And I thought you were reasonable,
just another liberal partisan sore loser, I won’t make that mistake again.
Which one is you?
You don’t have to answer that.

[/QUOTE,
Define your term "reasonable"? Believing everything you believe in?
The picture you post above is very telling because you assume it will get a rise out of me. I hate lumping people together but it's hard to miss the fact that so many die-hard Trump supporters view everything through the lens of their party "winning" or "losing", it's a zero sum game with no middle ground. But that picture you posted is so wholly disconnected with the way I view politics that it's just a picture of two people to me, nothing else. The thing is, I don't
personalize politics.
Was I upset when Trump won? Absolutely, but I wasn't angry or sad, I was terrified. If Trump had run as a Democrat there is no way in hell I would have voted for him, even if he claimed to support every thing I strongly believed in. Why? Because to be President of the United States you need certain qualities, none of which Trump has. You need to be able to listen to opposing ideas and not be threatened by them as Trump is. Assemble a "Team of Rivals", not a team of sycophants.
A President also needs an extremely thick skin because the media is going to go after you. And, yes, they went after Obama as well, he just didn't give them as much material. Trump gives them material in spades, his thin skin plays right into their hands. There was a press briefing I watched a couple of days ago where a reporter kept going on and on about Trump not wearing a mask at the mask factory. Was it bad that he didn't wear a mask? Yes. Is that the most important question the media should be asking him? No. But they are going to do it to get him to react, and he always does, which makes his
reaction the story and that's all anyone talks about. But his ego is such that he just keeps taking the bait...over and over and over.
So I don't care what you think of me, none of that matters. What matters is we pull together to try and figure out how we come back from this crisis we are in. Stop with the purity tests, stop with the insults (calling women c*nt, whore, or fat pigs), all that does is make you look like a jerk and overshadows anything else you have to say. I've seen some of your posts on other threads and I don't believe you are a jerk, at least not totally, but your anger at "the other" is so over the top that reasonable discussion is shut down. Finally, if you post something provocative, don't get p*ssed when someone responds in kind.
