What is the underlying point of this thread

It's to help people keep up with events and to be able to contribute and gain awareness of the current political situation in the US and the West (to some degree)

History students in the future might link all the threads since they started on Trump (I believe Meryl Streep was the first AIBU link that started this a few months ago) and use them as a guide to Trump's presidency.

MsHooliesCardigan · 26/03/2017 17:53

Snowflake For me the point of this thread (and I agree with Ginger that threads don't have to have a 'point') is to communicate with likeminded people and reassure myself that I'm not deluded in thinking that the leader of the free world is a narcissistic sociopath.

egosumquisum1 · 26/03/2017 17:55

and reassure myself that I'm not deluded in thinking that the leader of the free world is a narcissistic sociopath

You're not alone in that thought Grin

What is the underlying point of this thread

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I figured it was solely to fill the gaping empty void of my life that leaves me with nothing better to do than discuss the intricacies of the Trump presidency. Of course this is between bouts of weeping deluded liberal tears because i will never be a winner like Trump.

Is this a problem for you? Hmm

egosumquisum1 · 26/03/2017 17:57

The point is that we got to 1000 posts on the first thread so I carried it on. We then filled that quickly and Trump just keeps on giving. We kind of feel obliged to carry on the next conversation.

It's fascinating.

I think it was Lweji who suggested setting up an 'invoice campaign' - sounds good to me. (When I think of what people could 'invoice' 45 for and the photo opportunities. Grin)

egosumquisum1 · 26/03/2017 18:02

Still no tweet from him about the shooting in Ohio. He was so quick to tweet about France a while ago.

His silence speaks volumes about his character.

Oh Yes. Trump is the gift that keeps on giving, thread wise.

There will always be a Trump thread whilst he is in power. But what I really want to happen is to be out... come home... click on MN (only go on on my laptop) and go to the latest Trump thread and read a post by someone .. in yuge bigly capitals... saying

"HE'S GONE!!!!

Same here. Am going through a difficult patch IRL and the Trump administration provides a bountiful distraction. Also, I like hanging out with the other posters here, who are a witty, convivial bunch - whilst I quietly weep my deluded liberal tears, of course.

BiglyBadgers · 26/03/2017 18:11

I'm just going to sigh a bit at this one. Maybe shed a few more deluded liberal tears. Some people will never change their minds no matter what happens.

Donald Trump voters: We like the president’s lies
Donald Trump supporters in hardscrabble Ohio have finally figured out that he is lying — a lot. The truth is, they don’t care.

^^ What MsHoolie said.

Plus some of us have to have somewhere to vent so we don't explode. Naturally I can vent to DH and my sons, but of my two besties, one is pro-Trump (hangs head in shame) and the other is non-involved. It does me good to hear female voices!

BiglyBadgers · 26/03/2017 18:16

mortifico i am considering setting up a sideline selling my liberal tears to alt-right crazies who apparently like to drink them (I have seen the mugs). Not my thing, but being an open minded liberal type I wouldn't like to think I'll of someone elses beverage choices. Grin

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 26/03/2017 18:17

OK, Bigly. I have to comfort myself with something I read earlier that only G W Bush (2nd term, I think) won the popular vote in the last umpteen elections and the old, grey, white Republicans who shore up the party are dying out. We just have to trust the demographics and play a long game. They're buttheads, but they are in a dwindling minority - unfortunately bunched in lots of key marginals, which help with the Electoral College.
