Although, Trump probably does hate puppies lol
what you don't seem to get is that, for many people, real living human beings, many of these things are incredibly serious. do they effect me directly? as a canadian, obviously not, but even if i was an american, a lot of this wouldn't apply to me directly. but it DOES apply to a lot of people, especially women and POC. and i don't want to live in a world where it's ok to discriminate against anybody, especially not only accepted by the government, but fucking encouraged.
no one is saying the sky is falling. but there's real reason for concern here. just because you don't give a shit doesn't mean it isn't happening.

I'm a bit confused. A few pages I thought we agreed that the future is grim and the damages to date are irreversible. I thought we also agreed about the futility of any efforts to change that future, yourself admitting that you've given up on trying to make changes to this broken system.
With the above being said (and ironically with your agreement that the world is ending), why do you feel the right to mock people's efforts to try to learn and/or engage about the current climate? Do you consider that productive or do you simply possess nihilistic tendencies and you're just passing time? I personally don't feel credible to advise one way or another, because I'm not mentally spending energy on fixing anymore and feel I've waived that right. I'm curious why you do.

This is the thing... you've seen efforts to learn or engage since November 2016? And I'm not talking about people here at all, I'm talking about in general? Do we see efforts to learn and engage from either major party? Any major news network? Social media? How would you generalize the level of conversation and discourse, by both sides? Thats my whole point, there is no conversation, its all yelling. Its all tribal. Its all toxic. Both sides, whether we like it or not. Now Democrats/progressives openly stereotype and demonize "the other side" without batting an eye. Just read any thread here, its pure toxuc sludge pouring out. Morons. Piece of shit. Scum. Idiots. Racists. Deplorables. Evil. Nazis. And we're supposed to be the good guys??? This also includes me, i readily admit it, i did and still do the same thing. But i feel like i realized the error of our ways recently and how we had become what we hate. We had become judgemental, harsh, dismissive, rude, mean, combative, and far too angry to engage rationally.
I have a lot of respect for the posters here, on all sides, and there are some VERY bright people. This is why i still post here, been around a while, and plan on being here a while.
As a fairly staunch progressive i think I've decided the healthiest thing to do is to challenge other progressives, engage with independents/moderates, and listen to conservatives to find common ground.
Pecan? I can’t do it. I’ll have to resist sans ice cream.

My point had nothing to do with W, or Trump... my point was Roberts shocked the right & left when he decided the Obamacare case... you know what happens when you assume? the right said we were sliding to socialism, fascism, whateverism when all that went down... my point is simple, win elections and you nominate judges... they are intelligent and well educated judges, not evil monsters... now I'm supposed to start demonizing them just because i see the world differently and may disagree on issues?
The demonization of "the other side" by BOTH sides is flat out fucking ridiculous at this point. Nazis, facism, totalitarianism, blah, blah, blah... just stop, it's ridiculous, and we sound like the GOP and tea party in the Obama years screaming about nonsense and death panels
The sky is not falling
You giving a scotus nominee and eventual judge too much benefit of the doubt. They all aren’t the best in the field. I strongly believe Kavanaugh lied under oath re: input on warrantless surveillance and appointment of a hardline judge. I also believe he is there as a political appointee, and trump thinks he will rule he’s above the law when the Mueller poop goes down. This isn’t anything about the sky is falling and we’re doomed.

Oh well. I obviously disagree with you, and think it's simply naive to think such concerns are ridiculous - kind of like an "it will never happen to ME" attitude IMO - and I feel that you are ignoring a lot of what's actually happening in reality because maybe it makes you feel more comfortable?? I'm not sure. But I am very comfortable with my level of dismay about Trump's fascist, racist, sexist tendencies as well as all his other backwards steps as POTUS, and I'm sure everyone else who feels that way is too. I feel like you're basically saying that untrue things and true things are equal here. So no point in discussing it with you anymore. I'm on a completely different page altogether.

Old McDonald never really thought that one out I'm figuring.
Some one should do an analysis of who bought Team Trump Treason property in the US, where they came from and whether they had children and if so, how many? Team Trump Treason profits from anchor babies but only from the “right” countries.
Trump's saying he wants to send 15,000 troops to the Mexico border, more troops than are in Afghanistan. What a fucking POS. Sending 15,000 troops to face a big group of families with little kids. Mind boggling.

more troops = more fear = more republican votes
Yup. Fucking scumbag. And I worry that if he actually ends up doing anything close to something like this for real, it could end in tragedy.

this is what I'm envisioning, unfortunately. desperate people storming the gates. or one, just one, trigger happy military personnel shooting someone, starting a riot, ending in multiple fatalities.
I don't see how this is going to end peacefully and without bloodshed at all.

I bet he doesn’t do it. This sounds like some pre-midterm bluster. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking, though.

Maybe it replaces Team Trump Treason's military parade? Team Trump Treason can go down to a "war zone," look tough in his leather bomber jacket, inspect the troops, say a bunch of stupid things and go back to DC thinking he actually accomplished something.
