@ronaldtootall honestly, good. The more we can do to show this administration, the choices they're making, and the bullshit they're trying to pull is unacceptable, the better. If we just continued in as normal then it just encourages the shitty behavior and decisions. Fuck 'em, don't come until they fix their shit.
@Undead_Zeratul I don’t think they will listen. Trump has shown he doesn’t care. It may only matter if he ends up in jail of loses his money, the only things he truly cares about.
I believe the situation will get significantly worse. How bad is yet to be determined. The Great Depression bad? WWII bad? Civil War bad? People can speculate, but they often forget how unanticipated reactions can spiral circumstances rapidly out of control.
@ronaldtootall unfortunately I agree, I wish these shit stains would have some sense of empathy, but therein lies my mistake
@Undead_Zeratul His supporters may back down if they believe that they: will be imprisoned (for more than a few years), will have their wealth taken away from them, or will be assassinated like the United Healthcare CEO. This is something Trump understands as evidenced by his behavior.
@ronaldtootall right, they know what they're doing is bad for their people, they don't care; it helps them and that means it's worth it even if it harms the rest of us
