Those "mobs" are the people. I don't condone violence or people doing stupid shit. I do believe in people protesting for what they believe in. The preamble of the constitution begins, We the people, not we the government. In Trumps speech, he said, "Republicans believe in the rule of the law, not the rule of the mob(people)" He forgets this country is of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Why can't white women be traitors? Equal opportunity... What about the tea party? That was a dumb mob movement if ever there was one. barfo
Yeah, but for a decade I worked in industry in the NW and DC. Amazon corporate is an extremely liberal organization. But that's one of the reasons I step outside the uniform a bunch, whether it's in church outings, within business circles, reading a bunch of topics (I mean, the article highlighted in NBC--I know better than to roll in here with a Breitbart article). But I agree that one generally has to be proactive about getting out of it. Similar to the interview question "Which browser do you use, and why?" The answer "X, because it came with the computer" is generally frowned upon. Almost anything else, with logical reasoning, was good because it showed you went above-and-beyond to get something that was better for you for some (might even be really weird) reason. That's why I posted the article here...I wouldn't have expected what I read in the NBC article, and this OT group is pretty heaving liberal-leaning, so I didn't know if it's now commonly accepted that "Trump is winning". Looks anecdotally like it's "not really, he got the easy wins." At least here. [/QUOTE]
This is what you posted: "do you think this will cause anyone who voted for him to not vote for him or his endorsed candidates?" Thus my comment regarding voting for Trump.
[/QUOTE] The angry emotion was used to great effect by the Republicans and the Tea Party. It has continued with Trump and his supporters.
Trump has been keeping to his campaign promises more so than any President in the past 80 years. Perhaps longer. I expect most voters inform enough with the system do appreciate this welcome reality. Younger voter do take longer to notice due to the shorter span of their memory, which is not helped at all by their mentors in the public school system.
[/QUOTE] Is Trump winning? I think he is certainly winning more now than he was a few months back. Will that translate to more votes, my intuition says no, but I don't really understand why you and so many people are so willing to accept a president that makes a mockery of decency. So I guess I just don't know.
I am much in line with your thinking. The Dems have done the GOP a favor. I believe he carries more votes IF he continues at the same pace. If he gets Congress to work with him on the wall...my, my
I think perhaps we need to revise the old Ben Franklin quote to apply to our current administration. "Those who would give up essential Humanity, to purchase a little temporary Prosperity, deserve neither Humanity nor Prosperity."
I do enjoy a good quote. Currently reading a book on WW1, there was a quote by Churchill about the Sec of War :Weak minded, like a feather pillow, retains the impression of the last person to sit on him." Also fitting for today
