Trump has done nothing to deserve respect, IMHO. He stirs up fear and hatred, treats women as sex objects and only tells the truth twice a day.(Maybe this was posted in the wrong thread, though)Can we please change the name of this thread to something more respectful, regardless of the content inside? Otherwise, in the interest of fairness, the Democratic Party thread should also be renamed something snarky and critical.
Would "Convicted felon, sexual assaulter, and fraudster watch" be more respectful? He may not fit the legal definition of treason (as far as we know, anyway; at the least, he hasn't been formally tried), but all of those are true.
One bright spot in the gloom following the election was the guy on Reddit who was shocked that after months of his wife saying she would divorce him over his rabid Trump support, she actually served him with divorce papers.
He literally admitted that she'd been warning him about this for months, but he still claimed that this "came out of nowhere", because he didn't take her threats seriously.
All those people who hate DEI suddenly become super-supportive of it when the subject is white-supremacists who want to speak at top universities.
On that subject, they suddenly spout lines about the importance of DIVERSITY of opinions and the dangers of not INCLUDING everyone.
Call me crazy, but maybe "diversity of opinion" should not be used to justify the promotion of a guy who wants to end diversity.
Yes, Trump supporters were lied to, but they also consciously chose the lie.
On some level, they know it might be a lie. When people warn others not to look at any other media because nothing can be trusted outside the bubble, that's a sign of weakness. When people think that all news from outside the bubble (even from countries thousands of miles away) is part of some sort of evil cabal against your one truth, that's a sign of weakness. They're afraid to read news from outside the bubble.
They know on some level that it might be a lie, and they don't care. They choose the lie, because it makes them happy.
Stop condescendingly thinking that they were just duped. They chose this.
I'm a cis-gender English guy sitting halfway around the world from most users here, and I don't want them here either. I absolutely do not want people of any minority group to feel threatened or unsafe while using this forum.Trump doesn't deserve respect what a ridiculous argument. I don't want more participation from MAGAts.
As a trans person my life is actively in danger from this upcoming administration.
To whomever changed the title: thank you.
I voted based on what was best for my family. I can’t afford to take into account issues that don’t directly impact us. I did way too much of that in the past.
If you want to send threatening messages to me (as several have done this afternoon) or wish death upon me based on my choices, so be it. I’ve never spoken out against any of you or your choices and I never will.
To whomever changed the title: booo.
