Funny the first paragraph to Mycroft. And somewhat true as well. The extremes of both sides have been screaming at each other for so long that I don't think they know anything else anymore. But then you start with the name-calling yourself. Is it absolutely necessary to call Trump names all the time? You know it'll get an equally crappy response...
Nationalism is not a bad thing. EXTREMISM of any kind, is a bad thing.
And we all know the Oshawa plant was on its last legs for a long time now. You can't blame Trump for that. But you can blame globalization.
I agree, extremism is bad, for sure. I think I'm fairly consistent on that. Yes, it is absolutely necessary for me to call Ol' Shroomy names at every opportunity, because it's important to remember who the villains are. I make zero apologies or promises of repentance on this. **** Trump. :shrug:
That said, I can still respect the law, both the letter and the spirit, and I can also see that letting this train wreck reach it's destination is going to be good in the long run for Americans. Sometimes, when stubborn people won't listen, you just need to let things fail. Tough love, and all of that.
