Yes, In reality, there is no such thing as right wing or left wing, they are all pretty much the same, as both parties are lobbied to death and run on donations by the same groups of companies and people, such as the Military Industrial complex, Big Pharma, Big Oil, IT, Wall Street and AIPAC.
The funny thing is that the liberals still think Obumma was a "great" president and believe that Hillary is a liberal looking out for the welfare of the American worker, and that is complete insanity. People and specially liberals in America are completely delusional.
Even if Trump tuirns out the be a total liar, at least he had the nerve to say he was looking out for the American worker, said he was going to stop the never-ending wars, and the crazy invasion of Mexican illegal inmigrant thugs.. . Hillary didn't even make any claims of stopping the insanity that has been going for the last two neocon presidencies..

There is always a left and a right -- even if both parties are corporate/fascist -- because the public will be divided to some degree representing both the left and the right. Although this is a majority liberal nation, there are still many who hold right wing beliefs -- usually the wealthy among us who profit under capitalism.
Both Obama and the Democratic Party immediately reversed promises made in the campaign -- especially for universal health care for all -- and betrayed the Democratic voters who had put him in office.
Anyone who knows anything about Hillary doesn't consider her a liberal, though I agree that she has managed to fool many voters -- and a surprising number of female voters which I find mystifying.
Trump would say anything he felt he had to say to get elected, but his primary interest is his own wealth and increasing it. Our government has been looking the other way on illegal workers -- and bringing in workers from other countries legally for the benefit of the wealthy who profit from cheap labor. Over decades, our Congress has betrayed the American worker by bringing in foreign workers -- including professionals to work in the US. In one case, Congress first contrived to increase the numbers of US citizens training as engineers. When they had a surplus of engineers, salaries were then lowered and many left the profession. That then gave Congress cause to IMPORT more foreign engineers. And that pattern has been followed with many other professions. Hillary has been very involved in creating the wars and violence in the ME which has resulted in the greatest number of refugees ever seen fleeing these wars.

We agree on almost everything.
The right and the left is basically a puppet show, done to keep the illusion of democracy, while a few players (MIC, Big Pharma, AIPAC, Big OIl, IT) control both parties.
What we don't agree on is Trump. Trump got his MBA from Wharton.He the highest IQ since Bill Clinton, way higher than the last two morons we had for presidents. I once had a Wharton MBA as one of our directors.. and he was one of the most sensible and intelligent persons i have worked for.
The fact the Trump won in such a short period of time, shows how incompetent, hypocritical and phony our politicians are. People are fed up with them, and most of us harbor some hope of having an somewhat honest president. I think the MSM are in shock to find out that at least half this country, are not as stupid as they think we are. I don't think Trump is in for the money (like Obummer)..... his intelligence and ego go beyond that.. The guy is 70, his family's future is assured.. what can he possibly want more money for?
As he said many times in the campaign trail, he doesn't need to be president.. doesn't need the headache.. and i am sure he is right. He put his money where his mouth was.. he paid for most of his campaign... most people who do such a thing, do it for ego reasons.. not for monetary ones.
I think he wants to make history and be in the history books as the president that turned this country around.. and i don't think there is anything wrong with that. I still have hope that he may get some good things done.
