[MBZ] Serious question that does not need to turn into a political baby fest

2021-01-20 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
Here is a serious question for my democrat friends. For the last 4 years I have seen non stop obsessive posts (on Fakebook) bashing Trump. He is now out of office and I still see this. I do not recall ever seeing any positive posts promoting Biden and what good he is going to do for our country.

Good point, I'll concede that.  Plenty of stuff Trump did that I find disagreeable but in general the idea of the guy from outside the organization coming in to clean house is appealing, much more so than seeing a 50-year corporate hack coming in to "fix" things by putting all the old managers
