Eh, if Trump turns out to be pretty bad I can only say that we got worse before and our country's still standing.

True enough. We've had some really, really embarrassing presidents. But personally, trump's the most embarrassing, for me. But this is a nation of survivors, I suppose. I wouldn't be surprised by a watergate 2.0

John Dean (who knows a thing or two about Nixon) has said in interviews that Trump is even more Nixonian than Tricky Dick himself. I guess we'll see.

Lol, I get the reference to the Dr. Strangelove/Love the Bomb film :maud:.

 

I'm not really concerned about his presidency; people acting like it's going to be Doomsday on 2012 all over again :maud:. Sure he's done and said questionable things in the past and the more recent past, but it's not like he's clueless or doesn't have ideas he wants to bring forth.

I don't really care about how people think about Trump but this "liberal vs conservative" bullshit mentality is really getting to me. People talking about how conservatives ruin everything or liberals being whiny little babies is the exact reason why the political atmosphere of the US is not going to improve. If all you people do is demonize and complain about how the US has gone to shit don't blame yourself for making a self-fulfilling prophecy. 

 

But hey, if you're not with us, you're our enemy, right?

Well let's be honest, that's all conservatives did for 8 whole years under obama. It's also what everyone ever has done since this country was conceived.

People are fond of overreacting, regardless of their political affiliation. But, we must face the hard truth that liberals and conservatives have grown so resentful of each other, being so entirely opposed to each other's views and lifestyles, that it's hard to see a future where we all gather around the campfire holding hands singing kumbaya. And yet, for the political climate to improve, we need compromise between everyone- 

it's just that "compromise" is a word that makes most people allergic.

Great title. I am a big fan of Kubricks movies. :)

 

I think after all the hot debates that we had in most of 2016, i think it's now time to see what Trump will actually do to the United States.

 

I am neither loving or hating him. I am rather look at his first year in office and then we can see if he is actually good or bad. Just crying about it eventhough nothing has happend yet never solved anything.

That's also a thing. Left and Right are distancing themselves from each other, instead of working together.

 

The Right says: We need less immigrants

The Left says: racists

The Left says: We need more women rights

The Right says: SJWs

 

Both sides have great ideas. But for these ideas to work properly, they need to both work together.

I dunno, so far he hasn't instilled any confidence that he'll do a good job, one just has to look towards his cabinet and administration picks to see why

Meh, if we survived Nobama -- twice in a row, for some unfathomable reason -- then our country's pretty much a collective Implacable Man (TV Trope).

Several times since the election results last november, and I am not kidding-  I've had an existential crises trying to come to grips with the fact that that one guy from "the apprentice" with the toupee who got into a name-calling fight with rosie o'donnell is president of the united states. 

 

 

I sometimes wonder if I'm even living in a real world.
