HC I will agree that America needs to produce again as we have become a consumer nation. The war in Iraq was a waste and we should not be in the business of toppling dictators unless our allies are involved and agree. Afghanistan is another story and ISIS is a problem that the whole world needs to deal with. GW spent entirely too much $$ as well as Obama.
This statement of yours is funny though because conservatives have thought this over the last 8 years.
What gets me is that he thinks he's going to stroll in and make his own rules as if he's some kind of emperor.
Black Panthers are in the same cloth (no pun intended) as the KKK and (I guess you are referring to Bannon) as far as I know he is not a member of the KKK. If you have evidence otherwise please link. BLM has been to the White House and I see them as a problem, not as having viable solutions.
I have been wanting to address the question in your last sentence for a couple of days. I have hope for our country because what is the alternative? There is absolutely nothing I can do personally to change what will happen in DC over the next 4 years. I cannot wake up stressed every day about things I have no control over because my health and sanity is more important to me than what may or may not happen in the government. If Obama had made an executive order to ban all guns my life would have continued despite being perturbed at government stomping all over Americans' rights. The SCOTUS would likely have fixed his wagon if he did that anyway.
Your conservative friends are on the fringe of conservatism. I live in a state that is populated with those on the far right. What do you have against prepping though? Preparedness is a smart thing to do, especially where I live because you can lose power for days or weeks. Keeping a stock of ammo is also smart if only to save $ because it has tripled in price over the last 8 years. I am a pragmatic conservative not a zealot.
