Hit a nerve evidently.

I am quite sure that you conform perfectly to another quote from that book that has become prescient over the last four years.

But I'm not going to tell you what it is.

Trumpism should be dead; but his supporters continue to blindly follow him.

I guess that 47% of the voters are brain dead.

I wouldn't guess that high. After all only 28% of voters are registered republicans.
 
The GOP want to kill trumpism and suck its decaying carcass for nourishment, but no one will know for sure whether it is dead or playing possum for at least four years. They also don't want to get close enough to check, because the claws and teeth might still work just fine and it carries some nasty diseases.
 
Trump sure did tap into some "energy" (translation = naming grievances) of some of the working class. Too bad he delivered nothing to them except more targets to hate and vilify. Hillary winning would have saved the country a great deal of pain and embarrassment.

Just to start with the 5 first things on your 30 good things list.....1 Trump will be remembered in history for politicizing the courts to an unheard of degree with the appointment of radical right judges. He did not do this because of any deeply held belief, other than this would get him votes with radical right wingers. 2 The tax cut benefited corporations and the rich. Some people received minor tax cuts....many paid more. The tax cuts for the masses will expire soon. The money would have been much more effectively used for developing infrastructure and the resulting good paying jobs. He catered to his friends instead, at the expense of everyone. 3 Developing the military? Trump lost the respect of all of "his generals" and they went public with their criticism of the CIC. 4 Saving unborn babies? LOL, Anyone ever wonder how many of his own unborn "babies" he neglected to save? It's very easy to rack up support of the pro lifers....just say you are pro life, give them a judge ...instant votes.. 5 Betsy DeVos? She may go down in history as the worst cabinet member ever. Or the best, if the objective was to ruin the department she oversaw. What accomplishment of hers helped children during the pandemic? Which of her relatives profited? Not even gonna take a look at the next 25. I would say anyone considering these as accomplishments has a very low bar.
 

I've heard that right wingers are bringing primary challenges against all ten of the Republicans who had the spine to vote for the impeachment of a president who incited a riot that led to 5 deaths and untold destruction. Liz Cheney withstood her last primary challenge by a huge margin, and I expect she will do so again. It cannot be possible that a majority of republicans prefer the likes of Green and Boebert to the establishment, but maybe they are crazier than I give them credit for. I hope the Republicans do a great job at tearing their party apart....more blue seats in 2022.

I tried two times today to suffer through a Biden talk to the public and had to retch a few times and gave it up.

Biden is acting as if he is the one solving the Virus. Give him a hell of a long time though he says.

Tune into Fox News instead. They are completely ignoring the virus and still examining the trail of Hunter's laptop. Great stuff!

Biden comes across as someone who has a Messiah complex... maybe he needs personal redemption?

Whatever it is... well

To be frank, it's a turnoff.

A Messiah complex? Now didn't Obama have that too? And John Kerry? Is it just being decent that reminds one of the Messiah?
 
It's absolutely amazing that the local Hawaiian newspaper ran a birth announcement for Barack Obama on the date of his birth....being able to foresee that this person actually born in Kenya ...would some day run for president and lie about his birth place. Don't ya think that is amazing?

It's amazing that Trump signed many EO's overturning Obama EO's. Why didn't he overturn this one?

Hey, he's offering you the chance to step into the real world of Trump crazy. It might be hard to find a return ticket.
 
Which of those people had an abortion?
 

Whoa, we got a Birther here! I thought they had gone extinct. Hmm, is anyone here a swift boater? Would be nice to establish a complete collection of pre-Q conspiracy theorists.

More importantly, is TDS dead? Nope.
Click to expand...

Yup, definitely alive. Did you see all those people chanting “hang Mike Pence!” because he had a disagreement with Trump? It was nuts... that’s some serious Trump Derangement Syndrome there. I do believe it’s fading now that the TDS can’t spread so easily though social media across his supporters but it’s going to take a while. And from some of the posts here the last few days, some TDS cases are progressing into BDS which is like ODS but with... you know... less racism.

Nope. Try again. It's amazingly apt.

Is that the real reason or just a convenient one?

Recall you were the first to start mudslinging here when you started to talk of my " petty politics". I don't like the Democratic party and I don't like the Republican party either. My view is that the USA is a plutocracy where you can vote for the two parties the plutocracy has given you, knowing that regardless of the outcome their interests are the ones being served. That might actually put me more in the camp of with those that don't vote than yourself, who is a devout Trumpist by the looks of it.

I decided to pass. If he thought it was important enough for me to consider then a link should have been included with his statements.
