can’t eat an elephant in one bite, right

Reminder: There have been more hate crimes since the election that jobs saved.

Well, HE literally won’t. That seems to be their defense for everything, Literal Donald Trump didn’t do it himself. Rise in swastika graffiti? Did Donald Trump himself sneak out in the middle of the night in his Christmas Carol night cap and gown and tag the wall? No! Then it’s not his fault! Of course, because Hitler…

I think you have the false assumption that a lot of them will ever know that only half the jobs will be saved, or that Cheeto Benito stands to profit off this. I’m sure a lot of them will only hear him say he saved 1,000 jobs.

If a Democrat did this, it would be the most naked corruption since Duke Cunningham or ABSCAM.

Going to check that out thanks. Where I live people hate their situations so much that they are always misconstruing words as “fighting words.” It leads to no end of trouble. It’s as though they want to bicker over nothing. Have been desperate for a solution.

I’m only this gung-ho on the Internet. in real life I struggle to read things I need to read to better understand our situation, when I’d rather escape from everything by watching seasons of Sons of Anarchy.

The woman I was speaking of has come a long way. Today at lunch she admitted that she believed a lot of the fake news that had been put out there.

This summarizes politics.

I was talking to my office-mate a lifelong republican who voted for HC (who is old enough to be my mother). Prior to the election I asked her “what ideas of the Republican Party do you identify with?” and aside from 2nd amendment issues and the idea of lower taxes...she had ZERO idea. And eventually said “well…

Thanks for the suggestions!

On the contrary for me. I like it now that other people can not hide behind the type of illusions anymore.

I have already cut this out of my New Yorker and put it on my fridge!

yes. some people will always be unsaveable. but I do not, and refuse to, believe the majority of people are.

My aim was the pundits. I agree doing this a person (and not a pundit on tv) would not work. Will people parrot the pundits if they pundits are strongly rebuked on tv? People parrot that behavior when they think it works. If it doesn’t work on the talking box, will people do it in real life?

Keep fighting the good fight.

Nope, they are not the deciders, just the mouthpieces.

Thank you for this book recommendation. I think we need to try to value other people even if they hold some views different from ours. Now, there are some people who are just too toxic to be around...but then I never said I was a good person.

Unfortunately the people we’re up against are smart too. At least the ones who are on top and capable of taking advantage of the ignorant masses. From anecdotal stories I see every day, I don’t know if its even possible to reverse the downward spiral this country is in. People are refusing to listen to their loved…

I know he isn’t popular in these parts but I think Trevor Noah just did a really good segment on basically how to deal with this - especially at the end of this segment. you have to talk to these people like toddlers. not in a mean way - but in a “explain yourself” way. don’t argue, just question them into oblivion. I…
