Conservative only. It's a great time to be in America now

[Twilight Hue]

Please note, I put it in conservative only because I don't care what liberals have to say or think in regards to the successes that Trump has accomplished so far.

This this is for conservative input only.


For starters the economy is certainly improving, I got more money in my pocket now, hopefully that Trend continues. There's a lot more help wanted signs than then i used to see meaning (better) jobs are coming back.

Hoping to see a Resurgence in major industry as opposed to service-sector jobs like call centers, McDonald's and Burger King that liberals think is just great. It's not.
I'm talking about real good paying, long term jobs like Manufacturing and such.

With the tweaking of NAFTA perhaps major industry in this country has a chance to flourish again and make it appealing for corporate interest to settle on home soil.

Unhindered and unchecked Immigration is finally being addressed.

Healthcare had some badly-needed tweaking of which the unconstitutional mandate has finally been destroyed (huge victory) exposing the incredible lies from the liberals who actually created this mess buy totally dismantling the existing Healthcare System and replacing it with a haphazard poorly thought-out broken system. Trump is finally working on helping put this back on track with a reasonable and realistic approach although there's clearly more work to be done here. I'm confident he'll get a second term to see it through.

The American flag is finally getting some respect of which liberalism despises in the public Arena. More politicians are wearing the American flag unlike a lot of liberals who totally omit this important thing. Because of Trump I see a lot more patriotic people who really care about making America great again. In my area there's a lot more American flags now in the neighborhood.

Historic changes now occurring in North Korea with hopes the Summit will bring about a peaceful resolution and better still, the demilitarization of North Korea once and for all.

Best of all we finally got a president who is attempting to keep his promises.

To my fellow conservatives here on RF.

Do you think it's a great time to be in America in hindsight of all the damages liberalism has done to this country to finally see some of the wrongs corrected?

It's been a long time in coming since we had good news in this country. I'm just happy to see some of this turning around for the better.

I'm a conservative, but this makes me roll my eyes so hard I may have detached a retina.

Let's discuss these ideas. You want to see manufacturing jobs come back? How do you think that's going to happen? Where do you think all the manufacturing jobs went in the first place?

I wonder how I got 4 funnies, three of which apparently are anonymous since it didn't show up on my alerts. A mystery worthy of Hercule Poirot heh...;0)

Honestly I don't think manufacturing jobs are going to necessarily come back from overseas, too much infrastructure already established.

What would be nice is to see a Resurgence in businesses so a person can make enough money to support a family by himself or herself and have a decent retirement and pension.

Honestly I don't know Trump will achieve, but anybody who does bring back prosperity and success for the common people liberal, conservative or otherwise will have my vote.

What I think is needed is a revisit of the 40s and 50s minus the obvious shortcomings like racism and such.

We nees that kind of country back...

I think Trump is starting to lay the groundwork because people's attention love or hate Trump, is squarely focused on the political Arena.

Trump is certainly accomplished more than any president as of late in a positive way and setting the groundwork for making this country a country of Independence not dependence as the Socialist would like to have it.

You mean things like the 90% marginal tax rate, and the launching of huge taxpayer funded initiatives like Social Security, the "free way" system, and the GI Bill?

PS, if by "conservative" you mean Trump supporters, disregard this post. I am not interested in your input anyway.

Agree with you 100% here.

Agree with you 100% here.

Trump is the most successful president we've had in a long time when you consider campaign promises made and actual steps made to fulfill them.

While Libby's crybaby the uncountable tantrums over the popular emotional and tear provoking drama, "As the White House Turns", Republicans have quietly been busy at work proactively focusing on and dealing with well, the real matters of State.

Trump has done a damn fine job.

Personality notwithstanding, but by his actions and keeping his promises to the constituency.

It's why I voted for him and why I'll vote for him again provided he keeps the nose to the grindstone as he's doing now.

I'm a fiscally conservative libertarian progressive who feels that neither party represents me at all.
Do you mind if I chime in?

I don't, no. I've come to love America in my time here; I love the outgoing and practical nature of the people, the abundance of opportunity, the large emphasis on basic principles (i.e. rights) in politics. But I don't think right now is a good time for America, or for American conservatism.

Trumpism, it seems to me, represents the replacement of civil discussion with bullying. Yes, we see this on the campus left too, and feeding the monster on either end is only making the problem worse. Further, it represents the gutting of a basic safety net in healthcare that even conservative luminaries like Friedrich Hayek advocated, and a dangerous hollowing out of environmental protections that exist to conserve health and natural beauty. It represents a growth in power of the centralized imperial presidency, as opposed to the backseat administrator role playing second fiddle to the legislature and states classically advocated by conservatives. But most fundamentally, it represents personality-focused politics overriding reasoned discourse, and increased polarization that risks tearing society apart. This personality focus is particularly around an aggrandizing and hedonistic personality that the right would traditionally abhor.

In short, it seems to me like it has little in common with traditional conservatism. In countries with multi-party systems, it seems more akin to parties that frame themselves openly as radicals of the right.

I think a lot of it has to do with image.

People are just sick and tired of lame duck presidencies that accomplished very little or nothing.

By presenting a raw assertive approach coupled with actual fulfillment of campaign promises I think it sends a strong message that those days are over.

I wanted a do something president , not a do-nothing or a do things half*****d without thinking things through at the expense of the common citizenery type of president.

Most of the criticisms and character assassination attempts directed at President Trump obviously have to do with his personality and character, not the actual policy implemented thus far.

I'm not happy with some of his policies, mostly the LGBT ones and the anti-environmental ones but I'm overall okay with how things are going. The media circus is disgusting and the hyperbole and hysteria is out of this world. The mainstream media has finally lost its mind. And yeah - the guy is a scoundrel. I don't expect him to be ethical or nice. And that's really sad but that's were we are as a nation. But he makes me laugh and he's witty. Lol. I'm mostly happy that we haven't gotten into another war and that the economy is going well. So thumbs up for that.
