
Sure my stocks are doing well, but if that is what making American great means i'm skeptical. I voted republican 100% of the time in my 32 years of voting till the last election, i don't know if i can afford all this greatness?

Easy question! The internet and social media. Social media has gives certain groups a voice, a voice that the liberal media preys on. Without it many of these groups would have nothing.

A little something for your world.

What voice reads trapperman for you, because it is obvious your can’t see.

Social media is really enemy #1 and the main source of these anti-American groups power.

Prior to the pandemic, we had the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years.

Have you noticed that the violent rioting is mostly all in cities where democrats have been in charge? In MN, the mayor of Minneapolis begged the democrat governor to do something to stop the rioting, looting, burning, etc. For 4 days the governor did nothing. It took a threat from Trump who said he would send in federal troops before the governor activated the National Guard.

Rudydog are you saying this wouldn't have happened if Hillary, maybe who you voted for, was elected? This pimple has been ready to pop way before Trump came into politics. Biden been in this game for decades stirring this pot of unrest to a boil. Democratic controll is what has made these peoples actions what they are. Allowed to run unopposed in the streets demanding cops just go away. Anarchy rules the city streets. Trump has offered help many times but always told to go suck eggs by Democratic mayor's and governors.

This is a clip from the FLQ crisis in Quebec.
I thought the PM statements at the time are uncannilly pertinent to what is going on now.

I dont know how to do the link if someone could link it it may be interesting to a lot of us in how he put the hammer down on the anarchists and his view of the situation.

Try looking at who the leadership is in the ciities that are being destroyed. It's time people see the results of who they voted in as mayor, council, DA, Governor. There is a chain of command.

.....drain the swamp then you will see who is at the bottom of all this

Every one comes on here blaming one party or the other for what is happening to this country but how do these people get in office? The problem is us ,we vote them in they don't just pop up. It's churches , yes the internet, it's our morals as a whole.Anything goes, and when someone does try to change it little special interest groups from one side or the other jump up and start crying. The answer ,I really don't know anymore you used to have a majority of decent people who stayed the course but there seem to be to few any more to matter. It will come full circle but we won't like the out come.

They’re still out there, it’s just been good for so long they got complacent.

Scary times ahead.

HobbieTrapper, I hope your right.

Saw on TV the other day a bunch of BLM protesters holding signs. One of the signs said, "White Lives Don't Matter".

Regardless of who is to blame for getting us to this point today, it will be our fault, if we don’t address it and restore our nation to the principles upon which it was founded.

You might have to do more than vote and hope.

I vote in every election but the choice is always the lesser of two evils, it is rarely if ever the best choice. And nothing ever changes. I would love to see term limits on all elected officials but I doubt it will happen in my life, heck I would also love to see unbiased news but its never going to happen. So honestly what do you think the average person, people like us can do to change the way this country is going?

Convention of States or civil war at this point.

They got the momentum. I blame mainstream media.

They're all well and fine in the big cities.......
