Probably because we are all too well aware of what the alternative was.

What would you suggest?

Hanging the bankers openly.

There is still time plenty for that. Patience...

What great act is it we are waiting for? Is the corrupt government going to punish their buddies?

Seems to me that Trump is indeed working to "drain the swamp". A necessary precursor to doing anything of that nature. Undoing 105 years of cumulative corruption isn't done in a day without massive bloodshed.

If you want to hold on to the Republic, you must do things the right way. Otherwise it is up in the air, and with the number of socialists/communists out there these days, I sure as hell wouldn't want to risk it by going bloody.

Do we really have that many or is it just a vocal minority?

Seeing as he has around a 50% approval rating, it wouldn't be unfair to assume half the people here approve.

That being said, Voat is a bit of an outlier so there will be a deviation from the norm. Since this site weighs heavily right, it is safe to say that upwards of 50% here will approve.

No... I'm referring to communism being the vocal minority. Not conservatives. It's a bunch of blank slate idiots regurgitating what they were told to.

Oh! Kek... Na, mostly shitlords. Maybe some shills, but not that many.
