More wishy-washy hand wringing from the loony left. How are you supposed to score political points without calling people libtards, liars, soybois, and weaklings?

[Yournamehere]

Mean, spiteful, vindictive and totally unable to face criticism; other than by using a government instrument (the executive order) to effectively close down a law firm or have them provide services for him pro bono. 

Going by that picture, hand face face hand...

This thread and the topic that it discusses is now beyond depressing.

 

It's not like you can really even parody or satirise what Trump et al are doing now as it's so extreme, so debased and so divorced from reality that there is no way to exagerate it for comedic effect.

 

Comparisons to 1930s Germany are not without merit. As Trump and Musk ignore the judiciary, as they remove or disempower the checks and balances of executive power, as they contravene democratic rights, as they undermine the economic grounding of the poorest whilst furnishing themselves with unimaginable riches, it's difficult not see the value of historic comparisons, as well as fear for the direction in which the US is heading.

I find it really frustrating that on this thread, that those on the right of the political debate very rarely actually engage in attempts to rationalise or justify the actions of the Trump administration (see how I resisted the temptation to call it a regime? I almost didn't even mention the word regime!) and rather lower themselves to name calling. 

It would be really nice to see more compassion towards those that are being directly negatively affected by Trump's policies, like the auto workers in the US who's livelihoods are being jeopardised by this needless trade war that he's started with Canada. Or, more broadly, every single person in the lower four quintiles of the economic strata, for whom tariffs represent a significant tax rise. 

 

Less name calling, more reasoned and reasonable debate please. As adults with (I assume) positions of responsibility, we should be capable of that.

Well said. The fascistinos will never justify their words, they never think that far ahead.

We don't need to justify anything. I don't bother anymore as it's never ever accepted. Nobody is changing their mind so what's the use? If people want to keep on heaping scorn and hate on a beloved president and his team, majority elected, if they want to parrot debunked leftist media talking points, ad tedium...well, fine. Expect to be trolled like for like.

To be fair, some here who lean politically to the right are able to hold a discussion... though this is often up to the point where Trump gets criticised... but discussing around a subject kind of works. There are some who are unable to hold any discussion.

 

 

I'd concur though that the right leaning commenters here tend to fire out the insults and those with the left leaning thoughts kind of let them wash over their heads rarely trading insult for insult... but that is to be expected when their 'hero' is doing exactly the same thing just on a grander scale.

Based on my posting here, do I lean to the left or right do you think?
