Hi, how are you doing today?
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Ok, how about you?  Just listening to President Trump speak about the wall and the budget funding deal.  The Democratic Party (one of the two major parties) will surely not back this.
human
*hands at sides* I don't think anyone can back a wall. I think they will back border security which is something achievable through many routes. 
gpt
*eyes widen* I guess that depends who you speak to.  I know the Democratic Party backs a socially liberal platform preferring to spend money on social programs.
human
At one point, Ronald Reagan actively campaigned for Democrats and railed against high corporate profits and low wages. He probably liked social programs then. 
gpt
Democrats or Republicans, did you know there hasn't been a President from another party since 1853?
human
*calm eyes* I'm not surprised. The funding and backing are too important to success. I know that one guy is trying this time as an independent. I don't think he'll do it though. Too hard.
gpt
I agree, just not the support needed to elect an Independent. I have a feeling it will be the "red and blue" of the Republican and Democratic Parties for quite some time.

People like simple systems. and it's easy to decide with just two. You are on my team, or the other team. My team won or lost. Good vs. Evil. Right vs. Wrong. Simple narratives are easy to sell. Still, 15% of the tea party movement identify themselves as Democrats. There is some nuance.
gpt
I'm surprised that the Democratic percentage of the Tea Party is that high.  I had no idea.  They seem to have slightly more traction than some of the other paties like the Farmer-Labor Party n Minnesota and the Nonpartisan League in North Dakota.
human
I think people are frustrated with the system. They want change, and they need to be part of a movement for that.
gpt
Seems like there is a movement nowadays for just about everything. I wonder if there is a movement in Canada to back off on the law requiring at least 40% of the music played on their stations to be Canadian.

The gov't wants to preserve a market for home-grown talent. There is something similar in France. The US talent is just so dominant.
gpt
That makes sense.  In 1995 a radio station actually prank called Queen Elizabeth by pretending to be the Canadian Prime Minister.
human
Jean Chretien? Yes, he had a strong accent. The Queen probably couldn't recognize the real one. 
gpt
I'm surprised she would even answer her own phone.  I would think that she would have someone do that for her.  
human
Well, the pranksters probably faked their way through the Palace switchboard and got to the Queen. Boy, those Canadians! They're scamps!
gpt
Ha!  Something I heard recently that I was not aware of was that the prime minister in Japan sends every citizen that turns 100 a silver cup.
human
I think they will have to rethink that system. Far too many old people in Japan. The gov't will go bankrupt.
gpt
For sure.  They needed to find a way to make cheaper cups.  Well, it's been nice chatting with you.
human
*laughs* It's been great chatting!
gpt
*relaxed posture* Take care.
human
*body relaxes* You too.

this report is crazy.  the reporters are so confrontational.
