We've both been on the road.
I wonder if his support has waivered at all.
I told him that the Trump Party was going to start taking money away from regular people and that he was dead center of the blast zone with his military pension, VA disability and government service job - In the eyes of the Trump Party he's a complete leach.
If he wanted the GOP to give a shit about his well being he should have been born richer I said. He would tell me that isn't the point of Republican policy at all and with Trump in office I'd see how the GOP agenda would transform the nation. So deluded.
He used to get furious when I pointed out that his complete revenue stream is tax dollars coming from hard working Americans.
When he'd rant about athletes making millions and disrespecting the flag, I'd say he should be glad they make millions because wages are taxed at triple the rate as wealth is - and you exist on their tax dollars.
There are an amazing number of "small government conservatives" drawing Government checks where I work and I laugh internally at all of them as they dance on a pin head with their arguments about how they're different than the "Takers" they hate so much.
Can't wait to see how this is Hillary's fault, but I'm sure they'll tell me when I get back o the office

(5,528 posts)You know all of those "takers" have the budget in such bad shape that it had to be done.
I've seen this rodeo before.
And you are right. I am in the Engineering industry mainly living off government contracts. It amazes me how these people vote for Conservatives and then complain about the levels of infrastructure spending.
Back in 2008-2009, I even had one particularly conservative partner complain about how low the infrastructure spending was in the stimulus package. This was after the GOP tried to kill the package all together, lowered it and then ended up negotiated tax cuts in lieu of real spending. I want to bash my head against the wall. It was particularly brazen considering I had predicted the entire collapse to him a year earlier but he brushed me off.
I currently have one of those guys in the office next to me so I constantly hear him pontificating. Ugh.

To understand the matrix and paradigm we are in we must know the matrix. Being one of millions that have had NDE's (Near Death Experience) and crossed over to the other side, we all return different in a good way. In addition some of us begin to remember the 'Matrix'.
Let me try to make this short but just a little history lesson and a link to help remember that our 'collective conscience' created this plane. First we are told how the 'operation' works. According, for example 'The Gospel of Philip':.......the 'con's take the good names of those that are good and give it to them self to somehow make you think that this makes them good and the 'con's take the bad names and give it to those that are good to make you think this makes them bad....' Does this sound like some in a certain political party?
There is a purpose for all of this madness and if any have any interest in the purpose it can be found here:https://reluctant-messenger.com/gospel-of-philip.htm
We are perfect when we enter this plane, and no matter how many bad things that happen around us, we leave perfect when we return home into the the light. Ya'all keep your head up.
