We are a nation of rules and the rules are boring. Embrace that. In times of difficulty, go with the boring option. When faced with a frightening crisis, tamp it down with ultra-boring moves. No matter what, stick with the rules.

I can’t avoid talking about Donald Trump but I’m going to make it brief. I know you don’t like him; neither do I. But let’s assume he’s only a politician. He’s not Hitler, Godzilla or the Beast of the Apocalypse—just a guy with a loud mouth and a desperate need for attention. Most Americans think of him that way.

This is not about him. It’s about you.

    Please report anyone using the r-slur. It’s one of the few things I will just remove immediately.

      I’m aware you will. But that’s not the point I was trying to get across.

      My point is that this writer is saying “you get treated how you treat others, so democrats don’t be rude”, but no matter what I do I am met with insult.

        Its vulgar, sure, but imo not really a reason to do much of anything about. And Im not a lord or leader or a fuhrer. I’m a random guy who made a community and started posting stuff. That’s what I am.

          Ok cool just making sure we have a precedence of you approving “Hitler” as vulgar, but “not really a reason to do much of anything about it”

          Later, Hitler.

              I mean, I won’t call you a N-word (not the racist one, the one synonymous with conservatives) loving hypocrite, but since you’re down for Hitler—apparently there is a difference—I’ll stick to that.
