To the liberal resistance to Trumps onslaught of insanity

Are you saying you only started deploring the opposition when MAGA became a thing?

They were the same people before that time too.

I'm agreeing "MAGA is here to stay".
 
try being the "loyal opposition" instead of mindless "resistance".. IOW work with Trump where you can - oppose his agenda where you can't, but stop mindless "resistance"
 
I am only talking about apathy (which is understandable) which I see...It seems people (who have morals) have been beaten down by this wave of crazy...)

I just don't want people to give up

give up on what?
This is what more Americans want.
 
I have seen a muffled response to this lunatic taking office soon...

Where is the political muster to oppose his agenda of turning America back to 1959 (or 1859)

I hope my liberal friends show some backbone (I know how awful it is to have to go through Trump 2.0

Accepting this attempted reversal to 1959 is no good option...

Political opposition is seminal.

It is imperative to resist the rise of horror
Sorry, the people have spoken.

By which I mean the progs stayed home.

So we now have the government I was threatened with as an unruly child.

Good luck.
 
I hesitate to blame voters.

As we have engaged earlier, you are a good person...

What do we have to do?
Voters chose the leaders.
They are solely to blame or cheer the results.
 
There goes any credibility you might have had.......................................there is ALWAYS a "best" candidate. If you do not vote for that person, then you assist the worst. You helped Trump win.
Disagree.
Sometimes there is never a best candidate.

And voting a write in candidate that is 'ones' Best candidate is the same as sitting out the vote for all the bad candidates.
A no vote, sitting out, is a vote of protest. IMO.

I opposed almost of what Biden did. I did it carefully in that there were a few things - very few- that I though he made the right call
Point is i looked at each issue and weighed them before i decided

Nope-----if you are not lazy, you will find one of the two that is better. That's who you vote for if you are responsible.....

That is a foolish action. One of the two major candidates WILL win. By voting for a third party you assist the worst candidate by withholding your vote for the other candidate who is better....

a wasted vote that makes you "feel good"................good grief, no wonder bozos like Trump win........

BS, there's always more than 2 options and almost always someone else is better than the 2.

I detest the 2 party system so it's not required to vote only the 2 parties. They are 2 sides of the same coin.
By voting 3rd party that is a vote against the 2 party of similar results system. I say end the 2 party rule.

No vote is wasted. Ever. Even a no vote is not wasted.

Don't fell that we only ever have 2 choices. Since those 2 choices belong to parties that are more interested in the parties than the people.

But they will not win...................you are assisting the worst candidate who will win....

never said otherwise---just pointing out it is a foolish use of your right to vote......

no-----that is the easy, lazy person's opinion that prevents thinking and work.....
 
I'm agreeing "MAGA is here to stay".
LOL. Sure. From the earliest cavamagas to the Romagan Empire, MAGA has always been a constant presence.

And who knows? Someday there will be..., wait for it...,

MAGA! IN! SPAAAACE! Space MAGA!

You All need to do something quick. Come Jan 20th, the trucks will be rounding you up and taking you to the reeducation camps.

So what, the vote is for a person's best choice. Most of the time.

You think it's foolish to vote for someone outside the 2 party crooks? Funny.
 
I think it has. We've seen him and his cronies get away with so many immoral acts and so many crimes, spew hatred and nastiness and bash their opponents. Yet, there seem to be no consequences and 50% of the population overlooked it and elected him. Sometimes you have to ask yourself, what's it going to take?

I will never be apathetic about it, but I have lost some hope. I'm not a vengeful person, but as another poster said I think what will create change is the very people who voted for Trump feeling the pinch when he backhands them with his policies. How many people in the UK feel stupid for voting for Brexit? Sometimes it's hard knocks that create change.

If I am lucky I may have ten years left and I intend to live those ten years being as happy as I can with the little things.
Our daughter will be a fairly well off person when we go, so we don't have to worry about her, and we're going to do okay financially.
All my efforts paid off with a big fat nothing, the American experiment with a republican constitution and representative democracy has failed, fallen victim to multi-billion dollar propaganda with no small amount of help from hostile foreign actors.

We will not see the like of this experiment again in our lifetimes, certainly not mine.
So I will live out my life trying to find joy in the smaller things, like keeping my wife happy in her remaining days.
The world can go **** itself for all I care.
If this current generation wants its democracy back they are going to have to fight hard for it.

Is that even legal in the US? It often seems that you must subscribe to one party line, or the other. I felt like a criminal, marking my ballot with third party votes, and judicious selections of Ds and Rs.
 
This is all and well. But, you must remember the majority of the voting public prefers Trump.

Our problem isn't with Trump. Our problem is with our fellow Americans. Which makes it . . . difficult.

If a majority of fellow citizens who voted support Trump's goals for the US, then why assume they are blind, deluded, or otherwise on the wrong track?

After all, the so-called "Liberals" elected Biden and Harris in 2020, and how well did that fiasco of a pair end up working out?

No one with any common sense considers Bush-43 or Trump funny.

Yet, the other major candidate was so bad, they could not get enough votes.
 
I prefer to take the late Texan Clayton Williams advice that he posited about "rape" back in 1990, when he was a Governor candidate. As he sat with others around a campfire, preparing for a cattle round up, on a cold foggy morning on his ranch, he compared the weather circumstances to a rape, and said, ''If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.''

So.

I am enjoying the Neo World Order.

At least until the proverbial jackbooted thug knock at my door to come out and get on the Enemy of the People Camp Bus.
