This thread's OP is pretty basic.
if ya'll want to discuss who you voted for (with or without political billboards) that's fine with me .. good topic for another thread.
Some thoughts from Page 3 -

I don't see a big problem with him saying that.
i appreciate many of your thoughts, post-Trump election, and agree with this one, along with several others.
to me, they indicate you are not afraid of Trump, not buying into the hype,
which is a position of peace faith provides.
I'm pretty sure that Kingdom Christians are just strangers and aliens in the State of Illinois, and would never think of saying that they are the true representatives of the average citizen.
many think:
If career politicians and lawyers were good for U.S. government,
the U.S. would be thriving! - not choking on human law.

I did not see Trump as a better option than Clinton. I just did not see him as any worse.
I certainly would not of voted in this election for lots of reasons.
8 years ago I had severe misgivings about President Obama as well, most of which have proved to be true but I remember hoping against hope that I would be proved wrong. I wanted him to succeed. Just as I now hope that Trump does.
Bootstrap, I disagree though with one statement that you made. In regards to the speed that your society accepted a immoral president. Surly you jest.
Immorality among your presidents is not a new thing. It has long been accepted by many.
Probably there are few times in history though where both candidates failed so miserably in this category. But to castigate on side over the other on this point makes no sense in this election.
But I again make the point that I fear you missed and that was that a sizable amount of the electorate saw the left as being every bit if not more bigoted as the right and they were tired of it.
They were tired of the imbalance in reporting. (Case in point when the Dems got caught actually being responsible for the violence at the Trump rallies and it barely hit the news when everybody knows had it been reversed that would of been front page news for the rest of the campaign).
They got tired of a bunch of Hollywood elites pretending to be on the side of good when one knows that almost all they stand for is selfishness and corruption.
They got tired of the hypocrisy of someone like Hillary calling out Trump on his morality and then allowing bands to play at her events that almost made Trump look like an angel. I could go on for awhile but...
So again I do not see what Carson did in this election as being something I could encourage but nor do I think it made him an evil man. I will leave it at that.
because of recent political topics, i have been thinking of some of appleman’s input on this present administration. this seems consistent “appleman” pov.; imho, great for rereading.
i have not reviewed this thread. i was searching for some of appleman’s thoughts. found this example.
