   It would be interesting to understand why politicians such as Trump, Vance, Kirk are not deserving of respect and high regard for their efforts to make America successful, thriving, economically percolating and healthy again? Why are they seen by some Americans in such a negative light, despite the positive intentions of their words and deeds?

      Maybe it's because they don't show a lot of respect?  I mean when Trump calls Democrats scum, it's not rhetoric that garners  a lot of respect

         How can anyone see Democrats in a positive light with all they all do and stand for? They accept all the Left has to offer.  Their support of socialism  is scummy! Contemplate the rhetoric of Mamdani, Sanders and Cortez!
         They visualize a land of high taxes rather than a land of freedom.
         
         Which do you prefer, Willowarbor?

                  Maybe they would like to be called a few of the vile names they labeled President Trump. Hitler, nazi, fascist dictator, racist, and more.  These are some of the most vile words known to man, and our very Congress members used these words and aimed them at Trump.   The left used them with purpose, and that purpose was to foment hate.  Scum--- that's pretty mild, is it not, when you look at the words I offered?  I am glad you offered up the left ideologies, saves me from doing so,

                        Sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Especially when they are not used in name calling but in explaining someone's ideology.
                        For instance, the words used by Trump in this clip were to explain that his opponent, Mrs. Harris, was a Far Left Fascist. (He might not have used the word, had it not been used on him first.)

      You have to keep in mind... this group... Trump, Gabbard, Vance... are representatives of the American people...
      
      They are the voice against the corrupt government... this hasn't ever been a by-the-party coalition... Gabbard was a former Democrat Representative in Congress... RFK Jr. was trying to run for President in 2024 as a Democrat... these Patriots... individuals who want to do right by the People, had no where else to go... the Democrats refused them, the old Republican stalwarts disliked them even more...
      
      We have Patriots in the Executive Office today... and they have allies in Congress... but they are still the few against the corrupt, the evil, the ideologically driven to destroy America... which far outnumber them in DC.
      
      One recent example was the effort to get Ilhan Omar off the Committees she sits on, where typically you don't want someone who has the worst interests for America being privy to top-secret information.
      
      https://x.com/stillgray/status/1968445445866226020
      
      House lawmakers squash effort to censure Ilhan Omar
      Democrats table measure with help from a few Republicans
      
      https://rollcall.com/2025/09/17/house-l … lhan-omar/
      
      So there you have it... birds of a feather... the flock is on both sides...
      
      It wasn't so long ago when Trump was in his first term... and they could have rescinded the ACA all together... except for the Republicans that chose to do the opposite of what they promised to do for the people who voted for them... what they ran on. 
      
      Many Republicans chose to retire from Congress, giving their seats over to open elections, many won by Democrats... so we could then enjoy two years of Impeachments and a stalemated government just waiting for what came in 2020.
      
      Remember... the Swamp goes well beyond the Democrats... still...

         I see.
         The patriots (Right wing) in the executive branch and their allies in Congress are against "the corrupt and the evil." However, those who are "ideologically driven to destroy America (Left wing and Right wing) outnumber them in DC."
         
         "The Swamp goes well beyond the Democrats."
         Yikes.

         In general, Americans are not for Socialism/Communism and Marxism.
         If they are, they are basically against our form of democracy. Do you, willowarbor, think our Democratic Republic is worth preserving? Does our constitution mean anything to the Left? Does it mean anything to the Right?
         to Trump?
         to Vance?

   Charlie Kirk called someone a narcissist. In the heat of the moment a human will fall. His message hit home, however. The horrible rude and verbally abusive man cared only for his own thoughts and his own unpermitted bullhorn.
