Right, you want someone to fight against ideas like healthcare for all Americans, fixing our deteriorating education system, fixing our deteriorating climate before it kills us all, a woman's right to decide what happens literally inside her own body, marriage equality for gay people, equal access to voting for minorities, etc. You want someone to fight against the idea that all Americans should be treated fairly and we should plan for the future and correct the mistakes we've made so far. And Trump's your boy. But I'll give you credit for admitting it. That's more than most Republicans are capable of.29 points

We have been rolling as of late here at Casa de Hulla. Wife is painting the bedroom. I BEGGED her to just pay someone to it. FUCK HGTV. She asked me for help calculating much paint will be needed. Her numbers weren't coming out in the online calculator. Her: I have these measurements. This stupid thing isn't working. I input the numbers. The room is 12'5" by 18'31". Me: 18 feet, 31 inches? Her: Yes. Me: Why 31 inches? Was the tape measure only 18 ft long? Her: Yep. How did you know?25 points

This virus is so horrible. My friend’s body is still being kept “alive” by machines but everything that made him who he was is gone. Between these protests and personal grief, I am exhausted and broken. Y’all please keep practicing social distancing and all the other safety precautions. My city’s numbers are the highest they’ve ever been and Alabama’s numbers are spiking despite our testing numbers remaining flat. Our ICU is officially full. Sorry I’m rambling. I’m a mess. Y’all be safe.16 points

You use the phrase "radical left" agenda because you have no idea what specific goals actually make up that agenda (not that there is actually a singular agenda) or why you are opposed to them. You just know you are supposed to be against the left. It is hilarious.15 points

Ya. That's called a compromise. It's generally a sign of good faith by both sides to reach an agreement and make the most out of a difficult situation. It appears you prefer tribalism. Bold strategy and what not.14 points

Dude, I think he gets the point. Leadership training teaches to stop berating once you’ve achieved compliance. You’re like an internet cop right now, continually beating once compliance has been achieved. Basically, STFU.13 points

Full text Hello Charlie,I am a pediatric cancer doctor and I study communication and ethical decision making in medicine. Yesterday, I realized that a central concept from my field can help to explain why so many appear to accept the president's lies: mutual pretense. The president has a relationship with his base in which he lies, he knows he lies, they know he lies, but none of them acknowledge the lie, because the lie provides them with stability and comfort. Recognizing mutual pretense matters, because attempts to shine light on the deception often lead to resentment towards the person shining the light. Mutual pretense was first discovered by Glaser and Strauss, two anthropologists who observed conversations between doctors and patients with cancer in the the VA in the 1960s.(Their first paper showed a breathtaking lack of bedside manner - see attached) In the 1970s, Myra Bluebond-Langner found the same thing in a pediatric cancer ward. (see her book, "The Private Worlds of Dying Children") For some parents and children, this mutual pretense was central to their relationship. It allowed each of them to protect the other and avoid a difficult truth. Most importantly, attempts to force the families to address hard truths often backfired on the physician, leading to decreased trust and greater frustration. I have known about this literature for years, but a recent encounter with a loved one suggested that a similar phenomenon is happening with some of the president's most fervent supporters.Last week, I was talking with a loved one about COVID-19 and the real challenges we face as a country. As she laid out hopeful statements (hydroxychloroquine will prevent the disease, we will have a vaccine in the next few months, scientists will find a preventive medication soon), I continued to highlight the impediments to each of these hopes (hydroxychloroquine is a dud, vaccines take a long time to develop and often fail, preventive medication for 100 million people is hard to imagine). I also explained that the president is lying and failing to show leadership. My loved one did not agree (to say the least). After arguing back and forth for a few minutes, she raised her voice and nearly yelled, "Don't you think I know how bad things are? Don't you think I understand that we have a lot of problems? Don't you think I know all of this? I can't focus on these negatives all the time because I have to live somehow." Then it struck me - she knows the same things I know. She knows that that we are in a tough spot. She knows that hydroxycloroquine probably won't work. She knows that preventive medicine is probably a fantasy for the general population. She knows that the president is not being honest with her - but she accepts this deception because it helps her to cope. When I forced her to acknowledge these truths, her faith in the president did not waiver. Her relationship with me, however, was strained. If many of the president's faithful maintain mutual pretense with him, then how do we address his lies? While highlighting the falsehoods can help those willing to be convinced, this might actually drive the president's base closer to him. Perhaps the answer is framing the difficult news as reason for hope. Rather than focusing on the failure of hydroxychloroquine, focus on the multiple clinical trials that are a real source of hope. Instead of saying, "The president is lying about hydroxychloroquine," perhaps we can say, "I really wish the president would not focus on hydroxychloroquine, because it is distracting from other really promising clinical trials." We can frame his lie as an assault on a greater hope, a hope that acknowledges the harsh reality but promises to push toward better days. We never would have made it to the moon if we didn't realize how hard it would be. This approach might allow individuals to re-calibrate their goals and hopes. Whether this works is an empirical question, but nothing else has helped... Maybe it's worth a shot.Thanks for your time.Best,Bryan Sisk, MD, MSCI12 points

