1. The left wing agenda is really a corporate agenda. Why else would so many massive corporations and billionaires support it? Government equals wealth and control for those who are connected.
2. Positive thinking is not about ignoring the bad but rather allowing in the good. Bad things will happen whether we want them to or not, but there is absolutely nothing necessary about taking risks based on the hope for something better. Most people, in fact, never do, and leave life with all the bad that was coming anyway, but none of the possible good that required belief.
