Blog Stage 6: Critique of Classmate

https://whatsnewsamerica.blogspot.com/

        Reading the blog stage five that my classmate here posted, I agree substantially with the idea that Trump and our current political era have caused problems and tensions to arise between fellow Americans in a way it has never been seen before. I completely agree that bringing up race and gender is uncalled for and unnecessary, especially during a period of LGBT activists. Also, I do think it is interesting to note that the ideas brought fourth by Trump were all mostly new ideas, but I think these new ideas have a more positive connotation than a negative one expressed by my classmate. Due to what is currently going on in our country with excessive illegal immigration, it makes sense for a politician to propose an idea such as building a wall. The wall seems daunting and not like how the United States was founded upon; however, we need to remember that there are laws for a reason, and that immigration needs to be managed somehow-maybe with a wall or maybe not. I strongly agree with the point made about the national government losing respect from its citizens. Every video of Congress or House meetings always seems to look like a circus. I do believe however, that the United States is still strongly a world power. The song "courtesy of the red, white and blue" by Toby Keith perfectly describes America's foundations, and what happens if those foundations are shifted around by an opposing force. All in all, I agree that the politics in the United States are at a torrid time and need some major sorting out.
