All of this makes me think about something Citizen Rules said in another thread, how the Donald Trump for President? thread brings out the worst in everybody. That's how our culture is these days really. It's all about casting your opponent in the worst light possible. Making them look as bad as they can, dump horsecrap on them, misrepresent them, which can be achieved as easily as clever word choice. Instead of people bringing out the best in each other, seems like that'd be a much better model although it does go against the internet law of the point is to always come out on top
(Note that I included my funny video as an addendum to a serious response, and not instead of one. Important distinction, that.)
Also the whole idea of saying someone doesn't care is twisted up. I've never said that.
But I do see the tactic. When a person likes to have fun, has a sense of humor, and likes to be entertaining, their opponents cast them as NOT SERIOUS. Which doesn't make it true they just manipulate it that way.
Anyone who took the time to watch my video I posted in the It's time to start a terrorist attack thread and make it sticky thread should realize genuine sincerity can be behind a more fun exterior.
In fact, if you look back over virtually every interaction we've had, you'll find I've consistently matched your tone: any time you show even the slightest hint of compromise or congeniality, I immediately do the same. But it never makes a difference. It's either met with more silence, or more hostility/accusations.
Maybe people forget that if Trump is a successful president, brings back jobs to our country, increases the GDP to a better rate- in the 1980s under Reagan we got it as high as 11.39% in 1983, and on average in the 1980s our GDP was at like 7.78% which is awesome, it hasn't even been that high in one year since my 80s decade- right now it's 2.81% which is pretty terrible, if we can protect our borders so that less Americans are killed in terrorist attacks, lower taxes for companies and get America working again then we all win win win. Which is the point.
Those are the kinds of questions that are going to be involved in any discussion about Trump and his Presidency. They're simple and fair. There is no malice or manipulation in them. They are (if I can be forgiven a "clever word choice" without being accused of more manipulation) the RINO in the room. And if you're willing to address this kind of stuff honestly, I'll match your tone, with no hostility or gloating. Whaddya say?
