between decent and indecent people. Between those that think that they wish to do no harm in their life, wish to be part of something that improves people's lives, sees their life - the world - as something collective, and greater....
....and those that are wallowing in their narcissistic ignorance, their lack of acceptance of anything that they can't directly see and touch that benefits them, that wish to tear down - because of insecurity, or envy - instead of build up.
I suspect this has been coming for a long time....it has been a never ending cycle as long as there have been people - but the consequences of this particular collision will be (already is) absolutely stunning, terrifying, and infuriating...and I fear that we've only seen the tip of the turdpile.

(63,221 posts)Obama outshines him and outranks him in every possible way. That is why he hates him.

(2,120 posts)... today is International Women's Day and the #ADayWithoutAWoman hashtag is being used on Twitter by both supporters of the concept as well as the mean-spirited nasty assholes who support Trump. As usual they're trying frantically to shit all over anyone not like them and blathering about feminists, liberals, the usual hateful claptrap. I really wish these pukes would just hurry up and die from the inevitable heart attack or cancer which their endlessly nasty negativity will surely provoke.
These people are nothing but crying little two-year olds, always having to attack and abuse others since they're complete turds and get off on making the world a nastier place. As their precious hero (who is wonderful and perfect and can absolutely never do wrong) would say: "SAD!"

(1,601 posts)And through out the republican establishment and the deplorables there has been an 8-10 year rule of their thought that this guy Obama is a lazy N, Dumbass N, and shiftless worthless COMMUNITY Organizer! Never a businessMan! He's NOT an AMERICAN... Muslim loser!
Then eight years ago the Real President, Barack Obama came into office and miracle... was able to appear (and be) smooth-effortless in his working of the office of President thru out his terms! No drama, just hard work that appeared easy to the R's and that bomb throwing provocateur Donald Trump who has been as an annoying Gnat bedeviling him every step of the way!
I am absolutely certain that Donald Trump and the other R's thought if "that guy" (community organizer no experience) can be president it should be like a walk in the park for Trumpie. Imagine their amazement when they found out there is a REAL and hard job to be done here? A serious job, that they couldn't begin to comprehend because they will listen to know one with experience to help set the thing up in the first place.
So what can they do about it? Since they know they cheated.... they have one option. Smear and further de-legitimize the last president to hide your own greed and total incompetence. It must be a shock to all around Trump. Trump himself doesn't think that deeply. He thought he could waltz in, get the accolades of other Presidents and lord it over the rest of us as our Overlord.
We are in a mess. I don't know how to counter it. Deplorable News is saying such opposite horrible things, and is believed and able to get the microphone of the mainstream press all to easily. Talk radio is believed, really believed! by way more than should be, especially if we had a strong opposition. (we are getting better)
I'm afraid if Trumpites succeed, they will come close to jailing our leaders. Bannon is already saying things like by 2020 most of the past administration will be jailed for their crimes. I'm scared.
I look back on my thoughts on Bush and Chenney.... wow.
In the 80's I said, no one could be worse than Reagan, then came Bush. I said of course, no one could be worse than Bush....
One bit of brightness in all this is the incompetence of these horrors. Think where we would be if Trump was a silver tongue dream-weaver who could captivate 80% of the population. If we make it thru this, next time we may not be so lucky... someone of them could step forward and say and do the same things they're doing now, but with the finesse and believable charm of Ronald Reagan.
We should be grateful the Clownsticks are so clumsy!
