The Democrats and the Left have it all wrong. Their unhinged hatred of Trump blinds them to why Americans are increasingly pushing back against their policies and programs.
Your recap of what actually happened during the Trump administration was stunning. I live in Portland, Oregon, which had the most days of street protests of any U.S. city after Geoge Floyd died. This city has still not recovered from the physical destruction of businesses wreaked on our downtown by hundreds of people, some of whom also assaulted police officers, because our woke DA has refused to prosecute those who committed criminal offenses. As a result, there has been a marked increase in violent crimes exacerbated by a serious delay in police response to all kinds of 911 calls because so many officers quit the force. Businesses have left the city for surrounding suburbs. Tax revenues are down and city services, needed now more than ever, have decreased because of the shrinking tax base. And yet most Democratic voters continue to vote for Democratic incumbents and other Democratic candidates because they cannot imagine voting for Republicans and Democratic candidates who do not support the woke agenda of the state Democratic Party have an uphill battle against the woke Democratic incumbents. The Democrats have succeeded in convincing people that they should never do anything that could be construed as "supporting rightwingers". I have been a lifelong Democrat, but now my eyes are open! Among other things, the support of the Democratic establishment for "gender identity" and the "rights of transgender people" has resulted in there being no safe spaces for women. All women's shelters now admit men who claim to be women, thereby terrifying the women in those shelters who are forced to either sleep and attend to intimate self-care in the presence of these males or sleep on the streets. And women in our women's prison are forced to share cells with any male who claims to be a woman. Most women in prison have already been sexually assaulted before entering prison. Now the State of Oregon, with Democrats completely in control of state government, is forcing these already severely traumatized women to live with men amongst them.
with all the absolute inanities of the left that you describe so accurately above, one might think that the republican party would easily take control of both houses and the presidency. If only they could get their act together and appeal to reasonable thinkers with reasonable promises.

Holly,
You are very kind.
Thank you.

Marc,
Isn't that the truth? Thanks for commenting. I would encourage you to go to my petition and take a look at it. https://www.change.org/p/reinstatement-on-american-college-of-surgeons-communities/dashboard?source_location=user_profile_started
