We had a republic once, but forfeited it in order to have a ‘democracy’ instead. “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” H. L. Mencken
Someone should tell the Danish gentlemen who write this feature that promises are kept, not held. Other than that, this one is absolutely right on the money.
I’ve followed liberal vs. conservative approaches for years and have concluded that even though I lean to the liberal, the conservative viewpoint is important and needs respect. The last 4 years weren’t conservative in any way I have come to understand it (except in the policies related to immigration), but extreme in lying, intolerance, paranoia, racism, contempt for anyone unlike “us”, conspiracy theories, etc. Spending wasn’t curbed, but expanded on a useless wall, nepotism, etc. Even though liberal, I feel a SANE conservative party is important, and I hope Republicans can “cure” themselves of the trumpvirus.
We didn’t forget, except maybe a bit in my county. I’m in a red county in a blue state, and my US representative thinks he only represents white male Rethugliecons. I’ll do what I can to get Calvert out of office. McCarthy & Nunes as well.

True, except for the last four years. A lot of promises were kept.

You forgot the part about spewing continuous lies and fomenting insurrection.

BTW, we need to stop responding to trolls and boosting their comments. Posting a separate thread to respond means a better post is featured.
