This may sound contradictory, but while I do hope that 0's attempts to convert the US to socialism fails I hold out hope that his presidency is a success. Where the primitives and I will surely differ is what constitutes a successful presidency. The primitives undoubtedly view a successful presidency as one that has led the USA into the depths of despair of communism or socialism; however, as the USA is a republic based upon the principles of freedom and capitalism, I view a successful presidency as one that leaves the country as a whole in a healthier and safer state both economically and militarily while retaining those principles of freedom and capitalism.
So as I said, I hold out hope, but I realize the reality will likely lead to a different destination. The phrase "hell in a hand basket" comes to mind.
