Do you have any documentation of what the percentages are? I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_spending_as_percentage_of_GDP#:~:text=Sortable table (not available on mobile) , 2.189 55 more rows

I think Norway, Sweden, Austria are 50%. Is this correct?

This is very typical of the Left. A politician can protect themselves but the common person is not allowed. Businesses are still being vandalized and looted in Chicago and other cities. People from Chicago and Minneapolis are flocking to Wisconsin and making permanent residency here in order to get away from the lack of safety in the large cities. I think this will be a hot button issue for voters this fall.

I want to thank you @Anderz for working the ACIM journal. I have been working the ACIM program since the beginning of the year and reading your material gives me more comprehension and awareness to the program.

Well.....you can walk away.

It looks like you are understanding. Most people have hot button issues in which they contemplate who to vote for. This is not necessarily a hot button issue for me, but it is very important since it is the primary purpose of government to protect it's citizens.

Huh, a teenager fall in line with the view of there parents. Laughing hard now. On the contrary, teens and young adults are more likely to revolt the beliefs of there parents. Remember......

Sorry, I miswrote LOL:

Okay....this is just one reason why I support Trump. Since March people, as well as businesses have been fleeing large cities which are overwhelmingly controlled by the Left, and moving to more rural areas, which are more politically balanced or lean Right. Why? IMO, because it is more safe. From March through June, 8.5 million guns have been sold in the U.S. which is an increase of more than 100%, and July sales are up as much as 135%. Why? IMO, because people feel more safe having a gun for protection. Also, 35% of gun sales since March have been women, and in my experience, many of these people used to be supportive of the Left. The Left has shown us over the past several months that they are not interested in protecting the people or there property. Nor allowing them to protect themselves or there property with there extreme regulations and laws. Recently, there is an attempt to get rid of the NRA all together from the Left. Trump and the Right, have shown that there intension is to protect the people and there property, and allowing people to protect themselves as well.

Maybe you do….. Is anyone curious as to why so few Trump supporters comment on these topics? They are out there. I have been working on Self for a couple weeks and I come back to the forum and see the same Trump thumping's. Many Trump supporters on this forum are not willing to share thoughts for reasons which I think would be obvious to you, since you have been on this site for quite some time now. IMO Bait, is what this topic is, and I am not biting because I have decided that it is a waste of my time in which I would rather spend on Self at this point in my life. I have reflected on some of my own comments and see where I have been closed minded, and where I have grown. Reading some of the comments here has shown me that there needs to be more growth for me, and the forum, before I choose to interact further. I love all you guy's and I think in order to interact with the most amount of people on this forum, we need to be more open minded and respectful.

An obvious observation. Thanks for putting it out there. I didn't have the courage to do so, for fear of being called insensitive or something . This is showing me to continue to work on my-Self. Love you all.

I'm not a big Facebook fan for trustworthy sources. I prefer interviews with people in politics. For instance, Bobby Rush, who is the only person to ever win an election over Barack Obama. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jul/22/rep-bobby-rush-donald-trump-wants-race-war/

Agreed....If diseases can be eradicated, it will be done Spiritually.

You just called a population, which two times the size of the state you are in, idiots. Individual States, Municipalities, and people have the right to wear a mask if they so choose, and some are mandating it based on there own situation. If Trump were to mandate mask's for everyone the Left would be screaming......Fascism. BTW, we can also kiss in public LOL.

It's official.....We have completely Lost our minds. Although, that is why I continue to do spiritual work, to lose my Mind.

I am quite convinced that the troops have more integrity so I will be more than happy to have them over for dinner. I wouldn't want to accept help in the form of shame, guilt, apathy, fear, anger, or pride. However, I will accept help in truth in the form of Love, Joy, and Peace. No....I am giving evidence and opinion contrary to what you are attempting to emit so the people on this forum can decide for themselves what is true, factual, opinionated, or otherwise. Still Love you.…..

So you wouldn't mind if they come over for dinner? LOL If this kind of crap happened in my neighborhood....well, let's just say, these individuals would not be working on climbing the spiral any longer. These are not Integris acts so why defend it?

No....That is all that is going on with the Federal agents. Portland is going over 50 straight day's of riots. Yes, there are many peaceful protests, but every night for 50 day's there has been destruction of public and private property. Careful with that last sentence......sounds like conspiracy. They are welcome to protect Federal buildings, such as a Federal courthouse in this case, which is our property. Local News KOIN report; 7 charged with federal crimes after Portland riots Only 4 of the 7 are from the Portland metro area

Federal agents protecting Federal property is not fascism in any stage. Unhinged Liberalism is however, and you are feeding the Kraken. The Overton window is shifting.....I am not convinced it is for the good. Nations are capable of sliding downward on the spiral and in my opinion, it is the side you are taking which will accomplish this. Love is the Way.....not force.

@Nak Khid Very interesting how early polling means so very little. I read about this a while back. At this time, I think the best thing Biden can do for his campaign is have Bernie as a running mate, stay in the basement, and not debate Trump. I wonder if having Bernie as a running mate would alter the model since he had so many primary votes. I don't think this will happen but if Biden's campaign was onto this model, maybe they would consider it.

@Forestluv Like I said; I have seen many outlandish things happening over the past few months, so I will be guarded on what show's up in the media. There is routinely some type of provocation which is not expressed.

I will do the research with an open mind. So far I am seeing reports with large amounts of bias and I am not about to take your word for it. Something stinks about the way this is being reported thus far. For now, stop spreading BS unless you were there.

Imagine that, Federal officers protecting a Federal building. Sounds suspect to me.

Please indulge me and expand on this term economically far right.
