I'd first like to say, welcome, to everyone to this thread and I hope that we can have a productive discussion and that we may even be able to learn things we might not have known from each other. Dale Carnegie said "Success in dealing with people depends on a sympathetic grasp of the other person’s viewpoint.", in his book "How to Win Friends and Influence People". I think we can all agree, that statement is the antithesis of every thing the RWED is and has been for as long as we've been a part of it. :)
That being said, I don't believe I'm talking to anybody here that is so Extreme Left that they will always blow everything out of proportion. I don't believe anybody who regularly posts in the RWED is of the insane SJW/Regressionist variety. Nor do I believe that anybody in here is so far on the Extreme Right that they could be honestly labeled as Nazis or so Zealous in their Religious beliefs that we're all going to burn in hell forever if we don't believe in everything they do.
I know. We fight a lot, right? But really, I think at least a majority of us lie somewhere near the Actual Center and lean a particular way, and the rest of us are outliers, somewhere close to the middle of either side. I don't believe that any of us are Dogmatic in our ideologies, and therefore can be persuaded and educated about things without fearing that we will lose what We are if we don't blindly continue to believe everything we do.
All of that being said, I'll be the first to admit that I may myself be wrong in some of my beliefs here. I will do my best to present the facts when I can, and differentiate when I am expressing an opinion. Since it would probably actually require a bibliography of references when all is said and done, I likely won't have references to all of the facts I state in here. Please, do not take me at my word. Investigate the issues for yourself and challenge me where you can.
So... without further ado....
WHY PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP ISN'T THE END OF THE WORLD:
1. Donald Trump is not your typical Rich Business man. Sure, he has never known what it is like to be poor, or even lower-to-middle class, but that doesn't inherently mean that one would automatically view those with social status below his own with contempt. One of the reasons that so many of the Establishment GOP members of Congress and the Senate wavered in their support of him or even outright fought against him every step of the way is because he is NOT one of them. He never was one of them. In fact, there are many people from both sides of the aisle that would label him as a Traditional Democrat with more in common with JFK than George W. Bush or any of the Republican Presidents after Jimmy Carter.
I believe that Donald Trump could be classified overall as Fiscally Conservative and Socially Liberal. I will elaborate on why I believe that now.
2. Aside from hearing rhetoric like "God Bless America", can anyone think of a time they even heard a sound byte where Trump talks about Religion? I honestly have no idea what religion he subscribes to, or how often he even goes to church. I'm sure a quick Google search could provide those answers, but I feel no need to even ask the question. I think religion plays a very small part in his life if much at all. That being said, I think there are two very sensitive issues that typical Liberals are worried about that they really don't have to worry about at all.
3. The LGBT community has nothing to fear from Donald Trump. He just doesn't care. It's not an issue he cares about personally, and I believe he will leave it up to the states to decide through their own elections how they want to handle it.
4. For the most part, I don't believe he will have much input on Abortion either, and will similarly leave it up to the states to decide. He may have to step in and voice his opinion on 3rd Trimester and especially on Partial Birth abortions though.
