Welcome to America

[Lou Deman]

LOTB I have been sounding the warning about the midterm elections for the Democratic Party. Our ability to connect with Trump supporters is not healthy and their numbers are growing. If we do not change our attitudes and find a way to connect we are going to lose our Democracy with Republicans in power. I am hearing from people on the street that they are "willing" to sacrifice democracy for someone who is has ruthless and poor character to get what they want. This is our reality. We can own this responsibility or not but I am going to try and connect with Trump supporters to find more common ground from which to have respectful conversations. This forum is not the best place for that but I use it to train myself how to respond to these false narratives and alternative facts and just plain angry people.

I can only tell you about myself and my likeminded friends. NO ONE is willing to sacrifice democracy. People like me can foresee that we are closing in on a crossroads where we will either have to split the country or there will be civil war. I'm sorry to say but I cannot see another scenario if we stay on our present coarse. I would love to hear thoughts on this from the other side (lets try to keep it civil)

I'm just repeating what Nancy said when the two were having sex.

And some wonder what could have possibly inspired the Jan, 6 attack on DEMOCRACY.

I don't really thing its fair for you to see all of my questions, not answer any, then ask one of your own but I will answer
Joe Biden won the election
Now America is paying the price for it

Lou, I've asked you quite a few questions, and you outright said you didn't "forget" to answer them. You just flat out didn't answer them, on purpose, so get off your high horse.

Speaking of punchlines and quotes give us some future great trump quotes besides “Grab them by the p***y” or “I like people who weren’t captured” or his great “Have you seen this guy” and proceeds to mock a disabled man.

No one wants Trump to be their preacher
The man has major character flaws
No one is arguing this
I'm OK with the p***y comment because I understand hes being a braggart when he didn't know there were cameras on (I have done my fair share of locker room talk)
The captured comment was bad as was the disabled guy comment
I'm from the Northeast so I understand Trump
He's a punch back guy
If you come at his he will come at you
None of that excuses him of his flaws but I do understand the edge in his personality

If you feel that we are headed for civil war then you are taking the lazy way out. There are those using the current political climate to advance their agenda and notions of "race wars" these small minorities of people have been salivating at the idea of armed uprising for years. I don't believe we are headed this route for a multitude of reasons, but the primary being laziness. The average American isn't going to sacrifice convenience and comfort to "rise up", some might, but they'll turn back quickly when they realize that a civil war will disrupt everything in their lives.

Uh, yea, ok. Thanks for proving his 5th Ave comment was one of the few times he told the truth.
Do you enjoy his incessant bitching and whining about losing? One would think it’s getting old even for supporters.

Lou, ask yourself why you would compare Joe Biden to Ronald Regan like that. Your thinking is in a box created by political myths and false narratives. LOTB was really only commenting that Regan had a serious mental medical disease and Biden has normal old age. Regan had 8 years to get things done and Biden has had about 8 months. If our Democracy is going to survive we the people will have to think outside these narrow boxes. Regan followed Jimmy Carter who is a very good human being and even though he made mistakes people did not hate each other. Biden followed Trump and if you are going to be honest about it Trump is not a Jimmy Carter in character. Character is a big factor in a President. Congress is a big factor in making laws and rules that we live by. I think our President must have good character otherwise both Congress and We The People tend to follow the leader...

Mput
Couple of things
My comment is partially humor
My comment has nothing to do with any boxes myths or narratives
To me Biden is diminished beyond the capability to do the job he was elected to do
We differ on our requirements for what we need out of our presidents
I would rather have a rough person that holds peoples feet to the fire the a nice guy that doesn't get much done
You also stated Biden has only had 8 months when in reality we have seen his accomplishments for 5 decades and they are way less then stellar, its also funny to me how the left seems to not care about his past racial comments but that isn't for me to be concerned with

I don't like him being a sore loser
Quote from my college coach: Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser

Past comments don't hold much weight if the behavior has changed. Trump was, is, and will die an open racist.
