   Part of me wonders weather the people here are only saying this doom and gloom stuff because its someone from a party that isn't theirs or its Trump specifically. Most of me believes the former and not the latter because again, all democrats want is their party to win and that's it, no other parties should have power ever and that's how they think. If there was a reasonable republican in office, they'd still say the same stuff, the sky is falling and the world is ending. #Politics, #USPol

     @gocu54 No granted I've only really been paying attention since 2000 or so, but when JW Bush was in the whitehouse I don't ever recall hearing "oh my god oh my god we're gonna die." There was a lot of, "I don't agree with his decisions," and a good bit of "he's stupid," but nothing worse than I've heard from Republicans in the past 9 years. I'm curious to know what the day to day culture was like with Reagan.

     @Fragglemuppet Sure, some of Bush's decisions were bone-headed, but its not like he was seen as Hitler. I just don't understand this.

     @gocu54 Right, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's different, and it wasn't always like this.

     @gocu54 I'm waiting to see if we actually get the chance to vote in 4 years.

     I also say if you want us to respect our leaders, hey, that's what I want too! Just give us leaders we can respect!

     @Fragglemuppet I fear it will never change back to the way it once was.

     @JustinMac84 @gocu54 And people didn't just make up that he's a felon. That's not something you say about people you just don't like. That's a matter of record, and should be enough for anyone who respects the law.

     @gocu54 @Fragglemuppet Has someone who publically did a Nazi salute, twice! Twice! on his team, without censure. Repeatedly says things that just aren't true and have been widely and independently debunked such as widespread election fraud, which, you may notice, he didn't seem to regard as an issue when he won. He emboldens authoritarians and politics by military force everywhere. If none of that is of concern, then I dunno what to tell ya.

     @gocu54 @Fragglemuppet In short, it's Trump. People who take a stand for civil rites should be fired, climate change's a myth, if you're a star you can grab women by the crotch when you feel like it, politicians who don't like what I'm saying of a different skin colour or ancestry should go back where they came from, Trump that we take issue with. I didn't like Bush, the Iraq war was a stain on the rep of the free world, but he was no Trump.

     @gocu54 @lynessence I agree it can get too much sometimes, but I can't blame people for being scared and upset and needing to vent. With CWs, all is well. But I will keep encouraging people to try and find the little positive things.

     @lynessence @Fragglemuppet Oh, I didn't say it wouldn't be harmful, I just take issue with the whole the sky is falling idea.

     @gocu54 @Fragglemuppet ! you don't think some of what Trump has done or plans to do is harmful to American Society? Getting rid of diversity equity and inclusion? That’s definitely going to have an effect on Accessibility, both digital and physical. And he just hit Canada with 25% tariffs which could go up because I have a feeling that we are not going to take this line down. There has been a lot of free trade between Canada and the US over the years, and I don’t think most Americans realize how much of the goods they consume from day-to-day actually comes from Canada.
