Don't love it at all. Anyone who has had a run in with the actual mob would feel the same.
That said, it is easy to ignore when you are winning! Go Bills!

Still ignoring that evidence huh. Maybe if you came out of mommies basement once and a while you might actually be forced to communicate on a respectful level with others.
You don't because you're scared and you know you others would hold you accountable to your face, loser! Again you are a sad excuse of a human!
Irony is cool

I think for most of us we're talking about our late teens / early 20's, you know, when you're learning what to do with anger.
I certainly hope so!

Actually no, it's normal for a human male with testoserone. The problems come in when trying to supress the anger.
Really. The urge to do so? Sure.
Grown ups can control such urges. Control yourself. Find other outlets so you don't have a suppression problem.

If you break things out of anger, you have a problem. Go get that checked out.

“President” Trump snaps at reporter objecting to the President's false claims about the election: "You're just a lightweight. Don't talk to me that way. I'm the President of the United States. Don't ever talk to the President that way."

I wonder why you only made a comment on the poster here, but decided to question TBBills about deep reflection and a very, seemingly, genuine and noble cause to listen and perhaps question one's view point? If you spent any time on this board the last 4 years you would know that those who blindly supported, without any hesitation, trump were brutally pious and condescending at...every.....single....opportunity. Your presence would have been useful then.
I am fairly confident two wrongs do not make a right, but you really should have spent time on this board or you should now go back and read the posts and post titles from the last 3 years, once you do a lot of your questions will be answered. "What about-isms", loving when "libtards" heads will explode, stuff like that got old and many people just kept quiet, took notes, and waited for Karma. Now that the tables turned, suddenly we should all be Ghandi? The blue collar axiom of "payback is a B word" should have been heeded by the trumponians who only cherished "snowflakes" being crushed by real god-fearin' 'Muricans trying to make america great again....whatever that means.
I appreciate your tone, but instead of questioning posters who are expressing an equal and opposite reaction to nearly 4 years of ridiculous behavior on this board spend time on the history here; you know, those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. Or, the next time someone on the right or a trumponian makes a broad generalization, ask them to reflect and accept that they may be wrong also. If not, it comes across as insincere.
And to pre-empt, admittedly I have dropped in recently to take engage with a bully who was taking pot shots......you kick a lying dog enough you ought to expect a reaction.....getting a taste of their own medicine so to speak....very deserving. This stated, I have been wrong before and actually apologized to those that I may have wronged. It is a really liberating feeling. I am 100% sure if the majority of people on this board met each other in real life, without this forum's context, we would likely enjoy each others company and learn that we have more in common than not.
Now, when will the cycle stop? Or who should be the bigger "person"? Considering the true trumponians (those who think he can do not wrong, ironcially) engaged like this for 4 years, at least give the other side one year.....then worry about being the bigger person. If the cycle remains then, of course there is an issue....but for now......if you were big enough to dole it out, you must be big enough to take it. This is life.
Fair questions. I have questioned people on "both sides" over the years. I have advocated for togetherness and understanding. Those hating on all things trump, and those who seem to worship him. Both are foolish in my opinion. You are correct that maybe right now is not the time to seek such things but then again when is the right time? A year from now as you suggest? We shall see.
And yeah i'm under no illusion that we are all going to get along suddenly. But what i have become concerned with is the rather terrible forms of communication practised in our society and where that is leading us. Text messaging, forums, twitter, etc are all lacking and it creates problems. I mean, don't get me wrong, they are great in their own way. But as a vehicle for true dialogue they are awful. There is little nuance, a propensity to assume (incorrectly) and dehumanize, zero body language and what seems like a willful ignorance.
If each of us could have a one on one conversation with someone of opposing views with the goal of understanding, not winning or convincing or being right, i think it would be a major step towards peace and moving forward together.

No. That was not aimed at you directly and personally, but rather the representative of the Republican party asking to be listened to.
I've tried listening to them since you couldnt escape their in-your-face methods for the last 4 years even if I wanted to. I havent heard any semblance of reasonable policies, ideas, or governorship. No real ideals or ethos, other than TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP! CRY ABOUT IT! and fear-mongering and ignorance about their fellow Americans.
No ideas on how to fix any of the problems our country faces. Just who to blame it all on.
I really have no want or need to listen to any more of it. If they come up with anything of substance and reason, I'd look forward to it.
But the Dems taking back the Presidency isnt a sign the People want the Dems to listen to Republicans. It's a sign the People want Republicans, who have been in complete control the last 4 years, to start listening to the Dems.
i wonder if there is really are no ideal or ethos, or just, no ideal or ethos on the surface (ie the politicians)? it seems to me most individual people have ideals.
i understand it is hard to listen. especially when the voices are loud and numerous. in fact, i would not expect anyone to be able to listen in that context. the communication is too one-way for that.
one-on-one dialogue is the way to go. if everyone paired off an got to really learn about the other person and understand what they are thinking and why they are thinking that way it would be a revelation. difficult to be sure, but it starts with two people.
i've mentioned it around here before but again i recommend the Daryl Davis documentary "Accidental Courtesy". in short Daryl is a black man who has dialogue with kkk members. the results are quite amazing imo.

