Well, I for one (and I'm sure I'm not even close to being alone), don't think Trump is "the" issue, but I sure as hell think he is "an" issue. That being said, those who have spent the last 10+ years trying to convince us all that he is a nothingburger are the ones being truly insane...or merely dishonest.
lol. Those who think a person is the issue are the same ones who still read People magazine.
Yeah, Trump has taken some major and controversial actions which are worth discussing. But those issues can be discussed without mentioning Trump.
Now run along to your No Kings March and protest algae.

It's because of immigration. We have imported too many leftists the past several decades and their children and grandchildren are socialists.
The funny part is that the so- called democratic socialists couldn’t even say wat a socialist is. Nor could tgey say what a capitalist is. All they know is they hate America as is and want to change all of it.

I specifically pointed out that he was not "the" issue. If you don't know what "the" issue is, I can't help you.
Now, run along to your tapioca pudding and Murder She Wrote reruns.

Maybe, but I think they feed off of each other.https://twitter.com/jrobfrommn/status/2068344872474415594?s=46&t=Csl_r88muvNMBV79b5VS-Q
This is true & faaar more dangerous to America thanTrump
The lunatics on either side are always responding to something they don't like. When the right became more nativist, it was because they saw shifting demographics, made some connections with crime trends, and drew the obvious conclusions. When the left became more socialist, it was because they saw the destruction of the working class American dream, and the widening of the wealth gap to epic proportions, and drew their obvious conclusions.
When those on one side want to scream that the other side has been brainwashed by the media, but also wants to pretend their side is just rationally responding to real-time problems, that's a sign that they've lost objectivity. The Jacobins didn't take power because of a rational debate of the facts and possible policy solutions. They took power because people were so angry, they collectively snapped. You could say the same thing about the Nazis, the Stalinists, etc.
This is not a one side only problem. But it's also not a both sides problem. It's a broken society problem. Our society is fucked up, and it's fucked up in a lot of different ways, and different groups of people are going to respond to that big fuckupery in different ways. But unfortunately, very few of them seem to be responding with, "Let's see how we can work together to fix it." Instead, most seem to be responding with "Off with their heads!"
Edit to add: All of this becomes a moot point when the machines take over, anyway, of course.
@goat disagree. I think it’s far worse. I think the curtain has been pulled back and tens of millions of people genuinely want different things. And it’s not the fringes. It’s bigger than that. And that’s not good for a country. Regardless of the direction you need the vast majority rowing the same direction. Not have tens of millions polar

I don't think you're necessarily wrong. More than one thing can be true at the same time. I was just commenting on this insane idea that one side of the debate went crazy while the other stayed sane. It's all a matter of perspective, what does and does not count as sane.

It's not a right problem nor has it ever been. The right is the makers and doers. The left is the takers and the breakers. To be fair to you lefties the money is the underlying issue and it's why a lot of people move further left to socialism. However, it's misdiagnose of the problem. The problem isn't "too much capitalism".

Thank you for proving my point for me.
I don't think the numbers bear that out.Maybe, but I think they feed off of each other.https://twitter.com/jrobfrommn/status/2068344872474415594?s=46&t=Csl_r88muvNMBV79b5VS-Q
