If we can survive the next 3 ½ years without too much long
term damage,
the Trump debacle may be just the thing this country needs to cleanse
itself of the madness released by Trump's candidacy and election. .
People will realize just how wrong and destructive Trump's behavior and
ideas are. They'll see there is a proper and important role for government
within a free and fair dynamic capitalist economic system.
The hatred, racism and anti-Semitism will be exposed for the cancer that
it is. Trump will be exposed for the fraud he is.
Maybe the Democrats will even see that the positions of the far left are
wrong headed and perhaps equally destructive.

We need trade, successful
businesses and strong private sector unions to promote good paying jobs.
The tax code can be reformed without a vendetta to soak the rich in a
counterproductive way. We can provide for the poor, and better still,
provide opportunities so they don't have to remain poor and dependent
permanently.
Cultural differences don't have to devolve into culture wars. As the Pope
once said "Who am I to judge?"
Competence and integrity will once again be important criteria for
high office. An appreciation for decency will return. Policies of
divisiveness will be rejected.
The dark side of Trumpism will be exposed and rejected. This couldn't have
happen without the fever that is Donald J. Trump.
Many have said that I'm too optimistic; but while not every Trump supporter will be convinced, enough voters may come to understand what a disaster Trump is to change future election results.

Eric: Like this. All I would add would be a few comments:
ReplyDelete(1) Jobs require different levels of realistic training and development of valuable skills. Germany and Poland are among the countries that match the training of young people to their abilities and interests. Making a cause out of raising a minimum wage for unskilled hamburger flippers is senseless pandering to perpetuate entitlements to the wrong people.
(2) Trump is the manifestation of political disease, but I am less sanguine about the attractions of higher political office to the best people. Imagine the audiences of reality TV. Must be many people out there that like nightly stupid entertainment rather than refined contemplation. So my hope is that so-called government solutions to anything are not central to our republic. The short reign of Trump, with vibrant stock market and high spirits, shows us America is not dependent on the clowns sloshing in the swamp. The Republicans had 17 poseurs seeking nomination, not one equal to the best we have in the non-public world.
