Salmo,


Those left countries also aren’t without their share of problems, either. It’s also easy to cherry pick small, homogenous demographics and apply a broad principle when the collective values are the same. The problem with socialistic ideology within the US is there are too many conflicting views, values and demographics. It simply cannot work here without a host of problems. Socialistic ideology can be better applied when the demographics are most similar.

I always give credence to the adage, “be wary of simple solutions to complex problems” but quite often there are exceptions to this. As a general rule, I believe that individuals are better problem solvers than systems and government. I do realize the shortcomings of such a belief, but plenty of problems are also created try to solve others. Unintended consequences are often not considered. Republicans and Democrats alike suffer from this problem. I think it’s better to err on the side of people solving their own problems, having a more smaller and limited government, and allowing laissez-faire economics to run its course. Again, not perfect, simply better.

And again, I challenge you to view situations more objectively. Your bias against Trump is unwarranted evidenced by your unwillingness to address ANY positive aspects from Trump or his presidency. There is plenty of good to go with the bad you know. While I am not a fan of say, Joe Biden, I also won’t hesitate to share the positive or redeeming aspects. But that is because I am more objective and reasonable than you.
