Change "Communism" to "The Resistance" and his comment would be
absolutely true today.

He must have been referring to "deplorables".


Democracy is messy. If the rich keep robbing the middle class and the
poor, you're going to see a lot more of what you apparently abhor in
terms of behavior of the have-nots.

One big problem with that statement is that these mostly are *not* "have-nots". These are well-heeled college kids who have taken on a cause that's been fed to them by a liberal system. They finish throwing bricks and burning, take off their black hoodies, and get in their BMW's to go to Starbucks before settling down to some Xbox action.


Most significant societal change to help those who most need it has come
about with the leadership and assistance of liberals of every
socio-economic class.

Partly true in the past. Too bad it's the liberals who are foisting such horrific things on us these days.

Actually Trump is working on those issues as we speak. You need to
be patient though. Trump can't fix all the problems that weren't
addressed by the prior administration by snapping his fingers.
It'll take a little time to clean up the mess.


He's working to destroy them.
