The most nefarious departure from America's Founding vision that the political class has achieved is for it to become taboo for normal people to talk about politics around the common table.

@freemo @amerika @louis There was this like really small flickering of hope that lefty and righty people were actually talking in a halfway respectful manner.

Kinda snuffed that out.

@freemo @amerika @louis Hold on did this thread start out as an old-style argument between a relatively normal republican and a relatively normal democrat?

This is like a living relic, it's so rare to see left and right wing people inhabit the same spaces on the internet nowadays.

@amerika

One thing i realize about this discussion, and I may do a write up, is how people, most people in fact, cant really see the world in absolute terms, only in relative terms. Like if the democrats were acting this way 20 years ago when republicans were actually acting somewhat rational I bet even your most staunch democrat would say the democrats have went completely radical and were acting like lunatics. But when it sits next tot he republicans who are just as loony they seem reasonable and normal.

The fact that most people base what is acceptable based on relativity to the norm, rather than an absolute sense of reason is scary, and perhaps one of our biggest flaws.

(note: no offense to Louis, while he may have resembled some of that here generally he is a pretty reasonable and respectable feller).

Atleast he fought back, unlike the USA, Putin owns our ass without firing a shot. Trump truely is a pathetic weak little man.

@dick

Trump and gang really were a humiliation and a disgrace to america in this meeting. Like my god it felt like a bunch of elementary school bullies attacking the kid with a disability. What a shameful time to be an american.
