I lived there in the 80's also while working in Massachusetts and attending Northeastern University. The poeple were warm, community minded and not a single right wing nationalist. True, they were conservative and liked small and efficient government.... which I certainly believe in too.

New Hampshire is a great state and certainly not filled with deplorables. I say that from personal experience. Have you ever lived there?

Incredibly sad what they did to that area. Although, I'm surprised they didn't make it more gaudy.

This makes lots of sense however, the current U.S. policies won't last. Most Americans recognize the value of a strong military and economic relationship with Europe. Once the present U.S. administration is over, I believe normal relations will resume.

It's sad when pointless wars kill the youth of nations regardless of who's truly to blame. I wouldn't be surprised to know that the young man really thought he was doing the right thing.

Not surprising...he's only loyal to himself and uses others only to his benefit. I still can't believe this country elected him to that office.

He was elected by his people

You're absolutely right. This wascall about getting RFK's votes. We've seen that in most if not cases, Trump appoints incompetent people to positions of great responsibility.

My Grandfather came to the U.S. from what is now Slo akia to escape the Bolshevik revolution. He worked in the Coal mines of PA for 30 years and died of Black Lung around the time I was born. Immigrants come to the U.S. for a better life. My youngest son is now an E.R. doctor. Immigrants matter!

Steve Stratz (@steve-stratz.bsky.social) reply parent
True, you can contribute anything you want I agree, we need to enlighten people that their beliefs are rooted in ignorance and fear. False (in my opinion), by providing cogent facts, we can move people toward the realization of the truth and the error of their indoctrination.

Not surprising that tepid Ted Cruz would manufacture evidence that supports his masters position.
Steve Stratz (@steve-stratz.bsky.social) reply parent
You can't directly contradict a person's deep personal belief without providing clear and convincing evidence. Even with that, the person will likely reject your statements. It's better to present the person with some basic logical information that challenges a basic concept within their beliefs.

It's incredibly sad that all 3 branches of our Government are corrupted by Trump
Steve Stratz (@steve-stratz.bsky.social) reply parent
Your point is valid. However I believe the Democratic party is being pulled left by the likes of Bernie Sanders (one of my Senators here in VT). For example, forgiveness of all federal school loans sounds great but when you have a 36 Trillion dollar debt, not sure it makes sense.

What was obvious to me was not obvious to many others
Steve Stratz (@steve-stratz.bsky.social) reply parent
I voted for Harris because she was the obvious choice. However, what it really screwing up this country is the polarization. Democrats have gotten more liberal and Republicans more conservative. Meeting in the middle is the only true solution.
Steve Stratz (@steve-stratz.bsky.social) reply parent
I wasn't saying Trump was a better choice. I'm saying the Democrats would have won the election if they 1. Wouldn't have covered for Biden's inabilities and 2. Chose a more electable Democrat that could appeal to the center of the electorate.
Steve Stratz (@steve-stratz.bsky.social) reply parent
So discouraging π
Steve Stratz (@steve-stratz.bsky.social) reply parent
Disagree, the Democratic party chose the wrong candidate. They needed to choose someone with broader appeal. Kamala was one of the first ones out at the 2020 Democratic Convention.

Planning to go to the No Kings protest on June 14th in my hometown. I'm hoping everyone will participate in their local protest. We need to show we're against many of the things the President, Congress and Courts are doing. This is our country... not his kingdom!

Trump's tariff shenanigans make the U.S. look like an unreliable trading partner. Not surprisingly, our trading partners are looking for alternatives. I'm sure China and India are more that willing to fill that void.

Germany is permanently stationing troops abroad for the first time since WW2. I believe it's because they no longer have confidence in the U.S. providing support to NATO. picture courtesy of DW News
Steve Stratz (@steve-stratz.bsky.social)
Obviously, this is very relevant to what is happening in our country today. Media being excluded or denigrated at briefings, public officials taking bribes openly and politicians enriching themselves and their companies through official activities (i.e. state visits).

You'd think he'd have better things to do instead of glorifying himself.
Steve Stratz (@steve-stratz.bsky.social) reply parent
So, more than 50% of our voting public are nuts or crooks? No... I believe those that voted for Trump are naive about the kind of damage he could do to the country. I think they only wanted change from the politics in Washington where the Democratic party wants to push the country to socialism.
