I wouldn't call it that. I was just using your words.

-You'll have to find a new strategy to try to ignore the horrible shht Trump and republicans plan for the future of America

What's wrong with my current strategy?

101

That sounds like something I would say.

Lisa from Arkansas? Or Missouri?

-I for one am sick and tired of hearing and thinking about -------, but he is shoved in my face on a daily basis.

No, you're not.

when you unplug from this place......then you'll be sick and tired.

You're sick of tired of anything yet.

You still have some tantrum left in you.

-If you weren't trying to look cool in front of the Deplorable Trumping MAGAts.

I'm not trying to do that. I'm a fence sitter. A humble fence sitter.

This is about spoiled rotten brats who are not responsible for their own success or happiness. Instead, they require the world to deliver it to them.

You didn't get what you think you're entitled to. You were owed a harris victory.

Owed.

and you didn't get what you wanted.

I wanted Harris to win as well.....but the reason why I'm not as angry as you are is because I'm not owed that happiness.

I'm not owed what I think is best for this country.

I lost

You lost

----------- lost

Yes. Many posters who were very active here leading up to the election are all but gone now.

-Perhaps if you weren't so unconcerned with what the future holds, you would too.

I have 3 kids...2 daughters who graduate in May (1 law school and the other engineering) and a son who's a junior in high school.

The future is of great concern to me.

Apparently the shoe fits.

well that just means dollars to donuts that Clownshack agrees with -----------

-Higher thread counts are good for business.

he wouldn't allow misinformation on global warming or COVID.....that's some evidence that thread counts aren't everything to him.

Or we can find out if there really are no limits to this...........LOL

-Dollars to Donuts, RCade agrees with TruthHurts

I agree completely.

But he's always had at least some moderation policies in effect here.

Not much lately but nobody has ever been allowed to go around calling everyone a ------- ----.

The cool kids table might not allow someone to sit there who runs a site that allows that.

-I'll calm down the second you and your magat scum bretheren crawl on their hands and knees and kiss my ass you ------- piece of ----.

why would anybody do that?

what power, authority, or wisdom do you think you have that anybody would crawl anywhere to receive?

I know you're pissed but you're ------ delusional.

-I'll calm down the second you and your magat scum bretheren crawl on their hands and knees and kiss my ass you ------- piece of ----.

I know you're pissed but you're ------ delusional.

I thought the bossman would have silenced ----------- by now.

sooner or later.......

"Americans don't fully appreciate the structural limitations of the presidency and therefore have unrealistic expectations of Trump's ability to bring about significant change."

I think we have a lot of people who believe both houses of congress and the SCOTUS will simply get out of Trump's way and let him be a complete dictator.

In your entire lifetime...when has a vote for a republican NOT meant voting for those things to happen you listed?

Republicans have been accused of voting against their own interests since at least Reagan. Maybe since Civil Rights.

-Corky used the word anti-intellectual, which is something altogether different.

Not to the person you're directing that insult to.

And it IS an insult. Corky means it that way and it means "you're ------ stupid".

It's not something altogether different to the typical Trump supporter. It's the same thing....maybe that's a good example of what makes them an "anti-intellectual". LOL

And that's fine....I'm not complaining.

"I support Public Financing of Election for all recipients,"

Hard to believe.

If you truly wanted that then you wouldn't be attempting to make these absurd distinctions.

But here we are ... ... .where you still take a side with this "but but but but ... .THIS is different" crap

Again, makes it hard to believe you truly want public financing.

"rwing billionaires wrote a much larger total amount..."

You're making a distinction between someone giving $50 million vs $80 million?

Please. Stop pretending you care about huge money pouring from billionaires

It doesn't matter to you.

All you care about is the recipient

-It is a win for the Oligarchs..

There were more billionaires writing seven and eight figure checks for Harris than did for Trump.

Are you willing to say that it was a win for the oligarchs had Harris won?

"expect more of this"

at public universities in states like Maryland? I hope not.

Not that it matters, but if this had happened at a Christian school in Oklahoma, this thread would be 200 posts.

Very fair question.

My honest answer is this......I have no idea. It baffles me just as much as it baffles you how Trump could get this much trust.

-There's a GOP pundit on NBC News saying that unlike Harris, Trump proved himself to be authentic.

That pundit doesn't have the answer either. Just making ---- up.....

Years from now we'll still be discussing how it was possible for someone who clearly didn't do anything to earn anybody's trust...still received that much trust.

-explain to me the logic of voting for someone who will deport their family members.

they don't like them?

I can think of some family members I would have gladly deported if it were possible.........

"The Democrats could come up with the best messaging for working people ever and would still get portrayed as snooty college-educated elites on Fox News, Sinclair TV stations, manosphere podcasts and the rest of the right-wing media bubble that most Americans live in."

Trust

It's about Trust

People are giving their trust to Trump (and other republicans considering the GOP picked up seats everywhere)

Trust can be earned but that's not what's so significant about Trust.

What's most significant is that Trust is given

exactly..

think this.....

-He betrayed us. And the vast majority of the American people think that's OK

I am not convinced the vast majority of the American people connect Trump to J6.

call it ignorance
call it denial (both apply IMO)
call it whatever you want......but I don't think people believe it's "okay" but rather they remove Trump from it so they can avoid admitting it's okay.

my 2 cents....
