So it was an election between an unfit candidate vs an extremely unfit candidate who couldn't even beat the regularly unfit candidate.

Cos he knows words. He has the best words.
Speaking of best words, going to be interesting what Trump slogans on for 2020. Some "Lock him/her up" again? Another swamp draining? I'm sure he'll demonize Mexicans and likely Muslims again, you can bet on that one.
Not sure he can use "Make America Great Again", cos if it's not great after four years of him being in office, what's that say about him.

Whatever it is I'm sure it'll be hyooj 👌
Originally posted by SurturI think what gets you nowhere is deflecting any criticism of the president with "what about the other side?" It's basically a symptom of the fact that people are firmly entrenched in their particular ideological camps.
My point is if you wanted you could paint a pattern with either side if you really wanted to, but it will get you nowhere.That is where we are now though with each tragedy, which side is to blame.
I am not really blaming Trump... I just think taking this as an isolated incident is short sighted. It seems like a symptom of the increasingly polarized times we are in.
Originally posted by Lestov16What are you saying.. the Dems threw the election to incite a civil war? I'm not saying Trump is trying to do so either btw.. I just think his election has radicalized both sides to such an extent that while an actual civil war seems like a stretch... We are definitely treading a dangerous path.
You're right. He's not really fit to be president. So I guess the question is simple: Which political party set him up to be a piper candidate, and then lost the election because their candidate was so bad that Trump beat her with less votes than Mitt Romney got in 2012? If we are going to talk about who is trying to incite a civil war, maybe we should look at that political party. Maybe....
In many ways Trump is a symptom of this polarization, not the root cause. We saw the country become very divided under Bush and more so under Obama. Trump was once again a result of this division.. but his style and his rhetoric have only reinforced this trend tenfold.. in many ways he probably is providing more motivation to the far left than he is to the far right just by what he represents. But both sides certainly seem much more emboldened today then they did in pre-Trump America.
Some charges have been filled, more may be added later:
A grand jury has indicted a U.S. Coast Guard officer who’s painted by prosecutors as a self-avowed white nationalist with a hit list of Democrats and media personalities.
Although federal authorities last week described Lt. Christopher Paul Hasson, 49, as “a domestic terrorist, bent on committing acts dangerous to human life,” Wednesday’s indictment was limited to charges that he was a drug addict who unlawfully possessed both a controlled substance and a firearm, plus owning an illegal gun silencer. -snip
In a motion filed last week to keep Hasson in custody pending trial, prosecutors warned that the gun and drug-related charges were “the tip of the proverbial iceberg.” -snip
Hasson conducted online searches for pro-Russian, neo-fascist and neo-Nazi literature between 2017 and 2019, and took inspiration from the manifesto of Anders Breivik, a far right-wing domestic terrorist who killed 77 people — mostly children -snip
Hasson’s online activity since early 2017 showed him conducting internet searches for phrases such as, “most liberal senators,” “where do most senators live in dc,” “do senators have ss [secret service] protection” and “are supreme court justices protected,” authorities wrote. -snip
According to the federal filings, Hasson allegedly researched MSNBC host and former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough “after viewing a headline claiming that Scarborough referred to the President as ‘the worst ever,’ -snip 😂 Oh...
Prosecutors contend that on Jan. 17, Hasson also “compiled a list of prominent Democratic Congressional leaders, activists, political organizations, and MSNBC and CNN media personalities,” according to the filing. snip

If that's directed at me?
I don't blame Trump for this, this person is responsible for his own actions, just like the MAGAbomber, but Trump as POTUS should reel in his rhetoric and demonizings on certain groups/people. He's the POTUS and he sets the standard now and there's people like this looking for a trigger to pop off.
If the argument is "well, he's attacked", yes he is. That comes with the job though; every President before him was attacked, grow a thicker skin and act like the POTUS instead of a dangerous maninfant.

This is bullshit. Trump has been attacked way more than any other president in recent memory. Way more than Obama, Bush, or Clinton.
And if Trump needs to dial down the rhetoric then so do his opponents, period.

😂 Good lordy
Being attacked is part of the job; it's well known before you take it. As POTUS, he sets the standard and should lead by example. Guess Obama was correct when he said Trump didn't have the temperament to be POTUS. Thanks, Obama.
