I'm an American. I was born in Canada, I worked and lived there for a seven-year stretch not terribly long ago, but I don't know what the pulse of the population is today. I can say that one of the key differences between Americans and Canadians is Canadians have this belief in government as a positive power where Americans, at least until 2008, saw government in less generous terms. Now, at least here in the U.S. it's all about the show, reality-TV as politics. I hear all this talk about how the majority of the population leans conservative. I've heard that for decades. But the movement...well, there isn't one. And it goes deeper than being afraid being called names and getting the online mob on their cowardly asses. At least here in the U.S., there hasn't been a genuine opposition party since Ronald Reagan was at the helm. And even then the conservative movement was running out of steam by the end of his second term. Bush stuck the knife in, the Tea Party twisted it and put the movement on life support, Trump said F-it and pulled the plug.
There is no unified platform, no plan on the right. Trump said he was going to close the border but what happened? Some judge in Hawaii said he couldn't and Trump tucked his tail. He said he was going to cut spending then signed off on trillion dollar budgets. He said he was going to lock Hillary up and then let her off the hook. Why? Because he didn't know how to govern. That is the problem with "The Show." Once the show-types get in power they don't really have a plan and the people they turn to for a plan are democrats in disguise so we end up supporting whatever the left wants done.
It's systemic. It's not that they are afraid of being called names, they don't believe in the stuff they are peddling. Look how many of these jokers win their primaries by 30, 40 points. Why? Republican voters like the show. Why? Because outlets like fox news and so-called right-wing media do their job and sell it to them. Why? Because they make money. Where is the money going these days? To the left. Why? Because they all come from lefty universities. The dots aren't hard to connect. Like the demon Azazel tells Denzel in the movie Fallen: "Open your eyes Hobbs. Look around some time."
