Keep thinking that it will be OK, that this too shall pass. Trump's effect on this country is horrific.

This is because instead of governing all the people, he acts as if he is the President of only those who agree with him and all dissenters are called names, denigrated and perhaps they should leave. He is the Great Divider Incarnate and celebrates it. Sad

The president, along with the vice president, are the only two public officials elected by the entire country. The president bears a unique responsibility to represent the unity of the country. Trump does not accept that responsibility. He treats his political opponents as illegitimate and even disloyal. He declared at the North Carolina rally, “A vote for any Democrat in 2020 is a vote for the rise of radical socialism and the destruction of the American dream — frankly, the destruction of our country.”

Almost all the members thought to be checks on Trumps behavior in his early Cabinet are gone now and replaced by allies, many of whom have not been confirmed by Congress as required by the Constitution.

This has all happened before in history and people believed then that nothing bad would happen, just welcome economic prosperity and the removal of constraints on the success of their nation.

Ex-Chancellor Franz Von Papen believed that conservative elites could control Hitler. Instead, by 1934 Von Papen’s political career was over, as Hitler, in a whirlwind series of personnel changes, set his propaganda machine – that same machine that denounced the media as the lugenpresse, the “lying press” – to work against his erstwhile allies and, despite not having won a majority of the votes in the previous election, purged his government of the moderating voices of non-Nazis.

You could have just shown me your badge!

Poor boy, you ought to realize all people have parents who love them, Jesus does also.

Even the ones who don't conform.

It's perfectly acceptable to you to insult some people because you don't like their appearance, (though I'm sure you would deflect and say he didn't really mean that) but suggest that yours might not conform and it is horrifying and a sure indicator that someone is one of the most evil things in your world.

Liberal

Would you shoot your children or yourself if those were yours?

Or just do this?

Explain Child Abuse and Neglect then? No, not all parents love their kids, some shouldn't even be allowed to be parents.
