Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

TDS


For anyone who doesn’t know what that is, it stands for Trump Derangement Syndrome.  It means, you have it bad and that ain’t good. 

No, not that kind of bad, as in, say, “unrequited love” bad.  Rather, you are obsessed with (I’ll call it) “hating all things Trump.”  You can hardly stand even hearing his crude, simpleton's voice, or seeing his ugly orange pancake-makeup’d face.  And that about sums it up for me; it’s that bad for me.  Yeah, I got TDS. 😵

When I think of my disgust with Trump and those who don’t get it, the following comes to mind:

“If you find yourself losing your head, while some others around you are not, then chances are good that they haven’t really grasped the seriousness of the situation.”

Okay, so I used a little poetic license there, versus the original saying.  But you get my point.  (Or maybe you don’t. 😮)  Point being, everyone should also be losing their heads, not just me!

So here are the questions:

  1. Have some of us over-reacted to Trump, these last 5-ish years?
  2. Should any of us still be screaming from the rafters about him?  Is he still that dangerous?
  3. With Trump’s coffers ($85M) being fuller than the RNC's themselves ($84M), how much more political damage do you anticipate from Former Guy?
  4. Is my reflecting on the situation just giving him/it more oxygen here?

Pick and choose, or answer all of the questions as you see fit.

Thanks for posting and recommending.
