I didn’t say any of that. I just said Trump supporters habitually undermine American state institutions as a way of denigrating opposition to their man. If you don’t accept the FBI as law enforcers or the courts and the law of the land as enacted by democratically elected politicians then what...

I will probably regret asking but what does this post mean ?

The problem with discrediting the institutions of state in support of a politician or political party is that society itself is undermined. All sides of politics do it. You are doing it now.

I agree with you to a point. However I do think we need to steer clear of polarization of the debate into one side good/the other side bad as that is the heart of the problem. Trump supporters seem to define themselves by their support for whatever he says so the rational response can’t be to do...

Well, I think the thread title doesn’t leave much doubt as to the content.

Yes, you did. Yet you thought Trump not newsworthy. That does come across as a bit selective at best.

Yep, we are having to get used to the threat from viruses faced routinely in Asia and having to adapt our practices to theirs. It affects cultural attitudes to all types of things. Singaporeans for instance don’t tend as a rule to use public swimming pools because of water borne infection. In...

That’s odd. He mentioned his 74 million votes but forgot that Biden received 81 million

The 21 gun salute is very very funny. If the Simpsons did presidential departures this is how they would do it

It’s a shame to hear that Dick Tight is involved in the unpleasantness in the US

Months away. If they take it to the Senate it could derail Biden’s first 100 days.

Yeah the thread title is really ambiguous. Perhaps the mods can sort it out

Good grief

Funny you should say that. My first job in the late 80s was at an American company. We had a visit from a big cheese from NY. He had more money than you could shake a stick at, but whilst on a week long trip to London would only eat McDonalds. Very disappointing as I had been hoping for one long...

It wasn’t a generalization about all Republican voters. Rather it was aimed very specifically at the rabid types who tried to launch a coup last week and/or support Trump specifically rather than the party. Seems entirely valid to me to question the sanity of paranoid insurrectionists. Also...

So it could be argued that there is opportunity within the Republican Party for a politician who is the opposite of Trump ie one who takes the agenda towards the (just right of) centre. That is usually how democratic politics responds to a fundamental change in the voting demographic. It would...