They'll do it when you put your money where your mouth is and replace every dollar of his donations. Deal? And by "YOU" people I'm referring to the Drew Brees of the world who bemoan about their grandfathers on the beaches of Normandy being disrespected when someone kneels yet many of them sat idly when Trump mocked a POW, mocked a Gold Star family and is currently mocking one of the most revered US generals in modern history. Can you one of you hypocrites explain this cognitive dissonance?12 points

America is too dumb to understand what liberalism is in the original sense of the word, the sense the author is using. 45 percent of the country sees "liberal democracy" and cheers openly for its downfall.12 points

EMAW is the perfect example of what's wrong with modern "conservatism." You don't want to "fight" the "liberal agenda," you want to find alternative and compromise solutions to real problems that are more efficient, less costly, and don't delegate all responsibility for everything to the federal government. You don't say "everything's fine" when it's clearly not. This whole obstructionist, "turn back the clock" crap is where the conservatives went violently wrong. They were wrong on other things, too. But from a really big picture standpoint, that's it.11 points

Unitary Executive Theory added to a Congress ceding authority to the Executive Branch has been an utter disaster for this nation. Congress needs to do their job and reduce the power of the Presidency/Executive. The checks and balances are out of whack.10 points

I was GOP up until it came time to vote for the second term of GWB. I'm pretty ashamed of having been duped by their myths for a long time. It would take a lot for me to ever consider voting red again. -Climate change is real -We have a health system crisis -Our policing needs reform -Gun violence is out of control -The tax system is going in the wrong direction and furthering the class divide -Education needs to be overhauled -Etc Not only has the GOP willfully ignored self-evident issues, they seem to be determined to go in the wrong direction. Somehow it also astonished me how easily R leaders bent the knee and looked the other way WRT to Trump's behavior. Shameful. You bring up a good point on local vs. national elections. I will definitely be more involved and better informed starting at the local level going forward. Signed, -MIddle-age middle-class gun-owning truck-driving white male Texan10 points

It’s an amazing thing watching cultists snap out of their trance. And the beauty is: once they flip, confirmation bias starts doing the Lord’s work. This is a time of opportunity. Your friend has decided to not support Trump and will be actively seeking reasons to justify that decision. Feed them to him. Just make sure those reasons align with his values. Don’t start jamming Obamacare and Herstory down his throat.9 points

Brees comments weren't racist so much as ignorant of the reality minorities faced when they returned from every war they've been part of in this nation. The flag is supposed to be a symbol of a nation where ALL races are equal, and are afforded equal protection under the law, and the concept of the nation that flag represents. He pretty much ignored the entire point of a black man not being so going ho for a flag when too many of it's institutions ( police departments specifically), representing the law under that flag don't like his skin color, and are allowed to get away with murder because of his skin color.9 points

Good for you that you weren’t impacted by that, and thanks for your service. I can just say as a “minority” we often don’t get the privilege of ignoring race or pretending it doesn’t exist. Many times it’s the only lens we are viewed through, even today.9 points

If you live in Massachusetts and can’t bring yourself to vote Dem, okay, I get it. if you are in Texas or another swing state, then you are defacto voting for the GOP. Especially if you are white, where your voting rights are probably not going to be challenged/contested. Don’t deluded yourself into thinking you are some profile in courage. Democracy is on the line. Silence equals consent and complicity.8 points

And this is why it’s impossible to have any meaningful discussions in this country now. Brees expressed his opinion in a manner that seemed to me to be completely reasonable without resorting to name calling. He also provided his reasoning behind his opinion. The timing may be insensitive, and you and I may completely disagree with him, but your response expressed quite well why the political system in this country is completely broken.8 points
