the only way to educate dipshits like this is to let them get pounded in the rear end hard by their own electoral choices. i hope they all lose their healthcare and are reduced to voting democrat in 2 and 4 years to get it back

in the meantime liberals have plenty on our plate just trying to protect the vulnerable groups who weren't self-indulgent enough to vote in an obvious monster just to give the finger to the rest of the country

pretty much my view. they're grown rear end adults, they made a choice, if they suffer then im going to point and laugh. Don't want them to die though, as i prefer it when a lesson is learned.

there is a kind of rabid fever that talented populists tap into that short circuits logic, and some of what we're seeing posted itt is the fever of the campaign has broken and they realize they got carried away and things went too far. it's important that we acknowledge and understand this phenomenon in order to more effectively counter it in the future and keep the rhetoric grounded

however there is still no getting around the crushing stupidity of voting for the guy who explicitly promised to gently caress you over, and then getting pissed at him for loving you over. traditionally, radical populists run into trouble with their base if they don't keep their campaign promises

ultimatly he relied on the "common knowledge" that politicians never keep their promises. Since nobody actually listened to what he said they assumed he'd do what they wanted (HES JUSt SAYING HELL GET RID OF THE HEALTH INSURANCE I RELY ON) and now the dread truth is starting to hit.

Best thing to do is to point and laugh until they realize it (big if in a lot of cases), then show them how they can get active.

I have a lot of friends who are grade school teachers. One day one of them started sending me snaps of some writing exercise to the presidential candidates.

Every single one of them read along the lines of "dear mr trump please become president and build the wall and keep all the illegals out or we'll be doomed"

Come to think of it I don't think I've ever met an inherently liberal/smart kid.

most kids just have the same politics as their parents, if your in a deep red area this isn't surprising

Lol those idiots will probably be bailed out of the worst of it by Gov Brown, give Trump the credit, then vote for him in 2020 and vote against Brown

Certainly their whole business model would fail if all illegals actually were booted out

a russian hookers piss sex tape would be more than enough reason to kick him to the curb and install pence or ryan. to paraphrase a very successful businessman: what would they have to lose? what the hell would they have to lose?

the trump base won't give a fuuuuuck and decry everything as fake news. so all the smart GOP Congressmen are stuck running mental calculus as to where their seat will be safe if trump is ousted, because if he is the GOP will melt down about as hard as the DNC is right now

bro, just go all in and say "why bother voting since trump will announce that the results were fake news and declare himself god-king of america :smugdog::pipe:"

gently caress off with this stupid edgelord cynicism for cynicism's sake routine, this attitude is exactly the kind of poo poo that helps republicans/russians keep u disengaged from democracy

trump isn't crying fake news because he feels strong. strong leaders don't need to plug their ears and cry "nuh uh it's all lies" over and over again. weak leaders with little legitimacy do that. he basically won the election on a technicality, he's a month into his 1st term and already historically unpopular and scandal-ridden, and is on thin loving ice with his own party, who aren't even "his" party in any historical sense and have zero reason to take any political heat for him if/when the poo poo hits the fan.

it ain't cynicism about doing anything dipshit it's observation about a sizable and very loud portion of the population. also read what I was responding to. I'm not saying don't do anything, what I'm doing is explaining why gop congressmen are hesitant to oust the Trump. Since you seem annoyed from the endless naysaying of the dem thread and now feel like projecting harder than trunpmp, let me spell out what I was saying:

1. Trump has a fan base that is very loud and will function as a death cult for him
2. They will, consequently, shout to high heavens if/when trump gets impeached
3. therefore congressmen from areas high in trump support will weigh their options to make sure they don't get primaried if they go against him.

Ideally we would be brutally owning them to the limits of our abilities, but also getting them health care, education, living wages, etc. etc.

I don't think either prong of this approach would change many people's minds, but I don't really care.

my ideal politician is one who improved their lives in every way then points out that they needed a gay black Muslim liberal communist to help them

Wonder what's going to happen to the life flight services when they're being needed for like every emergency in the state outside of a major metro area, and yet nobody can pay for their services

The closest medical facility for the North West and North eastern parts of the state will probably be NPS or forest service clinics lol. The part of the state with all the coal mines will only have a VA hospital and I'm not sure what their protocol is for long term treatment is considering I'm certain they aren't expecting to be the only hospital for the northern part of the state

Wyoming apparently has a surprisingly good public education system, so naturally the ~business owners~ in the state leg decided to cut the teachers salaries.

Except they are legally bound by contract that any changes have to be union approved so they hosed that up and the states gonna go broke because they don't wanna tax the rich billionaires, which is loving woerd beca8se the richest part of the state is blue as hell so the self harming chuds would be down for it
