Not sure where things went so caustic. Probably Trump.
I remember when he struggled to find work as an engineer out of college. Had to resort to substitute teaching. This was around 2013 and 2014. What he didn't realize was that he was a victim of Obama's economic slow-play with the recovery.

Probably, but I think there must have been another event in his life for this drastic a change. Maybe his friends started making money and became conservatives like normal people.CAA Flagship wrote:Yup.

Re: Why Trump Will Win Again
I was way more conservative when I met you all. The last few years have shown me that despite all social and economic advances people fought for, we can't take anything for granted.
You call it TDS, I call it empathy; no matter the name though, I take pride in having it.
In the end, I won't be remembered for the car I drove our how big my home was. Our memories live on through the communities we build, so I'd rather die leaving it a better place than the one I was born into.

Re: Why Trump Will Win Again
Amen fellow centrist. The hysteria that both sides can produce is often just that, hysteria. Doesn't mean the world is coming to an end, despite each side's' most fervent wishes for it to be so just so they could blame the other side when it happens. Both sides are right, both sides are wrong (except for the rabid partisans on both sides - they tend to be wrong more often - seething with blind hatred does that to a person) and it will continue to be so for some time to come. Life is certainly better for the vast majority of people, at least in this nation, now than 40 years ago and 40 years from now life will be better as well.UNI88 wrote:I am confident that despite the repeated proclamations of Chicken Littles (Conks on abortion, same-sex marriage and Donks on Trump) we are not on the cusp of armageddon.∞∞∞ wrote:I was way more conservative when I met you all.
