And apparently that was another lie as he isn't even rich.

Greed. Rich people influencing politics for decades to get their desired outcomes at the expense of everything else.
Sully0811
The parties failed to represent their constituents so badly, and for so long, that a an outsider gag candidate won.

Even that rich part is disputable

Eisenhower would have personally shot Trump !!!

Because the only people left in the party are rich morons. Not men with ideas to help the world.
unhelpfulrobot
Trump has literally never had a thought like this. I'm not even sure he would understand it if he read it.

There’s a deeper reason; the republicans of today really can’t be compared to republicans pre 1964 as there was a policy shift

Seriously, is there any good quote out of that guys mouth? Has he said anything to stir the hearts of men? At all?

Said he wont speak to us again if he doesn't get elected

He's only preaching what he's been taught. There is no intelligence present. He is motivated by ego. His followers are disillusioned into

thinking they can be like him or that he represents a working class that is awaiting validation and wealth. They have been misrepresented.

Lol skipped history class did we. Trumps nothing but a symptom. Not the cause.

Eisenhower was one of five people in US history to hold the rank of General of the Army and helped lead the D-Day invasion. Trump is (1/2)

Also Eisenhower: Lol, let's overthrow the democratically elected government of Iran and install the Shah as a puppet monarch.

the difference is today is the capability of tracking, everyone who killed caesar then ran the country, whoever killed trump would die too

At some point we've devalued intelligence.

Oligarchs, aristocrats, & tyrants always devalue the intelligence of everyone but themselves and their few, trusted allies.

The GOP spent the last 5 decades doing that for us, sculpting cultural values in such a way and destroying education in the country as well.
mie501
Nixon's Southern Strategy. Apparently putting out "CALLING ALL RACISTS!" as your campaign slogan really waters down your party's values.
Fauxcused
It does and I hope it fits the GOP. It gave them a Trump Presidency but I hope it fits these pricks in the long run.
ILikedTheirOldStuffBetter
True. Trump wasn't the first one to say I don't care about the larger damage that I create as long as I win. Burn in hell, Tricky Dick.
BurntRamen
Southern Strategy was devised by Lee Atwater. There's a recording of him explaining it in youtube.
FlatPlutoSociety
Lee Atwater was one of the worst people in the history of American politics. The amount of damage he did in his short life is unbelievable.

“Lee seemed to delight in making fun of a suicidal 16-year-old who was treated for depression" (Wikipedia)... this sounds familiar...

I'm not as rich as Trump, but I also have no debt. Like not at all. So..

Then you may, in fact, be richer than our president. :P

There's a chance that everyone reading this is richer than Trump - he may have negative equity of millions …

I recon I am, but he still has higher stantard of living. Not fair. ?

Clone past presidents.

I initially read this as "reclaim values, democracy, and democracy"
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
It's gonna take more than voting him out for you to do that. But it *is* a start.

My biggest fear is he’s going to win due to fraud and no one is going to do anything about it.
Ohmydicksmalltoo
I mean, happened the first time. Scary times, my friend.

nowadays they'll just refuse to have any of those things, they'd prefer to double down with orange racist cheeto and voter suppression

At this point I would settle for decency
nounthennumbers
You know I am not even concerned about the “values” part. Values can be pretty debatable. I want to get back to the “decency” thing.
TheBoysInTheLab
Just remember is that "Vote Trump out" and "Reclaim Values" are separate steps. Getting Orange Fuck out is only the start of the work.
singedrino
What about... dunno, more than 2 parties and more clear representation between right and left. Btw, the GOP should disappear.

Vote 3rd party. The Democratic Party is also a problem, and I think the two party system is hurting America. Fear voting isn’t going to work

The republican party has been getting worse and worse for decades, Trump isn't the problem, just a symptom. They need a 40 year time out.
Evi1Gav
Go read the Mitch McConnell page on wiki. He is largely responsible for why us politics is so appalling.
gaiidraws2
The entire party has to go. They have no ideas on how to make average Americans lives better, it's all wedge issues, racism and tax cuts.
latefodinner
You mean both parties right? Why stop with republicans, they’re all absolutely worthless!
ochermes28
The Democrats are beholden to big labor. The Republicans are beholden to big business. What’s the difference!
WorthEveryPenny
Take your republican apologist propaganda elsewhere. Democratic party is far from perfect, but its actually trying. GOP ain't even pretendin
gaiidraws2
Spare me your both sides nonsense, I actually pay attention to politics and can see nuance.
Ihzaak
"My side good, other side bad." isn't particularly nuanced... Both parties can be shitty in their own ways.

The problem is "us" vs "them", as this comment shows. Get rid of winner-takes-all, distribute the power by votes and the madness stops.

The us vs them issues are being driven home BY the gop themselves. So be it then. Bad faith traitors.

That's because they want it to be "us vs them", it works to their advantage. Time for a fundamental change to take away their power.

As a non Us person, from the outside it looks like all politicians (both sides) are pushing for that division. Which ultimately benefits
