Still not sure why I even bother on here. It's not balanced at all. Bfine, you should just let them pump themselves up and stop wasting your time. Your not going to change their minds and they aren't going to change ours.
Good deeds such as what Trump blocked a few days back and not one single mention of it from you guys. I applaud the move 100%. Maybe I missed it, because this forum is over saturated with "500 ways I hate Trump" posts. And the problem is it will be another 4 years of this.
This is what people have been discussing above.
Trump has no moral integrity, knows little about government and governing, and is willing to abuse his power in myriad ways, conducting personal vendettas, privileging friends and family, posing one national security risk after another. He has embarrassed us internationally and dropped morale in the FBI, the military, the DOJ, and certainly the CDC. His White House has been chaotic from day one, firing what few good people he ever had and picking worse ones to replace them, and then firing them too.
If ethical integrity and competence are standards to which we hold presidents, then there is no reason why Trump opponents should "change their minds" and support someone who demonstrates week in and week out that he lacks these.
What puzzles many about Trump supporters is exactly this--that his absence of integrity and competence doesn't change their minds.
Why don't supporters "hate" Trump for the "500 ways" he has broken norms of civic decency and competent, honest government?
How could this shit show be "balanced"? How could that one "good deed" cancel the weekly parade of embarrassments?
Yet supporters behave as if people call Trump a "misogynist" because they hate him, not because he is a P-grabber who publicly calls women ugly and stupid. Same for all the other terms driven by Trumps actual behavior--bigot, racist, tyrant, egoist, nationalist, narcissist, and bully. These terms are tagged to public and repeated actions.
If you rob banks then it is hardly unfair and unbalanced to call you a "bank robber."
Why do you exempt Trump from this principle, and then act as if people who don't are the ones who cannot be argued with?
