I think if the Republicans had nominated someone else who shared the

I think Trump did many things that were in the best interests of the
USA. I can't say the same for the current crop of Democrats.

The PBS show Frontline seemed to put the real divide at the election

Mrs.E. (a Trumpster) and I had a recent debate about the status of
this country.
My position is that although politically inspired
dissension has existed for many decades, the current situation, full of
animosity and hatred started when Donald Trump walked down the golden
escalator and announced his candidacy for POTUS. Since then,
throughout his term in office and to this day the division (which
Walter claims
may lead to a Civil War) continues.
Before Trump, the country had elected Republicans and Democrats, often
with much debate and alliances but Trump's eventual election started
a whole new level of division that has pretty much erased any true
moderate or "centralist" beliefs. People today are either left or
right. There is no other option. If you don't hate Trump, you are
a Trumpster ... and a racist to boot.
Mrs. E.'s position is that the people elected him.
I think if the Republicans had nominated someone else who shared the
same policy views as Trump but was better equipped temperment-wise
to execute those policies, we would not have the ultra political
division that exists today.
I think Trump did many things that were in the best interests of the
USA. I can't say the same for the current crop of Democrats.

in power to undo all of the good things the prior administration has done
for the country. Anyone who believes the current administration is doing
good by America is out of his mind. I suppose it is possible for a
centralist to be out of his mind. :-)
My problem with Trump is that I believe that the office of POTUS
requires a certain level of maturity, professionalism and a civil temperament, all of which Trump lacks. He acts more like a junior
high school bully.
Yesterday I spent an hour or so watching old videos of Ronald Reagan
speeches including a debate with Jimmy Carter in 1980. Both were
critical of each other's policy views but I was struck by the
respect they gave each other personally. What a difference
to what we witness today! Trump started his campaign by
verbally harassing and personally attacking the other 16 Republicans
seeking the GOP nomination .... well before the Democrat's "Russia,
Russia, Russia" mantra really took hold. It's in his DNA.
Anywhoo, let's see what happens in 2022 and 2024.

The post-mortem of the Bush/Gore contest indicates Bush won. He also >defeated Kerry for re-election in 2004.
If you haven't, I recommend
reading Bush's book "Decision Points". In it he lays out several of
the critical decisions he made as POTUS in a detailed, non "hyped"
manner. It left me with a more heightened degree of respect for the
man.
If you had to choose, which of those two
would you rather be in a lifeboat with, far out to sea? Put
another way. Would you rather have the wheeler dealer or the
hollow man as president?

Actually I'm a centrist and don't condone violent protest for any reason
or cause. What's happened is that the right has moved so far in that
direction, that moderate republicans are now incorrectly viewed as left
wingers. And the cult of Trumpism has become so deeply rooted that
anyone else is viewed as a radical. Sad.
Nothing centrist about your comments.
