Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Latecomer
 
As always the elder population.
 
But these last few elections has seen record youth turnout so…

@Dustcan  
So it’s still rather up in the air, huh? When are the primaries?

The problem with the left is using electoral politics as a legitimate strategy to gain power

Trump invited a pastor who has repeatedly said Jews should go to Hell to a party on the same day he signed his bill combating anti-Semitism (which was actually itself anti-Semitic).
 
Because of course.

@Dustcan  
Which was also the White House Hanukkah party, where the complemented the First Lady on her Christmas decorations that she put up for the White House Hanukkah party.

2020.

The right criticizes itself all the time, too. Conservatives are mostly united around Trump because he’s the president, but that doesn’t mean they like the Republican Party by any means (indeed, some of them support him because they see him as outside the party apparatus and Washington in general, and thanks to Trump’s sheer ego, they’re not entirely wrong to do so).

Go to The American Conservative and read the comments section on the articles. There’s plenty of disagreement, and not just from left-wing commenters; there are several neck-deep-in-woo religious traditionalists who have no use for secular politics in general. Even some of the articles themselves come from authors who are skeptical of or outright opposed to Trump, at least on certain issues.
 
There’s a certain space of opinion they’ll never move outside of, yes (you won’t find an article that appeals to atheists or those aren’t sexually prudish), but that’s no less true of the left. It’s overly reductionist to paint the right of the political spectrum as a simple hivemind of Authoritarians™ who all follow in lockstep behind their designated leader. It’s more that they tend to have mystical mindsets that make restoring traditional practices and values to the public sphere (or maintaining them in the private sphere) a top priority, over and above the basic materialist concerns that animate most people. As with most ideologies, their worldviews make quite a bit of sense if you accept certain presuppositions.

Shocking moment school bus bullies pummel 14-year-old boy leaving him hospitalized with head injuries ‘because he’d worn a Trump 2020 hat’ [Daily Mail]
 
And you wonder why American Politics is so divisive and bullying someone because they support someone you don’t like will not cause people to join your side, they will distance themselves from it.
 
So this article talks about a 14 year old being pummeled by five bullies, all of the black mind you, for allegedly worn a hat supporting President Trump. This incident happened on November 21 in Hamilton County, Florida, there is video and pictures, but we warn, it’s difficult to look at.

If things are so bad under Trump, why don’t people protest?

What’s with the picture of puppies?

It’s a stand-in for a harmless distraction from reality to keep people nice and comfy

So Virginia is in a huge shake up battle over Gun Rights.

I had to look up to see what you were talking about and found out it’s probably because of the anniversary of Sandy Hook

Tweet by George Takei on the republicans rejection of justice and rule of law,
 
I really want to believe this, but it feels so draining that we have to repeat fights we just got done having all because a bunch of assholes hate brown people,

@SombrLiz
 
I wish my Virginian gun frens good luck in their up-and-coming boogaloo against the government. “B-But they swore an oath to uphold the laws!” Yeah? They also swore an oath to upload and defend the constitution of the United States, which is the supreme law of the land, and has a certain section which protects the right of people to own whatever weapons they want.

Trump’s gonna cause a recession, if not an outright depression, if he gets a 2nd term.

@Ebalosus
 
Literally nothing is changing. There are no major bills expected, and the biggest bill from last year is one to expand background checks to all gun sales, and put stricter rules on selling to those with extreme mental illness or previous felonies.
 
The GOP in my state are just having a shit fit because they lost power.

@Zincy  

 
Even those suffering from psycho-sexual disorders? Harsh.

Why am I, an American, more concerned about the actions of Guys like Macron and Boris Johnson than almost every EU user here?
 
And vice versa with EU users when it comes to Trump.
 
Or is it just me?

@CaptainXtra  
Probably because if the problem is in your country, you can’t fix it and you can’t leave, you have to deal. On one way of dealing is not thinking about it unless you have to.

@CaptainXtra  
I think it’s because Trump is the most hated and egregious out of the three.
