And out come the concern trolls. Go fuck yourself twice, buddy:

Like Louisiana?

To paraphrase GW Bush’s thoughts on being considered a shitty president in the future: It’ll all happen after they’re dead, so they don’t care.

Ahem. You mad bro?

I’m partial to “bootlicker” - it has the same connotation, has the hard ‘b’ consonant sound for maximum scorn, and it is evocative of the actual act of subservience.

They sure haven’t. And they still can’t tell the difference between us.

Right? “It ain’t Donald’s policies that tanked the economy, it was those people buying lobster and iphones with my tax dollars!”

My partner loves dealing with them. I’d think it would be a PITA, but it seems to amuse him. Great stories though.

Oh, they have plenty to fear from the Trump Administration.   The President himself is only one person in an administration, not the entirety of it (which seems to confuse far too many Americans...).

Ah, your foolishness and uncritical bootlicking is similarly entertaining. “Why he said he’d prosecute! But then he said he wouldn’t. Why won’t you butthurt liberals just believe the last one, or which ever one makes him (and by extension, me) right! It’s not like he’s ever changed his mind! Or told people what they…

True. Unfortunately, generalizations - not “all” or “none”, but “most” and “few” - are necessary in limited scope Internet discussions. And as a non-white minority who grew up poor on an army base in BFE Kansas surrounde by predominately rural poor whites , it matches my experience, so I’m biased towards that…

They were given an alternative; they declined to listen to it. Providing economic incentives for education and training, as well as investing in emerging industries America can actual provide decent jobs in, is probably the most sensible plan available (which was, and still is, the Democratic Party’s plan); more so…

But here’s the thing: They do.

No and Yes. Yes, it’s about the economy, and always has been, but the blame for, or the distraction from, economic failure is all about race.

1+1 is 3 because Trump says it be. Amen.

OK, I’ll bite: what do you expect to rise from the ashes?

And there is the problem.

While I only sorta agree with your ‘policies don’t matter’ conclusion, the Democratic Party would do well to find a more ‘relatable’ candidate next time. If the electorate can’t relate with a candidate, then their policies have zero chance to resonate with them.

Confronting ideas is important, true; however, kids who are indebting themselves to a college have a right* to say “hey, I don’t want you spending my tuition money to spread this message”.

...except for every other race on the ballot in the states Trump won, it was straight incumbents, a return of the establishment to power.
