Politics 2: Electric Boogaloo

Well, blame Reagan for that. The man created a political norm that’s existed right up until now. I’m sure historians will debate whether it ended with Obama or Trump. It’s worth remembering that when Obama was elected in 2008, being for gay marriage was actually the unpopular option. The fact that’s changed, on top of other things, is enough for there to be a debate there.

Fair point (to both mrebo and mfm). As Barack Obama said himself, the minds of the American people (I’m paraphrasing) work like a pendulum. There is no straight line. Another part of it is a rejection of Obama’s ideals, or the liberal’s ideals, after it being what I’d call the dominant way of thinking for much of the decade.

Trumps loyalties have always been devoted to Trump and nothing or no one else. I don’t know the exact reasons but I don’t think there’s any question he’s acting this way to try to protect himself.

Oh, absolutely. Nonetheless, his actions in protecting himself are putting this nation in jeopardy, alienating our allies, and appeasing the Russians at every turn. It’s just gotten so obvious I’m shocked nothing is being done about it.
