Dude, if he gets reelected, I'm going to have so much fun...
Yeah, me too. 4 years of pointing out what a complete tool your guy is will be awesome. The only thing more entertaining will be watching you rolling around in the shite trying to defend him.
I was only joking

It's pretty much the same as the excerpt from his campaign speech that day. I think that would play pretty well to an audience with a large percentage of veterans.

I hope it went over “more bigly” with them than some his earlier statements about veterans such as this:
Elbows up!

Trump is four and done. Judges are for life.

Yep, the same guy that increased military salaries, training and equipment budgets and tried to enhance community care at the VA.
That guy.

I actually rather doubt he’ll survive four more years. Then again I didn’t think Biden would. You really need to find people who aren’t geriatric old clowns.

All the more reason to throw your support behind one of them. Either one could probably beat the Democrats next November. I don’t think your “rusty old hulk” can do that.
But then perhaps you, like most populists on either the right or the left, can’t tell the difference between good governance and Romper Room.

I agree. Wholeheartedly.

Now, the Leftwing Media has gone gaga over his statement, mainly because A) they must not have anything else to talk about, and B) they are trying their best to rig the next election.

I think he's playing with words to be provocative, and oh gee I dunno like before when he did this shit, it can have unintended consequences for the true believers and the country generally.
We need more humanizing, not less.

My preferred landing point is to consider everybody deeply flawed, then figure out the ways in which our minds make us so. In its favor, Christianity gets that first thing right. More generalized tribalism is where you consider everybody outside your tribe to be deeply flawed, which is close to the truth, in that if everybody is deeply flawed, so is everybody outside one's tribe. But then tribalism does a faceplant when it tries to figure out why the other tribe is deeply flawed. This manifests in obvious ways, such as the inability of TDS sufferers to describe the motivation for Trump support with anything but the most banal insults.
Education is extremely important.

While I do think it's important to learn how to grieve humanity, I don't think that should extend to having no expectations. Part of the reason is historical. We've survived millennia stabbing, raping, pillaging and starving each other. Today, we're able to, for example, sit in beige cubicles and look up memes on our rectangles in near-total safety precisely because we expect more and more of ourselves.
I look at tribalism as a problem to be understood, not a standard to uphold or some ceiling we're incapable of getting past. We're capable, plenty of others do it every day, it makes society better for everyone when we don't let it drive our lives, so that should be the expectation.

That makes sense. I think tribalism is an instinct within us. It can manifest in good and bad ways. Agreed that we need to understand it better.

You call it tribalism. I think of it in terms of Hegelian dialectics. A similar dialectical struggle between antithetical opposites occurred earlier in relation to Madame Clinton and Obama, prior to that the manifested derangement targeted Dick Cheney and Carl Rove. It’s a dialectical struggle arising out of evolving dualities.
I find it all quite amusing.
