I can understand why you’d double-down on your statement after coming out of the gate so obviously heated and emotional, but everything Trump has said and done signals that he is just as bad on women’s and LGBTQ rights. Under either one we’ll get a hardline Conservative Supreme Court justice. Either one would support…

Sorry, replying to a LOT of comments right now. Didn’t mean to make my same point twice. Glad we agree. :)

You mean the guy who said women who have abortions should be punished? The guy who shifted his position to support North Carolina’s anti-LGBTQ bill?

Yeah, that’s what I was saying.

What makes you think Trump feels any different about those topics?

Read the whole thread. I stated I was being intentionally hyperbolic and then explained how my post was intended to be a statement about Trump and his unhinged reactionary behavior.

To be clear, my genuine level of concern about being destroyed in a nuclear strike by North Korea is incredibly low. My initial post was intended to be a statement about Trump and how his unhinged reactionary behavior could, and likely will, have serious negative consequences for us.

Please show me where I said I was scared of North Korea. I looked and I looked but I couldn’t find it.

You think economic inequality grew under the Democrats?

I’m not convinced that Kim Jong-un cares if they’ll be destroyed in retaliation, and I live in LA so you know...it’s a legitimate concern.

I said I was scared of North Korea?

I said I was afraid of North Korea?

It’s not about them being a match. Even just one nuclear weapon set off is a big deal.

That’s helpful, thanks.

I’m not saying Pence is a great choice, I just believe he’s a safer alternative because he’s not a completely unhinged serial narcissist.

A lot can change in a few years. Their nuclear weapons program way not be a credible threat to the US at the moment but this technology has been around for decades now, they’ll perfect it eventually.

Again, I fully agree. There’s no denying the role the internet has had in shaping those perceptions, often doing more harm than good. I believe Liberals have hurt themselves greatly by bringing academic topics into mainstream conversation. Most people without college educations aren’t going to take the time to…

I was being intentionally hyperbolic. My real point was that while Pence has some views that are more extreme than Trump I would feel much safer and more confidence under him than Trump. Trump is too unhinged and unpredictable.

I agree with everything you said in this post, I’m just not clear on how that translates to your initial post.

Sure, but you said, “liberalism means getting to use your preferred pronouns and arguing over who has the least amount of privilege”. Clearly you think they’re being taken seriously or it wouldn’t have shaped your view (and implied societal view) of what progressive liberalism has become.
