It's not good in Europe anymore, we are enduring an illegal immigration crisis which is creating incredible strife and division in society. Countries like France are on the verge of voting Far Right.

People have had enough, they are tired of their legitimate fears and concerns being ignored by politicians. The EU an overbearing undemocratic Union is beginning to shows signs of this strain. It's not inconceivable that the entire experiment could fall apart in the next decade.


In Europe the political spectrum is different. For them, Communists are Left-wing and the socialists are Center-Left. Anyone who criticizes the socialists are considered Far Right.

In the USA, the Far Right is the racist Right, and includes the KKK and Neo-Nazis, while most Republicans are Center-Right to Right. The Democrats consider themselves centrists, although it is really the old Kennedy Democrats who were centrists. Most Democrats today are Progressives on the Far Left and follow in the footsteps of the Frankfurt School and people like Herbert Marcuse and Saul Alinsky. All critics of Islamism are considered Far Right over in Europe, and they can even send people to prison for criticizing Islam. Very little freedom in Europe unless you don't say anything but what the Left wants you to say.
That might be true, but most working middle class people like myself don't see ourselves left, right, up or down. We just want good jobs and a fair shake to support our families no matter what the media or politicians label us as. That is why you saw a lot of people who voted for Obama, voted for Trump this year. Those that voted Obama just wanted change and they bought into it. Unfortunately, he didn't do anything to create more jobs and made health insurance premiums go up over 100 percent. They can only shove so much crap down the working middle class throats before they push back. We give a lot. Black Democrat President that might change America, all aboard we will give it a shot. All we got was another politician that promoted his liberal agenda with all the LBGT, and boys using girls bathrooms. And honestly if he had just focused 25 percent on the jobs and economy of the U.S. most working class people wouldn't have gave a damn. Instead Obama put liberal agenda priorities head above shoulders over creating jobs. Well, this is what happens when we push back. Trump as President, Republican majority in the House and Senate. Hell my stock I invested in Caterpillar in 401k went up from 84 to 93 dollars so I gained a nice 5 figures. I'm happy with Trump already. This week we've worked the first Sunday we've worked in 6 years. It won't take long for all industries across America to reap the affect of the Trump presidency.
