Your Friends Aren’t Trump’s Frankenstein’s Monster...He’s Theirs, John Pavlovitz.
Hello, swell. Tonight, I came across an article Trump, John Pavlovitz titled this Presidency Is Killing Relationships, and we're all grieving. And in the article, he submits that through this time, we have witnessed people that were otherwise decent, rational, educated people taking full leave of their senses, that they've gravitated towards a rejection of science

He disappears when the witch gets water on her and she becomes melted down like the idea of will other exit of Trump bring forward the transformation and then renewal of the human spirit of this country, the goodness of this country, the American pie, like all other goodness that we missed. That was nostalgic for even though there were insidious aspects of those times too. But the point you're making is, are we still going to be sick?
And he's done more for this country than your Democrats has done for 35 years, 40 years. I can list how much stuff he's done for this country more so than any other President in this country. Now you want to talk about racism and everything like that. The only people that racism has been the Democrats and the Democrats have been racist since the beginning. And if you want to do your history fact check, I'm a history major. So come on with me, buddy

He's done a great job again. If you are someone who heard the things that we heard at the outset and they appealed to you, if you're not that person, this is the worst example of leadership one has ever seen in the United States of America, not since the days of Jim Crow. Have we seen this kind of division in our people, right? You have a terrible event take place

So this game that you guys like to play. Look what the Democrats used to do. Who cares? I'm talking about today. I live here and now, right? I'm in 2020. I don't know what year you're operating in, but today, the groups that you're trying to use that you're trying to weaponize in your argument about how awful Democrats are. Guess whose team they're on. I got a bad news for you. Really bad news? Yeah

Look at the social media, everything that's reality TV, Twitter is reality TV, because the moment you say something slick out of your mouth as a celebrity now, it's not like it was back when I was growing up. There was no social media. It took a while for something slick that was said to get out and get around. And in some places, it might not get out at all. But now everything is immediately instantly out there

There has to be, I think, some standard for certain things. And I'm not saying that you are celebrating what you described. I think you're just acknowledging it, and I'm acknowledging it as well. But this is a politics leadership, I think, is where we need to have some semblance of civil discourse, of proper conduct, professional behavior, because we're talking about things that could lead to bloodshed, like comments that come out of a man's mouth

But realistically, I think people just want to be more entertained. Trump is an entertainer. That's what he was before he became President. He was already a celebrity. We already knew what Trump was. Trump told us what he was. He'd been telling us since the 80s. He's a businessman. So, yeah, if he gets a hold of the country like he has, okay in business aspects or economy or something like that

Hey, Joe, I just tried to put a link to a song that I wanted you to listen to on this thread, but it didn't work, so I just started it another thread that's called let's Start over. Go check that out. If you've got a minute and listen to that song, and because that's expressing exactly what I feel about this whole conversation we're having right now. Go check it out. Just let me know what you think

I really see the problem over here as partisan politics, and I think that goes back to our election process. I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with the Electoral Colleges Electoral College system of electing other President. I understand why it was put in place by our founding Fathers that said, I don't think they intended the Electoral College to morph into what it has become today. I think there are two main problems with the election system, though
