I have spent over sixty years either full or part time in the firearms industry, including nearly 25 years full time in law enforcement. Most of that career was in the firearms instruction and armorer roles. During a nearly three year duty in a corrections environment one statistic stands out. Much more than seventy percent of the offenders booked into our jail had less than a high school education. Family and education are major parts of the solution, I am certain.

The Republican Congress was for those things. He wasn’t “for” any conservative principle, though he compromised (e.g. “law and order” for gun control) where necessary to advance his agenda or legacy. Clinton was for Clinton.

Key takeaway: having someone on your side who is passionate about his beliefs is great. Conversely, an opponent who’s after wealth, popularity, and power is much easier to work with than a “principled” proponent of the Left’s evil ideology.

blammos third term contained zero virtue and disbursement amounts to bring tears.
and really, any virtue resemblance of the earlier two was only signalled.

Without problems they cannot extort more rights/money/wealth by other measures from us. Probably why everyone hates the idea of a Trump presidency. Even a perfunctory attempt at solving problems does too much to expose the game.

There is one missing part to that, nobody is immune to propaganda. It is more effective with some than others but it does leave a mark on everyone that to some extent can be manipulated.

It was the one thing Biden did right which he had to run away from. The best Dem president of my lifetime was for law and order and balancing the budget. 90s Willy Clinton could be mistaken for a modern day “moderate” Republican.

Like I always say, we know how to solve these problems because we have done it in the past. What does that mean? It means they do NOT want to solve these problems.

Coffee needed *crime control laws enacted throughout the 90’s

Hate to say it but you just described the 90’s laws enacted throughout the 90’s……..which very likely worked despite all the “super predator panic locked up too many kids” bitching we went the entire other direction with here in NY.

Not weird at all when almost everything in their culture and a fair bit in mainstream American culture has the actual racially blind application of law being against the black community specifically.

It’s a modern cultural issue that infects all of us. Life is no longer about living virtuously. It’s about getting while the getting is good. That was the entire point of the Puppet-Harris Administration. The ideological fights were a distraction.
