No. It's what he has lowered himself to. Running like clockwork? You think that what is going on in this country is even.... normal? Wow! And we thought they couldn't get the bar any lower!.
Well many are Golem! But guys like you don't seem to take others "Americans" doing better as a sign of better things happening! The leftist are so fixated on political NONSENSE like a toothless impeachment that you "Obviously" don't seem, don't want or HATE to see fellow Americans doing better under a Republican President.. I USE the term Republican because the name of the President is not important as much as the party label ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯
I agree that people see what they want to see. But the fact is most see it all, while some people refuse to acknowledge the part they don't want to see, and pretend it isn't there. If you are unwilling to see the issues with your own view of things and with the leaders you support, reason and logic are undermined by willful blindness. Neither side is perfect here, but we still have to be able to have a grasp on reality in order to make sound decisions. It makes it hard to resolve when leaders and media tip the scales of judgment to arrive at a chosen answer, and it confuses people, especially those who lack self confidence or solid values. Not good for the nation.
Oh never my optimism Golem, pessimism looks really natural on leftist and democrats alike ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯
If that's what you call "optimism", your bar is as low as your bar on what you expect from this President.
Don't dwell on the optimism to much Golem, that's hardly going to be a easy process.. Just take a little moment of your day and try and to get comfortable with the idea of pessimism and the other will emerge on it's own like MAGIC
