Amen to that. Interesting, most of that was said over drinks with our Atheist group Friday night. We are not only terrified; we are sick and tired of trying to accept and understand those who have no use for us except to try to change us.
In regards to Clinton, I can point out as to why she lost a state like Wisconsin which hadn't gone red since Reagan. She never once visited the state during the campaign, while Trump visited six times. I guess voters here thought she didn't care for them and she in turn thought Wisconsin was in the bag. Whereas they were duped into thinking Trump cared for them. I guess it's better to think someone gives a crap about you than not at all.
Obviously. That's how he distracts the news media from the more important stories that require reading something longer than a tweet.
I'm really, really hoping that his tweets just become an eye-roll that make him look like the petulant emotional 8-year-old he is, and are given no more attention than that. And that the press (and Congressional Democrats) keep their eyes on the corruption. Because there will be corruption and conflicts of interest. Hell, there already has been.
Our friend posted on Facebook: "The candidate who was going to defeat Isis is currently at war with Saturday Night Live and a Broadway musical." I am also done with kowtow-ing to people who can't handle anything beyond their own world view. The research about how people respond to facts, the last eight years of President Obama trying to be thoughtful and deferential. It has accomplished nothing, and seems to be part of the same vein as, "a lie can travel the world in the time it takes the truth to put its pants on." The "Bargaining" answer is that IF people were more X it would change minds. Eight years ago, I would have thought differently. But I'm tired of people expecting others to respond rationally. For a group that complains so much about the wienification of America they are showing themselves to be terribly thin skinned.
Just like a typical bully. Loves to dish it out, but can't take it. Typical of what I see from the Republican Party too. This and the inability to laugh at themselves.
That was my downfall. I spent to much time listening to my friends and family and not enough time *knowing my enemy.* If I had believed for an instant that this travesty could happen; I would not be in this daunting mental state now.
I'm sure this isn't some grand strategy. He's not that smart. And he is that thin-skinned. Not that it matter that much in the end.
I don't. But I don't even know [insert famous TV actor/actress here] who is the star of [insert famous TV show here, which I also have probably never heard of]. She's one of those behind-the-scenes Hollywood types, according to 30 seconds of exhaustive Bing-ing. IIRC, she originally posted that as a text Facebook post, it was shared far and wide, and the video is her reading it.
I used to think that, but he's gotten too consistent about it now, and the results speak for themselves. If he doesn't know what he's doing, then there's someone else on the payroll that does.
