Power and Politics: Influence of Trump

In 2016, the election of President Donald Trump changed the political landscape in America at least for a decade or more...

Why?
  • Because Trump was an political outsider
  • Because Trump was a billionaire
  • Because of Trump's accomplishments before COVID
  • Because the Democrats spent 4 years trying to remove Trump from Office
  • Because Trump supporters divided the country
  • Because of the controversial 2020 election 

The downside of any political power game is:  RETRIBUTION and PAYBACK  neither of which helps the general population at all.

Faced with 4 years of a Democratic Agenda, the Republicans will try to resist the Democrats even though the Democrats have the majority in both houses.  While the resistance is FUTILE, it will be covered by the news media and the general public may have a chance to watch it on the news and hopefully make informed decisions when voting next time.

PLUS...
50% of the general public wanted TRUMP re-elected so they are going to be against whatever it is that the Democrats want to do...

AND...
while our country remains divided for the next four years, the rest of the world will take advantage of our division and do things that they normally would not have done when we were united...  a united country can put pressure on CONGRESS to take action even when Congress does not want to take action...

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES...
our divided country could become even more divided...  even though the Democrats are asking the other side not to do what they did and come together...  the odds of that happening are a million to one if not worse.
For instance:  I peed on you but please don't you pee on me now...
