If you think I am pro Trump you haven’t been paying attention. So you might want to check the origin of the smell.
Sorry.
NP. I get accused of beating on the media drum but every week there is a new BS story that is the big one and turns out to be not news but rhetoric... yet I’m told I’m being repetitive. Haha.
Without content, I’d have nothing to say.

The TDS crowd . . .
This nickname you have for people who dislike Trump doesn't bother me. It isn't any sillier than some of the names
weothers have coined for y'all. But it is entertaining, in a sadocomical way. So to show gratitude I have coined a TDS-style moniker to be applied to you:Frantic And Rooked over Trump
Actually, there is a TDS crowd on both sides:
Those who hate President Trump - Trump Derangement Syndrom
Those who love President Trump - Trump Deification Syndrom -
I choose to own the word "support" if I would vote for the politician in a given election. I suppose those who would rather vote for a third party or not vote at all might not have to own "support" even if they do have a preference for one politician over another.
Education is extremely important.

I think I voted once. If it was easy there's nothing that would have stopped me from voting for Trump in 2016 or 2020. There are things that would stop me from talking about it out loud, which you are free to consider cowardice or some level of a lack of courage, at your discretion. The reason I don't vote is a different vice - laziness.

Those who love President Trump - Trump Deification SyndromNope. That is incorrect. It's not that we "love" the man, it's that we love our country and understand that Trump is fighting to protect it while the other side is trying to destroy it, and half the population is so busy pissing and moaning about how he says things they refuse to look at his accomplishments.
Our politicians, both parties, have been selling us out for decades. A few of them have tried to honor their oath, none were democrats, the few there have been are republicans. But by and large the majority of these politicians were after the same thing - to line their own pockets. The only fight was over which party would be in charge of us once the takeover was complete. While you and others were whining about how he said things and letting the media's narrative lead you around by the nose, Trump was busy kicking their asses and trying to undo the damage they'd done.
Yes, he can be crude. Yes he says too much sometimes. But he gets shit done. He kicks ass and takes names. I guess that's the first time some have experienced that. But it's time you grew up. You (the generic you) have 4 months. Decide whether you want to live in a Venezuela or if you want to keep the US a free nation.

Yes, the selection process begins and ends there, no need to go any further.
After 8 years of a president that didn't like the country, that was very important.

Horace - due to the pandemic, the California governor, said all voting is going to be done by mail. So, you should consider getting your vote in during this election.

Larry, I am sorry but I have to disagree with this. It is common to hear that "this person hates the country and wants to destroy it." I honestly believe that this is 100++++% false.
Your vision of the USA may not agree with theirs, and their vision may not agree with yours, but that does not mean that either side "hates" the country and wants to "destroy" it.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE!
I believe that President Trump loves the USA and feels what he is doing is best for the country.
I believe that Vice President Biden loves the USA and feels what he is doing is best for teh country.
To claim otherwise is ridiculous.
Okay - rant over!!

TG, you can disagree with it all you want. It won't change the facts. You don't know a damned thing about what motivates Trump supporters. You have a narrative that's set in your head that you've made up out of whole cloth, and by golly you're not going to listen to anything that challenges that. You are wrong nonetheless, and if that pisses you off that's too bad. Your constant drumbeat of nonsense pisses me off too, because you're wrong more than you're right.

Progressivism makes no sense and has no messaging power unless it is based on a notion that things as they are, are unacceptable. Hatred of the country is built in to the foundations of the messaging, though of course nobody is eager to own that label, so they won't say it explicitly or anything. Maybe in private company among friends.

@Larry I think we just need to agree to disagree.
If I could stand in front of a group of people in 1820 and say the following:
woman should have the right to vote!!!
black people should have the same rights as white people!
woman should be allowed to go to college!!
Even if you do not own land, you should be allowed to vote!!
Native Americans should have the right to vote!!
etcI think some people would say - "Jennifer, you hate the US and are trying to destroy it!" Just because I had a different viewpoint, does not mean that I hate the country, and because others have a different viewpoint does not mean that they hate the country.
Larry, the impression you give to me is that anyone who disagrees with your view of the USA hates the country and wants to destroy it. And that I think is 100% false.
It is very possible (even probably) that that impression is incorrect, but that is the way you come across (to me). I apologize if I am misreading you.
Anyway, i am glad that we can disagree and "shake hands" afterwords. It helps me to learn something when hearing different viewpoints.
