Everyone has labels and gets labeled. Again what is with the zero sum game. I believe many who voted for Obama and then Trump are uninformed. By their actions they prove so. If all the people that voted for Obama and then Trump would have voted for Hillary she would be President.
I also know the left desperately needs introspective adjustment. It is not one of the other. It's both. Until we all get that extremism rules the day.
my support is with the marchers in washington and around the country today.
i was raised through my formative years by my mother and sister while my father was out of the picture.
they gave me the compassion i have today.
Simon if you truly see the left as the most dangerous than stop empowering the most destructive element among them. The same thing has happened to the alt right over the last year. We don't acknowledge the real suffering that's going on and demonize our own and push them toward the only ones that have open arms for them. It is a small but loud element on the left and right that are causing these issues. As we disenfranchise the mass in the middle we push them to the extremes.
i thought i would start a new post about trumps inaugural address.
has anyone here seen "the new pope"?
jude law gave a stirring performance playing the pope.
Nathan what? Do you have info. on that?

Just fine. Really ivanka is a champion for women's rights. Did you vote for the guy to?

Are there people that say and think crazy things? Like violence at this point is justified. There are and I don't agree with them.
You keep generalizing "people on the left". I don't think it's a majority of people that think and do crazy things on either side. So what some celebrities are saying some crazy things. Trump is one of them as well. It's the primary reason he won was due to his name recognition as a celebrity.
it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?
DOC the excuses are astounding. I didn't support Bill either. I didn't talk like that in gym, on the golf course nor have I heard it in person. I'm in my 40's and have heard some shitty stuff but nothing like what he said he did. Let's remember he was talking about what he did. There are also other things he has been caught up in that show by his actions that he is a womanizing misogynistic pig.
Do you have daughters? If so I feel sorry for them to have a father that defends this the way you are is deplorable.

DOC how sad. You truly believe that is what today is about. The bumper sticker mentality on full display by you. One of the many things wrong with my American culture that got this clown into office.
Simon I agree with your assessment of putting your hands over your ears. However I don't see bohm doing that here. Stating that many of trumps voters are uninformed does not negate the current problem on the left.
It is appearing to me that you are the one that is being dogmatic here. If one doesn't focus on the regressives only they are wrong, wrong, wrong, and everything else contributes to Trump being re-elected in four years. I fear this very dogmatism will continue to strengthen the regressives and keep secularist values as a minority in this country.

I thought I would start a new post about Trumps Inaugural Address. Has anyone here seen "The New Pope"? Jude Law gave a stirring performance playing the pope. His first address was dark, condemnatory, at night, and with lightning striking at the end. I immediately thought of it when hearing trumps address. Has anyone else seen this, or have their own comparison?
