@Dan_Ramos yes! I have not been a fan or supporter of Trump, but I feel like his political opponents are intent on making me a supporter of his.
@SecondJon @Dan_Ramos I read this whole thread and can only think “pffft... damn stupid Americans”.
@realmattseymour @SecondJon @Dan_Ramos one of the best decisions I ever made was moving out of the US. It makes me sad to say, because I love the concept and ideal of the US.
I just didn't see it happening. I saw far more people taking advantage of their fellow citizens and I decided to leave. I'm happier and healthier where I've ended up, not that there is any less political nonsense here. AT least it's one I've chosen and not been born into.
@Surasanji @SecondJon @Dan_Ramos I just read something on fb about trump, written by a Brit, explaining why we tend to hate the man but also why it’s so confusing and baffling that anyone in the US would support him. Can’t copy and paste so I’ll post a screenshot. Suffice to say that along with everything the writer says, what also baffles me is that anyone with half a brain thinks mass gun ownership is a good idea.
@realmattseymour @Surasanji @Dan_Ramos
I think those observations and opinions make sense. That had always been my view of Trump. Curiously enough, Oliver) politics here ends up being a choice between options, so on one side we have a rich guy who doesn't say witty things.
On the other side we have a group that parties as the legalize infanticide in ways that target minorities, transform the country further into a welfare state, etc.
Again, I didn't support Trump, but it's funny to me to hear that we should disregard policy and just vote based on personality. My objections to Trump were both personality and concern about policy. But I'd prioritize policy over personality and the policies of the democrats are increasingly evil.
But maybe that makes me stupid for even being open to considering policies of they're talked about by a guy with lots of money, funny hair or lack of witty jokes.
@SecondJon @Surasanji @Dan_Ramos I think that depends on who you ask and what your definition of evil is. That said, I don’t have a horse in this race so whilst I can throw in my smart arse comment, I need to respect that it isn’t my business.
