I don’t hate the republican party. But the current party isn’t the republican party. I disagreed with the republican party, which is different. The current iteration has people in charge who have literally no understanding or don’t actually care how the government works and what is needed. They aren’t reducing “waste”, they are just using that as an excuse to try and get rid of anything they don’t like or don’t agree with. The sooner you start to understand that the better. Because you don’t have enough understanding of what’s actually going on to have a legitimate discussion about it. It’s like someone who doesn’t understand algebra trying to have a discussion about calculus.

Obviously not a very smart brain in a box

As an American, our baggage is VASTLY greater than Canada baggage.

It’s causing fear and disruption throughout the “background” technical fields as well. Technicians and engineers are also very understaffed which makes responding to issues very difficult. Add to that a large part of the workforce being at retirement age and having issues trying to hire more and it’s a big worry. Not saying things are dangerous just yet, but as time goes on and the new administration has more time to meddle it’s more and more likely they will break something.

Because they are ignorant and/or a troll

The sheer willing ignorance of your comments are mind boggling. We have literal nazis doing the salutes in front of crowds as well as posting and talking about nazi racial ideologies. Please PLEASE work on your critical thinking and getting better at looking at things logically and from a mindset outside of your own little demographic. If you cant/won’t even make that attempt than you aren’t even worth having a discussion with.

Says the person in a bubble to someone representing a larger portion of the country.

Honestly, i have ground news that I subscribe too and most of the time I try (not too successfully since it’s EVERYWHERE) to avoid politics outside of it. I’m a federal employees as well so there’s even more fear involved.

Trump supporters are some of the most whiny, needy, and snowflake people i have ever had the misfortune to meet/hear. They are an extremely vocal minority that is going to fuck things up for everyone. And guess what? The common man ISNT a nazi. They aren’t bigots, they aren’t sexist, traitors or unethical. Those are the minority. And the real problem is that those people think they are allowed to express these views. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of consequences.

The sheer fact that your whole comment can be refuted and countered from just cursory searches and looking outside of curated news spaces means that you are either arguing in bad faith or you just choose to ignore reality. Either way your stupid decision is going to fuck over a huge number of people and that includes your son because trump has never worked a day in his life. He has bankrupt over 250 businesses, including a casino so he’s a shit businessman. Your inability or unwillingness to face reality is going to be responsible for everything that trump fucks up over the next, hopefully only, 4 years.

I will. I can’t speak for your therapists situation, but not all of them have access to necessary resources. There are all too many companies/orgs/whatever out there who see mental health as just a cash grab and hire therapists in and trap them financially and professionally (for lack of better description) into holes they can’t get out of. Not saying all of them obviously. Just be sure to check out the company thoroughly. A lot of them have some of the same worries and traumas you do, and honestly a simple thank you goes way further than you think. It happens far less frequently than you think and I know my wife always gets a boost when she hears a simple thank you or saying how much help she has given.

My wife is a mental health therapist. It is a very high turnover job due to the emotional toll it takes on them. For the good therapists it’s not something they can do indefinitely. It’s also not as high paying as many seem to think. The majority of the money goes to insurance and then insurance a lot of times strings them along and it can take months sometimes to actually get money from insurance.

Finally! A good shower thought.

No

It doesn’t

It’s really not a smart idea to trust that email.

As an American, part of me wants to try to write a comeback to these posts since this isn’t even remotely what I and pretty much everyone I know personally wanted or voted for. But at the same time too many dumbasses in my country apparently did want it and I feel like we deserve to take our lumps. Sigh

I will show respect if I can tell it was well thought out and I can follow how they came to that conclusion based on the evidence they used. Otherwise, nah.

Cute. My shit would have provided a more intellectually stimulating conversation. Sorry, that means it would have been able to give more thoughtful responses.

You are so right, it takes me an immense amount of effort taking 2 minutes responding to someone while I’m taking a shit. I’ve literally never cared more about something in my life.
