  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

...I'm just trying to piece together why the left hates him so much. That's all.
The main one is what I said in post 9: he's full of it.

People have been souring on him for a while. The first time I remember catching wind of it was when those kids were trapped in a cave, he sent a makeshift submarine and then started snapping at people involved who said it wasn't practical.

In and of itself, that was fairly minor, but it accelerated, first with a bunch of things at Tesla like dishonest claims about coming features, poor decisions about designs, and poor QC. Then it really ramped up when he took over Twitter and it's gotten worse since.

DOGE is the best thing since sliced bread, it has American approval at 72%

I recall that the most polling company previously predicted a landslide victory for Kamala Harris. I would advise against placing too much trust in polls, as they are often inaccurate.

That's because those "cuts" haven't come out of their own pockets yet....but every day more and more Americans get entrapped in DOGE's net of layoffs, poverty, inconvenience, reduced services.

Social Security is next, and believe me, the Gray Panthers will rise again. Social Security is the third rail of politics, and if Musk or Trump mess with it, they will get zapped out of public life.

It does not bring me joy that it will take something like Social Security cuts to zap Musk and DOGE (and Trump) out of public life. Seniors with 65+ years of life experience should have been able to see these problems when Trump made his first campaign speech in 2016--like I did. SMH.
DOGE 72% approval with voting Americans

Get back when the number drops below 50%, big smiles!

Elon buying Twitter and freeing up censorship on conservatives was the foundation that got president Trump elected, the leftist democratic agenda on removing conservatives from the town square through censorship was "Stopped"!

He can afford hundreds of security guard, so his fears are groundless.

But it seems as if he may be getting an attack of conscience. He is aware of the concrete harm he is doing to tens of thousands of people--so far--and worries that someone may be angry enough to try to assassinate him. The solution to this mental angst is to look at it as a sign from God. God is telling him that his actions are wrong and he must amend his life and give up these actions which will drive the US into a severe recession.
Yep instead of exposing corruption while trying to fix the system, he's really just out to severely harm tens thousands of people.

I think investors are unhappy already. I am just hoping that popularity is important enough to him to scrap the tariffs before there's a revolt.
I believe that you are hoping in vain, because in his first term of office, Americans understood and accepted the necessity of tariffs.

I listen to economists, not Trump voters.
Trump's track record for truth-telling, as recorded by fact checkers, is not good.

Are those the same economists who predicted a weak economy with high inflation during Trump's first term as POTUS? If so, then I recommend that you don't listen to their fallible predictions.

They are the economists who saw Biden's economy work well.

The biggest lie is that the economy under Biden was bad. It was great. Low unemployment and lots of growth.
The post-Covid supply chain inflation occurred throughout the world, but we handled it better than other countries.

Now we have less job growth, mounting layoffs, tariff wars, inflation, stock market woes, and Europe suspicious and distrustful.
Heard yesterday other nations don't want to share intelligence with us because of Trump and Gabbard. France is offering its nuclear power to help Europe fight Russia and Putin--an enemy of the free world.

Hopefully they stop farm welfare ‘subsidies’ next, right?

That will save the government billions.

Everyone supports the elimination of abuse and fraud, but political theatrics are generally not desired.

Here are the facts

Approximately 2.2 million federal employees working in all 50 states and every country around the world.

DOGE employee number is 20.

You seem like an intelligent individual. Could you explain how 20 people were able to uncover so much abuse and fraud within the entire federal government in less than 45 days? Remember, these 20 employees are human, not demigod.