Not wrong about what is being talked about. Are you just full of stupid cliches or what?

Yea that sounds like you want us to listen to each other... stop hiding your bull#### agenda.
what agenda is that? what is wrong about asking you to accept that you can be and are wrong about things?
i am wrong about things. i make baseless assumptions sometimes and have to correct myself. i can be insensitive sometimes. i'm sure there are many other examples.
are you saying that you are not wrong about anything?

You guys cant be serious with this, right? When has it ever once occurred the other way? When have you or any Republican ever accepted they were wrong? Or even accepted that someone else may have a different life perspective?
When you are denying gay rights?
When you are tearing children away from their families for simply wanting a better life?
When you are yelling "ALL Lives Matter" and "He was no angel" in response to folks protesting en masse because police are murdering people?
But now the Presidency has flipped and all of a sudden you want to be "listened to".
We heard enough the last 4 years while they were "owning libs". I know exactly where they are coming from.
me?
i accept i am wrong, quite often. i also absolutely accept that most others have a different life perspective. that's the reason I try my best to listen. it is a part of how i get along with others. try it, it is rather freeing.
i do not deny gay rights. i do not tear children away from anyone. i do not yell "all lives matter". and i am surely not a republican, nor am i a democrat.
i'm a canadian. i look sadly upon my friends to the south. Republicans and Democrats. sad because your country is a great one, so much to offer, yet you are bogging yourselves down in self-righteousness.
all i am suggesting is you listen to each other. does that really deserve the rebuke you lashed out with? is that not something you should consider? or is it now 4 years of hell because "they" did it last time? you do see how that is a never ending cycle, yes? it just screams of childishness.
obligatory: sorry.
58 minutes ago, BillsEnthusiast said:I do try to listen to the other side. The problem is most of it is genuinely deranged fear mongering nonsense. Nothing but slippery slope arguments ($15 minimum wage will lead to communism in 6 months!!") or insane conspiracy theories ("Kamala Harris is going to round up and execute all Catholics!").
then you are not really listening. listening requires you to actually engage. asks questions to clarify. dialogue.

Yes ignore all republicans when we will have a republican majority in the senate (runoffs are shoe in for republicans in GA) and then do executive orders which will be challenged in court. We’ll see how the Dems like it when every one of their moves are halted by some judge somewhere and challenged until it reaches the Supreme Court and dies. Have fun!
yep, poor politics on both sides. it is really too bad.

Just now, TBBills said:
Nothing can be done the Trumpies refuse to so just need to ignore them. Better to ignore the crazy than indulge.
why not try really listening? not agree. just listen. see where others are coming from. accept that their life and perspective is different from yours. accept that you can be, and are, wrong. accept that your blanket statements are not helpful.
there is so much more, start there. and if you can't seem to figure it out, find a role model who does have it figured out.

ok.......
thanks for stopping by, I guess - and posting your "sane" rant with its blanket statements. There's irony in this somewhere, if I just look hard enough.
Calm down everybody!!!
Just telling it like it is, this thread in particular. Thankfully most people are fine.

i am sad to report there does not seem to be a sane person among you.
the "other side" are either nazis or communists - gimme a break.
macron can be right about some things. trump can be right about some things. heck, people you hate can be right about some things. how that is not obvious is beyond me.
your hatred is blinding you. ALL of you.

Why protest? Why fight any efforts? Because that is the way the game is played. If trump is going to throw everything he has at this (lawyers, lawmakers, etc) then the dnc would be fools to not respond in kind.

I say, without hesitation, the left wing had a monumental meltdown that still lasts today. Can you dispute that? I don't care about your feelz, I want proof.
Did the Democrats act in a immature way the past four years? Any honest lefties here?
absolutely they did. totally agree.
and now it seems it is the R's turn.
see, you have more in common than you want to believe! togetherness!!!

As for the pandemic, whatever. That ship has sailed, it paid dividends for your people at the voting booth, but as if on cue--holy crap, a vaccine! Thank God for Donald J Trump.
the pandemic definitely wasn't Trump's fault. neither was the rather poor response, most of the world was not ready. and the Ds hammered it as if it was his fault which is par for the course when you are in charge. i think it was wrong to do so, morally, but strategically you really can't blame them.
however, the vaccine is not Trump's either. or God's for that matter. we have awesome science humans for such things.

At some point the majority of the electorate that are in the middle with conservative and liberal thoughts on specific areas have to take the country back from the crazies at the periphery.
i am glad to see this written down. i hope you and your country succeeds.
