Yes, writing in "all caps" is not a good idea and if the person writing is truly experiencing such emotions it's a good idea to write it out (privately), go meditate (or whatever calms you), sleep, re-read what you wrote. Consider the situation, consider the message you want to send.

Yes, Trump has been the ("left's") scapegoat for everything bad. It's actually one reason he is not a good candidate for president again. We need to leave the drama behind.

However, a lot of people are drawn to Trump because they like him "telling it like it is" without filtering his words. He certainly is not a typical "politician". In my eyes, that is a *good* thing. We don't need more politicians lying to us. We need courageous leaders that will speak their opinions and we, the voters, should be able to select (elect) the opinions we feel are justified and needed at the time.

Is this predicted "arrest" just a distraction to take the focus of the public off the financial collapse?

I know that him "telling it like it is" without sugar coating or hedging is a plus. But we need someone who can do it without the anger seeping out. I can discuss things rationally and agree much of what Trump says is a lot more accurate than what the MSM says. But he was more of a follower than a leader when it came to COVID and that was a HUGE mistake. And I think he has a bit of sunk-cost fallacy going on with it, trying to feel like he made the right decision to get vaccines out so quickly & make the bad deal with Big Pharma because of his ego and not wanting to admit a mistake.

The predicted arrest seems like it would have happened regardless. The Democrats have always wanted to do this. I don't think it's being done on purpose to take the focus away. But, the MSM will always look for reasons to change the topic if it suits them better for their agenda and chosen narrative.

Exactly, we can be blunt and straightforward without being crude and angry.

Trump handled Covid very, very poorly! Definitely the worst of his presidential decisions and management.

I think that the only reason Trump won was because they had already started a "war" against the everyday working man and woman and he was simply a representative of the fed-up people who the "elite" had been "persecuting" prior to Trump ever even being nominated.

Like I said in the article, whatever you resist persists and gets larger. There's been a long war going on against the general population in the country by the "elites" and it's no wonder the people "fought back" by voting for Trump against the "elites." The reason the "crude" and "angry" stuff wasn't a deal breaker back then was because the people had already had enough and this was the best reflection of their attitude back then. I hope that the Republicans have a better reflection next election. But it's probably only going to get worse as I said.

I'm expecting the future to be "worse" for the next 10 to 20 years, possibly for the next century!
