Politics What if it turns out the other side was right?

Typical

FIFY

I'm fine, he's the one who couldn't remove emotion from his posts.
He's the one who again told me to shut up when he can't refute a point. Hell I wasn't even talking to him in that specific post.
I was talking to @barfo

 

See.....here's the difference. This Trump administration, and more specifically Trump himself, cannot, IMO, be compared to anything that we've ever seen. This is a unique situation and should be judged/reacted to in kind. I voted for W both terms. I didn't like a lot of things he did. I felt he was embarrassing yet I still voted for him after his first term. The level of embarrassment and shame Trump has inflicted upon our country is nothing close to anything we've ever endured or seen. Sure, there are always "sides," but it sure feels like, this time, there is only one side that makes any sense whatsoever.

I'm registered independent. Used to be registered republican. I'm no lib. I really dislike Hillary. It's just.....a uniquely terrible situation (Trump) requires more vitriol and action. It will all come to light. He's a con artist at best, a traitorous Russian asset at worst. Not one shred of him gives a shit what happens to America or American's. Not. One. Shred.

That matters to me. It should matter to all of us.

 

This was not an attack. This was clearly calling out both republicans and democrats a like.

 

Those dudes said that because he was black. Seriously.

Obama was revered overseas. The most people ever voted for him. Ever.

No, my white friends, you were not "embarrassed" by Obama...

 

That's fine, but sir you're missing the point a little bit.

If you say. 'Trump is the most embarrassing president of all time.'
Someone will inevitably respond with. 'No Obama was'.

People who use this rhetoric are part of the problem.

I actually agree Trump is pretty embarrassing. Possibly of all time.(Even tho I wasn't alive for all the presidents..)
However if there is any hope for things to 'get better' in this country.
Then rhetoric like this needs to stop. As it just further divides the country.

 

I disagree.
Some people yes believe it's because he's black.

However there are some like my mother who are just bigots.
Can use the Marc Cuban example as proof.

Hell several years ago I was walking on the sidewalk with my mother in the dark.
She said, 'H.C. I think there is a drug deal going down over there.'
On the way back we saw the cars pulling out of Washington County fair grounds... Turned out to be two police cars.
I said, 'Donut deal'.

It's been a running joke ever since and has made her more comfortable in similar situations and people who aren't like her.
However my mother is one of the people who believes Obama due to his 'apology tour' was the most embarrassing president.
I call her out when she says shit like that, not because I believe shes racist. But because I believe shes a bigot.

 

Basically what I try to say with words on here but done better

 

You have a point there. I've often considered taming the rhetoric here and on Twitter but now is not the time. I respect your stance though and I'd love nothing more than more unity. We just will NOT find it under this administration under any circumstance and the orange fool needs to go. Only then will we heal. I mean, he is solely responsible for the division. For this LEVEL of division. His tweets, his words, his bullshit. He is making HIS people MORE tribal. I don't see any possible way that someone like me, who resists everything about him, can make any difference right now trying to be unifying. It simply will not work.

I've often thought what it would be like if Pence took over. On one hand, he could be more dangerous because as a politician he knows how to get stuff done. But I also believe he'd honor the position of President which would at least get me to listen (even if I don't agree).

Trump? I don't even listen. He's so far gone, so far deranged, and so far into his own self interests, he's not allowed my respect or understanding.

 

Because I'm ignoring you like what was asked.
You know instead of calling someone a clown that is an option.

 

I don't even know who or what you're talking about. That is the power of the ignore feature.
I sleep well and have no impinging ulcers. God Bless the ignore feature.

 

I had to post this as I am literally laughing my ass off.

 

I can't disagree with you.
