I think mrpickles problem here is everyone got to witness with their own eyes the dumpster fire that was the presidency of Donald Trump. Nobody is buying what he’s selling, but it sure is fun to watch him try. We haven’t had a die hard trump cult member around here for months

The Trump Derangement Syndrome stuff became kind of a hard sell after the Jan 6th insurrection. Clearly the worst things some people had expected of Trump's rule were not derangement, but proved to be totally reasonable concerns.

Ive been all over this country (Ohio, Penn., Florida, Texas, and Arizona) and the amount of support for Trump vs. Biden has been 1000-1. I have seen 1 Joe Biden bumper sticker.

I believe that the demonstrativeness of many Trump voters (with their flags, bumper stickers, hats, etc) is illustrative of an emotional investment in politics that has displaced the clear-sighted rationality  necessary to make informed choices at the ballot box.

How long can the Republican Party espouse the view that government does nothing right, that it is worthless, that it is the enemy, before something snaps in the minds of GOP voters and they begin to act upon these imprecations? The capitol riot won’t be the end of the story, not by a long shot.

Dem party is center/ conservative. They also like endless wars

Also dollars to donuts, they will also, not help anyone. They have the majority everywhere and won't pass any useful legislation...much less hold something to a vote

The worst single event was when he ordered federal troops to clear Lafayette park with tear gas and pepper balls so he could walk across the park and take a picture in front of a church where he was not welcome.

Now we are breaking out the symbolic events, it was pretty God damned low when Trump gave a presidential dinner of Wendy's McD's and pizzas to the college football champions

I mean if someone serves McD at their wedding banquet people are like, wow, but this was a PRESIDENTIAL DINNER AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Fucking big macs and Wendy's.

The INSULT of that - and adding to that he proudly insisted he paid for it himself

Gawd daaayum!

What you said outlined one of the MAJOR differences between the left and the right.

You're right, to 99% of us, COVID isnt a big deal--- and that is the point-- Trump didnt want 100% to suffer for a virus that 99% of people would be fine from

The left believes that the 1% of life loss is worth shutting everything down.

I think your numbers are a little skewed.

You say 1% loss of life, lets make that 2, ok?

I want to hear you go on record as saying that to 99% of the right, the loss of 6 million lives is not a big deal.

You just said that over 3 million dead is no biggie, so, how about 6?

You're over halfway there.

Without the “draconian measures” the death toll would’ve been worse and the virus would have mutated into more resistant strains. People over 65 are very vulnerable

Oh yeah, God forbid a bunch of spoiled college athletes get fed what everyone else in America eats.

Exactly. So the Over 55/65 population and people who are vulnerable should have been locked down and given support--- not the entire country and businesses.
