Swordfishtrombone Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 You can only judge people on their actions and words. In this respect Trump is in my view a reprehensible individual, he has stirred up populist racist feeling, mocked a disabled person bullied locals in Aberdeen and boasted about sexual assault ,he harks back to Reagan's time as a great time for the US when in reality Reaganomics was a free market free for all that the US has never recovered from and is responsible for the wealth inequality in that country. Money speaks for money and he has no interest in helping the poor and disenfranchised. He is dangerous to the world and if people want to protest I applaud them. I just feel apathy. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Fallacy bingo." Which fallacies? His language is so fixated on American right new speak that I think he may well live across the pond.

The Chlamydia Kid Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I went to the protest on Regent Street in Edinburgh. Not because I want to undermine democracy or somehow change the result, but to make a statement that I don't accept the world view that Trump espouses and to show solidarity with women. What has he said or done against women that you felt you needed to show solidarity? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money speaks for money and he has no interest in helping the poor and disenfranchised. He is dangerous to the world and if people want to protest I applaud them. I just feel apathy. Yet this is also the same person who not so long ago sneered at Republicans as dumber than rocks, after winning the election said there was a lot of good things about Obamacare after all, & appears to chop & change his opinions in accordance with what's trending on Twitter & popular within the mass market media. Reagan was a puppet president for vested interests who indulged in school bully foreign policy to please rednecks that never got over the U.S. getting their arse kicked by their Vietnamese "assets" gone rogue 20 years earlier (an all too familiar story of American relations with the world). What Trump REALLY believes in is anyone's guess, & that's what makes him so terrifying as a President. His presidency will be in accordance with nothing more than the whims of his ego - like Kim Jong Il, except in this case not in charge of some backward basket case, but a nation with the capability to create international chaos & which could easily take decades to put right after. Right wing conservatives & Vladimir Putin may be feeling smug now, but I've a feeling it will be less than a year before they come to bitterly regret ignoring those their own common sense telling them of the insanity of allowing the most powerful nation on earth to be controlled by a 70 year old plutocrat who cannot even control himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go to the effort of dragging my self-righteous arse out onto the streets to get involved in a meaningless protest mind you. Just browsing the forum, saw this and it cracked me up.

It's about all marginalised people in society, like the disabled, people of colour, mentally ill, financially disadvantaged, non-christians etc. Have you even listened to any of Trump's speeches? Meaningless protest? Folk might have lost the vote but democracy gives the right to protest. Unless you proscribe to the right wing mantra of " You lost, suck it up" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
