Social distancing has likely already begun to flatten the curve...Continue to research good antivirals and vaccine candidates. Make everyone wear masks. -- J.D. Vance
You write that about someone you know almost nothing about and have never even met?
This discussion board has really deteriorated.
It has basically become a personal attack playground for an ideological tribe of unhinged bullies.
Really unfortunate.
Unhinged bullies?
Yes.
How do we compare to the Trump Rally speakers at MSG?
I don't know, I didn't watch/hear the "Trump Rally speakers at MSG" - Why would you ask about random people that are not members of this board?
Because that's what most of us here are opposed to, ceebs.
My bad - I thought that I, personally, was what was being "opposed to" in the exchange that you decided to challenge me on - Not the "Trump Rally speakers ate MSG."
Maybe you're right and perhaps you can help me? Which parts of the below quote are about these "Trump Rally speakers at the MSG" and which parts are directed at an individual member of this discussion board?
"Are you laughing because you delight in having no moral compass? Are you excitedly anticipating a mass deportation? Trump's tariffs? His escaping criminal liability? Pardoning Jan 6 rioters? Weaponizing the Justice Department against political opponents? Institutional racism and misogyny? Controlling women's bodies?
Or are you nervously laughing as you condone all this crap because you think he'll help your taxes?
You have no moral compass because you ignore Trump's criminality, dishonesty and incompetence and support him anyway. You may not like it, but it is a reflection of your character. I suspect, given our experience with you, that you don't care about your character.
You're a typical Trump voter. You are who you are, and I bet you sleep great at night."
for what it's worth: this may have been true when originally reported in 2023 (I haven't checked), but in August of this year Washington Post reported: "Of the 42 people who worked in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, just over half support his bid for another term." Which is still pretty damning.
Schmo quotes me and is having a pretend discussion about me with someone he is believes will support/applaud/encourage his continued unhinged bullying. How adorable!

I think there is an asymmetry here that we overlook at our peril. Only one side has been pre-programmed to reject the results of the election if their preferred candidate loses. A frightening number of people on the right refuse to even consider the fact that Trump could lose in a free and fair election.
That’s crazy, and is due entirely to Donald Trump and his sycophants. Look at the Republican candidate for VP. His most recent position is that he would have been justified in rejecting the election because he thinks the media was unfair to Trump. That’s also crazy. Both sides complain about the media every election. Claiming that real or imagined media grievances give our elected representatives the right to simply ignore our totals should be shocking to anyone who believes in our system of government. It’s 100% insane.
The left knows the election is close and that Harris could lose. There is no equivalent on the left to the notion common on the right that a Trump loss means the election was illegitimate.
I would be shocked and disappointed to see democrats resort to violence simply because, when the votes were counted, Harris lost the election. Based on opinion polls, statements by Trump and other Republican leaders, and statements made by Trump supporters, I fully expect a frightening number of Trump supporters to react violently if he loses.
On the other hand, where I do think the left could react violently is if the right tries to steal the election again.
