Notice how subdued the reaction is to Trump’s election? No violent protests or sky screamers like last time because the primary messengers for their cause have lost all credibility.

Going to right a whole lot of wrong, really quick..
https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/18..._XiZg&s=19 BREAKING: A flurry of executive actions are being lined up by the Trump team for January 20th - NBC Change will reportedly be enacted "like nothing you've seen in history." Most of day one is likely to focus on ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: up to 5 executive orders with that issue alone. For context - Trump signed 5 EOs in the first WEEK of his admin in 2017. “There will without question be a lot of movement quickly, likely Day One, on the immigration front." "There will be a push to make a huge early show and assert himself to show his campaign promises were not hollow."

And no one knew what he was going to do. There were layers of reasons to be anxious. This time, we already saw how he governs, and a huge majority of Republicans wanted that again, he got at least a plurality if not a majority in the popular vote. Everyone understands that anyone who doesn't let him govern again is admitting that they oppose democracy. And they won't do it. Not until he gets in and pulls some egregious abuse of power again, that is. And maybe he won't do that. Let's hope.

You hit your talking points while avoiding the premise. 'Hillary got more votes than him last time'...what? The thrust of my argument is the MSM is the primary stoker of TDS, which is exactly what they did the last time he was elected. There were nationwide protests and sky screamers and in the middle of it all were MSM talking heads prodding it forward by predicting doom and gloom. From day one after his election, the media were in attack mode. Do you honestly believe the far left is silent now because they don't want to be seen as opposing democracy? Seriously? Or you could admit the MSM undermined its own credibility by peddling fantasy scenarios to its adherents during this election campaign. How can they be taken seriously to lead the charge against Trump when the people they hope to lead are leaving them in droves because the MSM lied to them? Let's just take a page from their own book and call the MSM "reality deniers".

See, I don't watch TV news and I don't think TDS is a real thing. I read stuff. And in the text space, there was a lot of angst about Hillary getting more votes, about Trump potentially trying to do illegal things, about Trump potentially being in bed with Russia, and about Trump being dishonest about his true intentions. We didn't know if key Republicans would split from him and maybe split the GOP. Today we know what we know. We know he tried to get Zelensky to prosecute Biden. We know he freely shared secret info with Sergei Lavrov, on camera. We know his first two efforts to prevent terrorists from entering were ruled to be racist and overreaching, though he did eventually strike the right balance. We know he told people to go to the Capitol, watched them get violent, and didn't tell them to leave for three hours. We know that 90% of Republicans will cheer him on. And in our election we decided that was all OK. There's nothing to be anxious about. If Trump's second term is like the first, it will be what the people wanted. Let the people have what they want. And for God's sake if you don't like what the TV is saying, just turn it off next time. Don't go around with your own anxiety that it's giving people a mental illness that somebody just made up. Don't go around diagnosing people you don't know who don't watch TV with TV-induced mental illness just because they disagree with you.

TDOSS doesn't make you question your belief of TDS at all?

Other corners of the Internet don't have Trumpers banding together and sticking up for each other. He thought if he hit you with enough facts you'd see something his way. Not how it works around here. There are too many of you and too few of him. That's just a here thing. It's not a Trump disorder thing. All I've ever tried to get people here to see is that Trump is always going to come up with a new thing, a new persecution complex, to distract you from the fact that he accomplished very little and understands less when it comes to governance. I'm not asking you to change your policy preferences or your worldview, and I think TDoss is. I've just hoped to get you to recognize that, whatever good thing you think Trump will do, he won't do it, and he will distract you with a sideshow while he doesn't do it.

But wouldn't it be boring if everyone agreed with everyone else all the time? What kind of conversation would that be?

Further I am trying to get you to see the reasons you hate Democrats, going back before Trump, are also mostly distractions that don't really affect your family's life and aren't really things for government to worry about anyways.
And when you come to the voting booth with only hate for what you are voting against, you send a clear message to your own party that they can nominate worse and worse people. Further we need to pick not just a President but members of Congress who want to do something and actually work together to use the power that the constitution gives them. We need to change our voting system to one that really allows people to vote for something rather than against something, so they feel heard rather than attacked. That system will then favor people in Congress who actually try to do the job rather than people who try to audition for TV news (cough Joe Scarborough cough). Ranked choice voting with Copeland counting is the best way, but anything's better than what we are stuck with now.

All I said is I'm more likely to stay quiet if I already agree with what has been said, and I'm more likely to post if nobody has spoken up for my point of view yet. But I actually have a point of view and I don't change it just anger you. You are not that important. No one is.
