I guess it is no secret that the majority of Americans are not fans of Trump.
I believe that Trump probably has reason to keep us safe but surely we can do this without immigration being the enemy. We were all immigrants at one time. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. The majority of Muslims are good people. It's never a good thing to use a broad brush when describing any nationality, sexual orientation, or race. Can we not agree on that without name calling?

This is a good post.
My opinion is that there are too many extreme activists in both parties.
The Republican Party and Democratic Party have both been taken over by extremists which simply makes the gap larger.
Personally, I found both candidates for President to be offensive, thus I "wasted" my vote on an independent candidate.
For me, someone who really enjoys political discussion, I am forced to really read more than I already had been. I do not trust either, so I try to stay informed.
I suppose I used to be a Republican who, in general, supported them and opposed Democrats.
Now, it is issue by issue for me.
To directly respond, it appears we need candidates at all levels who can offer legitimate common sense ideas, and not be drowned out by extreme.
Last election we went extreme and based on the beginnings of the administration, there will be a lurch far left during next congressional elections.
Why we cannot join hands and at least recognize our enemies and friends.
As we yell at each other in the USA, we embolden our enemies.
