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.

1) Trump was elected largely on the Biden Administration's inability to address the growing pressure of affordability in the present - an issue that average Americans were forced to confront every day!
2) Ten months into the Trump Administration and once again the American electorate is being told to ignore the present and focus on all the supposed benefits Republican policies will deliver sometime in the future - apparently MAGA supporters expected Trump and his policies to be exempt from the same criticisms that they directed at the Biden Administration
3) While political parties out of power focus on the failure of their opponents, that represent the government, to deliver on their promises in the PRESENT!
4) Once these political parties are elected to form the next Administration, however, that messaging suddenly switches to a FUTURE ORIENTATION _ politicians can be held accountable for shortfalls in the PRESENT but 'are exempt for the failure of their policies in the FUTURE because they have yet to occur!
5) Virtually every prominent economists has concluded that Trump's TARIFFS represent a tax on the American consumer _ which are forced to pay more for imported products, particularly those foods that can't be grown in the US (ie coffee)!
6) If the Trump tariffs were such a great success, why the need for the rollback on 100's of food items - this represents an admission that the previous policy of implementing "blanket" tariffs on all the exports from foreign nations was doomed to failure, creating in havoc in domestic markets, triggering rapid increases!s!
7) This ON-OFF-ON disruption of supply chains for these items, particularly foodstuffs, was also entirely predictable - the full negative impact of Trump's tariff policies have yet to exert themselves!
8) This will be particularly acute in the American auto industry, where decades of integration with Canada and Mexico suppliers that reduced production costs can't be suddenly reversed with the stroke of a pen! -

Now even the Magadonians are starting to see how non-beneficial they can be.
It would be a lot nicer if it didn't come with the sacrifice of getting kicked off Medicare or losing ACA subsidies. Universal healthcare would be nicer for just about everybody.
