Politics Discussion

As I had mentioned in the other thread I had to spend a week in Texas helping my mother out with a surgery she had. I couldn't wait to come back to a non-red state. If I had to look at the orange baffoons face any longer in the house I think I would have gone mad. I learned a lot about my biological mother and I have a different perspective now, it is much stronger that we need to vote out these right winged people and get more Democrats in. I'm utterly shocked and repulsed by a few things she said to me. If this is any indication of how most Republicans are now, well the US is fucked beyond all hope

At my part time job, there are some MAGA people working there. They all know where I stand politically and for the most part, we all agreed not to discuss politics at work. But there are a couple of assholes who work there who love to come at me with some really stupid statements. When they do, I tell them that Trump is far away the worst and most dangerous president this country has ever had, but they think quite the opposite. It’s hard for me to fathom that halfway intelligent people could not see the charlatan and fucked up liar he is. I feel your pain Chac.

Lemmings Mike, they will fall off the cliff following the person in front of them. This is why he likes uneducated people, they take him at his worthless word.

Don't know if you ever played that game on the computer before......

I’ve heard of the expression “lemmings”, but didn’t realize there was a computer game. Very relatable as is the parable of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” or the story of “The Pied Piper” or the real David Koresh or Jim Jones or…. Adolph Hitler.

I sure am curious how historians will describe the “Trump era” and the unfortunate long term harm that he will do to America’s reputation and effectiveness as a world power. Shameful is the word that comes to mind, as well as very, very sad.

I grew up in the 60’s and people protested the Viet Nam war and racial injustice on a daily basis. I went to UC Berkeley where the practice of protesting was well known. I’ve seen some protesting on immigration but nothing on a large scale against what the government is doing. Until then, nothing will change. I fear we’ve grown complacent which is dangerous. Where are the people when we need them?

You are 100% correct Rockstar. We can’t be complacent and need to be mobilized and march and protest on a regular basis. This is not America.
