Our politicians tend to sway around the middle regardless of political affiliation, which is mostly a good thing.
Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan is very conservative, suggesting some things in the past were great and worth conserving.
Obama's "Hope and Change" slogan is very liberal, suggesting things are bad now, and need to change.
Of course, both viewpoints hold merit. Things right now are fairly great, and those great things should remain. Things could be better though, and in those areas, change is needed.
I don't purge any friends, and I listen to extreme viewpoints on all sides, usually finding agreement somewhere in the middle. I have no interest in the big box "news" outlets though. If I wanted to listen to awful noise, I'd put something metallic down the garbage disposal.
Looks like I slightly bought in to the US ideal of freedom and personal responsibility.
