NPR Link I expect many people will go to their graves saying "Trump was a real American, he could have saved us if not for those darned liberals, blah blah blah." But many people have expressed embarrassment about Trump, on social media and via poll, before Charlottesville and after. And now Julius Krein says this. Is this a sign of things to come, or just a splash in the pond?
Honnestly, at each elections, I saw many people disappointed by the new president. Sometimes for good reasons, sometimes, but most of the time I wonder if they just interest themselves really to the candidate they voted for.
I don't follow that last bit. I think the most idiotic reason I've ever heard for being disappointed by a president was "I'm voting Republican this time because Obama didn't solve racism."
What was wrong with Charlottesville? He condemned them all by name? You are believing media lies like he said you were the other night.
Gee, you should play Bingo. Dogma is a rabid chained dog, viciously attacking contradictory facts that get too close to personal belief. In fact contradictory facts have a backfire effect, where they only make the rabid dog even more bloodthirsty -- up to a point. But there is a point where the dog finally accepts its vaccine and lets reality in to modify belief, and Julius Krein's clearly has. How many facts does it take to cure hold-your-nose Trump supporters? How many facts will it take to cure his most devoted marks?
So what lesh? You had radical communists on one side and neonazis on the other side. With some good people mixed in on both sides. Communists are NOT morally superior to Nazis. Both contemptible groups.
Radical communists? Hardly. There was opposition to those Nazis and KKK..and that morally superior There are no "good people" marching with Nazis chanting Anti-Semitic slogans
People continued to support Nixon, as he resigned and afterwards. I don't expect things to be different with Trump, but those are hard-core supporters and small in numbers.
Uh, they have their "alternative facts"...you know, LIES....they hate facts...Trump could stand naked on the White House lawn and shoot tourists and they'd drool after him and say it was all the media's fault..
https://t.co/Cy5Y8qEVWT?amp=1 So as we can read, the court found that there was bias but somehow, running in the DNC primary doesn't mean that you expect them to be unbiased. This sets a great precedent for future democratic primaries, the people voting in them shouldn't expect them to be fair. Do you regret wasting your vote on Bernie?
Trump was to some extent an aberration. It only requires a small percentage of his supporters return to sanity to hopelessly erode his viability. What I worry about most is how far he will be willing to go to remain in power. Start a war? Attack NK, possibly with nukes? Declare Martial Law? I truly wouldn't put anything past him. Donald Trump is the most dangerous sob on the planet, which is why he wanted power. We may all be lucky to survive his time in office. We have an extreme narcissist, possibly a psychopath or otherwise mentally ill person, certainly a megalomaniac, in charge of the world's most powerful military. And the republicans are just now starting to figure that out. Contrary to popular belief, Trump can start a nuclear war all by himself. And it only takes a few minutes.
I don't regret my vote one bit. But then again I voted against both Trump and Clinton by voting third party. Me sentiments were that neither candidate belonged within a million miles of the Oval Office. That regardless of who won would leave this country in far worst shape than when whomever of the two entered the office of the presidency. Today, knowing what I know, I'd vote third party again. If the Democrats had offered a decent candidate instead of Clinton, I would have voted Democratic. They didn't. They offered a candidate disliked as much as Trump by America as a whole. I detested both major parties last November and I still do. The fact is we have a president Trump today because of the choices and decisions made by both major parties and their members, their dedicated supporters who came up with these very substandard choices. Now we live with the choices both major parties made. Both parties should take responsibility for their choices and decisions made last year.
