    I guess you have a lot more faith in the system. And hopefully everything he is doing is bullshit and it doesn't affect the country in any meaningful way. 

    I hope you are right. I am just more pessimistic about this.


    But yes, thats what I gather from your stance. You believe people here are handwringing (and you would be right) and you think there is nothing to handwring about. 
     

    I believe our system will prevail as always. Is that so hard to understand. By all means be pessimistic, thats your choice, along with the rest of the A Moving Trainwreck posse. Fear yourselves to death for all I care. And I will continue try to remind you all that America will always prevail through checks and balances. Now go back to the regularly scheduled mean orange bad guy coup rhetoric. 
    I agree it will prevail and don’t subscribe to it being “the end of the republic”, but I do believe aspects of our society will be fundamentally changed and things will be worse than they have been for many Americans. I think that’s the palpable fear people here are sensing and posting about and they have every right to be worried. 

    I agree that aspects will be fundamentally different, at least for the next 4 years. That’s extremely unfortunate, but again, I believe America will overcome. As always. Again, the select few Trainwreckers are posting well beyond “palpable fear”, in my humble opinion. But happy to see we ultimately agree on something and happy to see at least one other person around here believes in our checks and balances. 

    GO 🦅 BIRDS


    Battle banned now? What the heck. Liberals here get away with not only talking about others, but mocking those who don’t agree. Support the right, you’re getting banned? Support the left, get away with a lot.
    Dude is a liberal. There goes THAT narrative.

    People (myself included) assumed he was a maga at first because of how he talked about hating the left. He’s a democrat who hates the extremes of both sides. But he wrongly assumes the liberals here are all far left. He also seems to despise, or at least find irrelevance, in everything non-american.

    I guess you have a lot more faith in the system. And hopefully everything he is doing is bullshit and it doesn't affect the country in any meaningful way. 

    I hope you are right. I am just more pessimistic about this.


    But yes, thats what I gather from your stance. You believe people here are handwringing (and you would be right) and you think there is nothing to handwring about. 
     

    I believe our system will prevail as always. Is that so hard to understand. By all means be pessimistic, thats your choice, along with the rest of the A Moving Trainwreck posse. Fear yourselves to death for all I care. And I will continue try to remind you all that America will always prevail through checks and balances. Now go back to the regularly scheduled mean orange bad guy coup rhetoric. 
    I agree it will prevail and don’t subscribe to it being “the end of the republic”, but I do believe aspects of our society will be fundamentally changed and things will be worse than they have been for many Americans. I think that’s the palpable fear people here are sensing and posting about and they have every right to be worried. 

    I agree that aspects will be fundamentally different, at least for the next 4 years. That’s extremely unfortunate, but again, I believe America will overcome. As always. Again, the select few Trainwreckers are posting well beyond “palpable fear”, in my humble opinion. But happy to see we ultimately agree on something and happy to see at least one other person around here believes in our checks and balances. 

    GO 🦅 BIRDS


    Battle banned now? What the heck. Liberals here get away with not only talking about others, but mocking those who don’t agree. Support the right, you’re getting banned? Support the left, get away with a lot.
    uh...pay attention, he isn't a trumpster. Follow the rules or take a time out. Pretty clear.


    Ironic comment my friend. How did that party turn out?
