Why don't people like Trump?

In no small measure because the paradox of Mr. Trump and "Trumpism" is that he - and it - are so disagreeable. This has an enormous appeal to his base voters. So while former President Trump does... Society & Politics

Are today's politicians uneducated about history?

This will be a quick, and uncharacteristically for me, short answer. However, given as I have worked for a several Members of the American House of Representatives as well as two United States... Society & Politics

Did you know that Biden and Trump each got more popular votes in 2020 than any other Presidential candidate in history?

Voted A and B - though for purposes of this question, voted B. Frankly, winning the most popular votes is not only not important as a constitutional point except insofar as the popular vote - by... Society & Politics

Why are Republicans obsessed with Reagan?

Actually, obsessed with Reagan? All the discussion these days is about Mr. Trump. A presidency that failed after one term and that divided the country more than not. By contrast, certainly by far,... Society & Politics

Do you think censorship has no place in a free society?

Generally, the answer would have been "yes." However, the problem is that the question is too generalized and lacks nuance in several respects. To start, censorship by whom? If a parent tells his... Society & Politics

Are the fires of cancel culture, perpetuated predominantly by the left-side of politics, finally starting to extinguish?

t is hard to say, but there is at least some indication that the culture is gradually moving away from "wokeism" and the like. It being noted that the nation has been here before. If anything, the... Society & Politics

Why are the media going nuts over Joe Biden fist bumping MBS?

The problem with Mr. Biden's "fist bump" is, of course, symbolic. However, it symbolized more than simple hypocrisy on the part of the President. Rather, it represented a significant policy... Society & Politics

Abortion middle ground?

Voted "NO" as the rights and needs of the child are paramount. Adding to this then that the woman is obliged to carry the life she made - absent a threat to her life - and the man is similarly... Society & Politics

What is Left/Right politics to you?

First, to start, the terms "right," "left" and so forth, are not terribly helpful. The usage comes out of the French revolution, when supporters of a republic sat to the left of the Speaker's... Society & Politics

Do Republicans Love Nazi's?

You seem to misunderstand the orientation of political parties and ideologies, both currently and across time. Who said this? "I'm a socialist and a very different kind of socialist then your rich... Society & Politics

Are you for or against defunding the police? Why or why not?

Against. No joke, when I was no more than 5 years old, I can remember my mother telling my younger brother and me, "If you kids get thrown in jail you can expect to stay there because I won't be... Society & Politics

What political ideology is more concerning to you; Fascism or far left liberalism or do you consider them both as equally concerning to live under?

Voted C, though at any given moment in history one may be more of a threat than the other. That said, in terms of their methods, both are more or less the same thing although very different... Society & Politics

If you’ve been watching the hearings what political party do you identify with? Democratic or Republican?

The party I chose is Republican, but that says less than people assume. American political parties are not ideological parties as you tend to see in Europe. Rather they are lose knit coalitions of... Society & Politics

The president thinks the democrats will win the November elections based on getting women to believe they will get abortion rights back. What say you?

Probably not. In fact, most Americans, although they have an opinion on the issue of abortion, tend not to be that strongly opinionated about it. As one wag put it, "Americans are opposed to... Society & Politics

Do you think Republicans who obsess about Hunter Biden are similar to Democrats who obsess about Donald Trump, Jr?

Well, the difference at this point is that Hunter Biden's actions may have compromised his father. This making what Hunter Biden has done of more immediate relevance. By contrast, the main... Society & Politics

How long before the US splits up into 2 countries... gun-carrying, anti-abortion states and anti-gun, pro-abortion states?

It will be quite a while. First, because that whole "leaving the Union" thing was tried in the 1860s and was settled - albeit not without a bloody fight. However, that pretty well ended the... Society & Politics

Who would win in a war between United Kingdom and the United States?

There is little doubt that the United States would win. However, that does the UK an injustice as by global standards it is not an inconsiderable force. The UK lacks the numbers that it once... Society & Politics

Is Truman the president who enabled American hegemony over the world?

The question is a bit oddly phrased. Did President Truman "enable" American "hegemony"? To start, President Truman certainly was the architect of American foreign policy at a propitious moment... Society & Politics

What year were you born in? Do you feel as old as your age? Or you’re just as old as you feel?

To start, I was born on August 10, 1963 and will be turning 59 this August. As to how old I feel, true story: This happened when I was in my 30s. My mother and neighbor and I were talking... Society & Politics

Why do americans like/don't like Trump?

Not all Americans do. Actually President Trump's support has been remarkably constant. Hovering around the 47% mark since he was elected and - unusually - not much impacted one way or the other.... Society & Politics
