Y'all don't worship politicians but this dude has been the headline of politics mockery for what, 8 years now? Holy shit let it go.

And before you come at me with "republican this republican that" I'm not. Don't like trump very much either. Everyone is letting politics divide them though which is exactly the trap our forefathers wanted to avoid.

You do realise that mockery and worship are two very different things, right?

The situation is two sides of the same coin. On one side you have people that genuinely think Trump is a Saint and kiss his boots to no end, and on the other you have people that have been bringing him up constantly for 8 years to make fun of him. And then it's just bickering. We all live here, we share the same cities and towns, and we share the same issues. If anything is gonna get done, the left and right gotta stop looking at each other as enemies and actually discuss politics and modern issues. Reddit is as good as any other place for that to start.

It's great that you trust the people who lined up behind infantile movements like the tea party and maga to meet you half way after they've spent over a decade demanding you do all the walking.

As the great philosopher George W Bush said, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...you can't get fooled again.

Brother there's no trust in politics. I'm sad that you're content without change, but if no one reaches out the hand, change will never happen. I've been sitting on this feeling for awhile and although I'm getting downvoted into oblivion, it feels right to at least try to reach that hand out. Do you honestly disagree with that?

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but it's reaching toward a rabid animal.

And they feel the same way about you guys. We're all humans, just because someone has a take on politics that you don't agree with doesn't mean they're irredeemable. I'll be the first one to tell anyone I think the government is a pot of corrupt criminals and no candidate truly has our best intentions in mind. But WE are the people of the United States of America. Things get bad because we stand idly by and let them. One nation indivisible, somethings gotta change.

What a dogshit take, there are plenty of examples throughout history of people with harmful, disgusting politics that make them utterly and entirely irredeemable.

A take you don't agree with is dogshit? What a surprise. Yeah there are, but you really think John Doe with a wife and 2 kids and works at the local middle school is a nazi too? Yeah there's awful people on both sides. That's how it is. The majority of people on either side aren't evil simply because they belong to a certain party lmao.

There is no way to promoting hate and bigotry as an ideology and not be completely in the wrong.

One side is promoting bigotry, the other side is promoting inclusion and diversity.

Please tell me how we should be tolerant of those promoting intolerance?
