The Energy sector was really booming under Obama. It was crashing pre COVID under Trump.
He also moved a huge swath of federally protected land in Utah (Bears Ears) to be developed. I go there a handful of times a year for recreation that is being litigated because access is being affected. So I have had to donate some money for legal fund for that to stay open.
My Brother lost his job in solar market because of tariffs.

It's simple, Trump isn't/wasn't part of the Washington establishment that most of us (including you I suspect) have argued against.
Proof of this is the hate and lies directed at Trump by that very establishment. The Russian investigation was a complete hoax pushed by the Washington establishment. Did they find some people guilty of things, yes of course they did, they always do because they know if they cast the net wide enough they find things they can prosecute on. But notice others where there is evidence of the same crimes were never investigated. This is political theater so they can point to something and say "see, I told you so". It's not about justice or what's right or wrong, it's about political power (follow the money).
The question is why so many people vote for a continuation of the very thing they say they dislike.

Sorry if some of us (in nearly every political walk of life) got tired of holding our noses for 4 years with this egotistical, selfish, distasteful, inarticulate, narcissistic waste of oxygen. All, and I literally mean ALL he had to do was be a decent human being and he would have wiped the floor with Biden but that would be just too painful to his monstrous ego...

There's only so far that agreement with policy can take some people and Trump clearly went beyond that for a majority of Americans... He didn't even have to be nice guy, he just needed to not be an unbearable prick to anyone that even slightly disagreed with him or didn't think highly of him. He could have EASILY won by a landslide but his own actions turned liberals AND conservatives away from picking him for another 4 years.

The company had been around for 20+ years. When commodity prices go up 30% because of a tariff it killed a lot of their business. Overnight they were not competitive with foreign bidders.
FYI, your side was screaming about coal jobs endlessly. Should we just let them die cause it is high risk?
Coal Industry employs roughly 50,000 people. Solar is 300,000+ and growing.

If he just would have put his ego aside and listened to doctors during Covid, provided one ounce of leadership instead of dividing and continuing with his conspiracy theory nonsense for the last 12 months, he would have won in a landslide and I wouldn't have even been upset about it. National tragedies are great for Presidents because all you have to do is act like a decent human and say some words to make people feel better about the situation. But the dude has zero shred of decency or ability to care about anyone other than himself, so he did the only thing he knows how to do which is divide and throw punches.

I didn’t make the comment assuming he is left wing or right wing, just that he summarized the liberal mindset well. Additionally, I think such an action would be moronic, but we need not worry about it because he would never do it. Keep in mind the source, some guy posting an unconfirmed manifesto from a General which wasn’t even a formal presentation to the President?
