What exactly do you mean when you say the "resist Trump" thing was good? Trump has been doing a pretty good job since he got into office, he's been promptly getting on with fulfilling his campaign promises. Most of these people who continue to kick up a fuss about Trump are doing so for stupid reasons, not because of his policy or anything but just because they don't like him, and want to make it as difficult as possible for him to manage the country.
I really have no association my generation of millennials who seem to all by lefty socialists. They feel entitled entitled to everything, and think "the rich" should pay for it, because in their mind anyone who makes a lot of money is automatically an exploiter.
I think a lot of his campaign promises were stupid as fuck, that'd be why. Can't fault him for actually following through with stuff like the Muslim ban, it's what the American people voted for when he said he wanted to do it in the first place. The "resist trump" thing is more of a welcome reminder that a lot of Americans don't believe in that stuff at all. Especially when it involves important people, not just protestors, i.e. the "so-called judge" that blocked the executive order for the ban.

- -Temporarily banned immigration from the most dangerous Islamist countries, as identified by Obama, until vetting can be established. Check, seems logical. To be clear, it's not a "muslim ban", only a ban of countries that have been confirmed to be dangerous, hosts to ISIS or whatever
-Repeal Obamacare. Check, it was a horrible failure and vastly increased the price of healthcare.
-Reduce taxes and regulation for businesses. Check, that should encourage business in America and improve our economy
-Get out of the TPP. Double check, that is great for reasons I don't think I need to explain.
-Stop foreign lobbyists in America. Check, we don't need foreign agendas influencing out elections
-Remove criminal illegal immigrants and impose mandatory prison sentences for repeat offenses. Check, regardless of your stance on illegal immigrants from Mexico, you have to agree it's not OK that multiple-time felons can keep coming back into the country
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this happen with every president?
The ban on travel from those countries was nonsensical. Not only that, but the way they went about it was nonsensical also. Just throwing out an executive order with no warning completely fucked over a lot of people.B1rd wrote:

I don't mind protests, but I get sick of all the shit flinging, and people acting like they under Nazi occupation. Trump really isn't that far right-wing, and the resistance he's getting really isn't proportionate to anything he's done. This hardcore antagonism is going to do nothing but create even more instability, and create create similar reaction from right-wing supporters.

Obamacare being repealed with no replacement planned was a very stupid idea.
I don't agree with reducing taxes and regulation on American businesses.
I don't actually know enough about the TPP to be able to tell if getting out of it is a good or bad thing, but it seems to be a good thing, sure.
Trump never stopped foreign lobbyists in America, has he?
I just want to say that his promise to "drain the swamp" was completely BS and it's probably the thing he's gone back on harder than anything else. The Trump administration has been filled with awful, awful people.
I feel like illegal immigrants probably aren't a big problem, but I don't know how America is with that stuff. Repeat felons not being allowed back into America sounds fine though I guess.
Also I think the wall is really stupid too.
I don't agree with the actions of left-wing extremists that just hurt their cause, I assume those are the kinds of people you're talking about with that last part. At the same time, they're probably not as big of a deal as the media that you read claims them to be (media on both sides can be pretty damn stupid with the feelsy stuff)
Probably the biggest thing that bothers me is how his fans STILL use "Drain the swamp!" as a slogan, despite picking many of his cabinet members straight out of Wall Street or a pool - or swamp 
- of people who've paid enough. They like to see things like Trump purging or silencing any public servants who disagree with him, while turning an eye to the incredibly transparent displays of corruption in his cabinet. They never cared about whether the swamp was drained, they just wanted anyone blue out of power. Fuck 'em all.

I heard Trump had some bantz with our Prime Minister.
Forums are for discussion. As long as that is present, you have a healthy forum.johnmedina999 wrote:

While most people came here to click circles, some of them want to talk about things while they're at it, too.
Sorry, I'm watching both threads closely, but don't have the intention of joining. Thanks for the invitation.B1rd wrote:

Honestly it's pretty funny. At least here in Ireland most of our parties are extremely moderate, neither leaning left nor right, so there aren't radical differences in the parties like the states.johnmedina999 wrote:
