Patricia Woods: GOP following Trump's lead like lambs to slaughter

Patricia misses the point. Up to 2016, both political parties have been pursuing policies in the interests of the elites and not the people. In 2016, many of us were tired of the endless wars (under both the Bush and Obama administrations), poorly negotiated treaties and so-called "free-trade agreements" (that resulted in the export of manufacturing jobs and whole industries to China, India, Mexico, and elsewhere), and uncontrolled immigration (resulting in disparate outcomes such as increased competition for the jobs that were not already outsourced, downward pressure on wages, and increased sprawl and generation of greenhouse gases). We were willing to trust an untested choice in Trump, who said what many of us were thinking. Since becoming president, he has worked to address these three issues, with the establishment and the press fighting him every step of the way. Yes, he is a very flawed human being and I don't like many of the things he says, and his opposition to masks is downright stupid. I would rather not vote for Trump, but Biden stands for a return to the status quo and what we rejected in 2016 (endless wars, outsourcing of industries and jobs, and uncontrolled immigration). Go ahead, call me a racist or a fascist, I really don't care anymore. And as for the electoral college, it's in the constitution - DEAL WITH IT!

Upon returning to the White House last night, after climbing the stairs and standing on the porch giving two thumbs up - Trump looked and acted like the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Scary.

Patricia is woefully uninformed in her belief that Trump voters are "Followers" We aren't. The vast majority have lost faith in the political system and were looking for an outsider who sees government as the problem, Taxes on every level are crushing us and in many cases are redundant, Illegal aliens are illegal aliens and should be sent home, A strong American military does not mean fighting other countries wars for them. Trump Values and embraces the 2nd amendment like we do. We see the country descending into socialism and ultimately communism where all American freedoms will be lost unless we push back right now. The republican party wanted us to shut up and vote for McCain and then Romney and you know how that turned out. Frankly I wanted Condoleezza Rice to run instead of those 2 bozos.

I saw followers when Obama was elected having a party and cake when he won right in my office at the trade port in Pease. They were so proud of themselves for having just elected the first black president. As I left that day I turned and said to them "See you in 4 years." There was no celebration or cake 4 years later. They walked in with their heads down. They apparently realized they had elected the wrong person and did not want to admit it. So they elected him again. I honestly don't think Romney would have been better. "The devil you know" This why people are going for Trump. It isn't about him, It's about all of the above and more. We are trying to avoid some kind of violent conflict but unfortunately we are on a war footing and groups like Antifa are driving us ever closer. If your looking for followers look to the radically left. Trump is our vehicle and we are not backing down.
