Sorry, no "chief."

U laugh but I really worry about America. As if it’s imploding faster than the fall of the Roman Empire.

At some point it becomes a practical consideration about whether to placate the left, because they are the party of group-think and pandering to the masses, and that sort of thing can get arbitrarily destructive. Of course always under the cover of righteousness. The mission to destroy Trump and take whatever else down with him as necessary, is certainly a social force to be contended with.

Sadly, if Trump lost in November, that would remove most of the gasoline under this cultural fire. But it would just rekindle the ambers of frustration of the "silent majority" that delivered Trump his surprise win in 2016.

“We are dropping the name ‘chief’ with intention and with purpose so we have more inclusive leadership, and less language that is rooted in hurt and offensive and intentional marginalization,” Duluth Mayor Emily Larson said in explaining the move.

Mayor Emily Larson is an idiot

She is doing serious harm

If Trump loses in November the shit the democrats do to this country will make you wish you could go back to today's "culture wars" as you put it. Secondly, the frustration level of the silent majority are not mere embers, and they weren't mere embers in 2016.

Oh.. and this "chief" stuff is stupid. More Democrat madness.

Wait, isn’t chief a French word?

There was no such silent majority. Trump lost the popular vote. It’s an electoral college fluke.

There were enough people voting for him to elect him President. I think all of us got the point 89th was making, O pedantic one.

I didn't say he received a majority of the vote, I said the "silent majority" out there helped elect Trump by using their voting power.

Makes me wonder how many people even now, won't confess to having voted for Trump in 2016.
2020 is different, since nobody seems to know what the hell is going on across the globe, and how whatever it is will be reflected in that possible hesitation in the voting booth.

The middle class is being gouged, the lower economic class can not hope to be middle class, and those that are causing this also control the message as well as the means of messaging. That's my take, as a broad generalization.

At least as more and more small businesses fail, for a variety of reasons - plague to riots - at least Amazon can take up the slack. Get it? That's called sarcasm, for my good bud Ax those that need clarification.

Oh for Christs sakes, would you please pull your head out of your ass and stop repeating demo rat talking points??? It makes you look like a fucking fool.

[Larry]

Want to see an end to this madness? Want to scrub stupid off the carcass of America? Stop voting for damned democrats!!
