The deleterious impact of Trump upon our democratic and societal norms fell heavily upon me today. I voted yes on a referendum that authorizes the Virginia legislature to adopt new congressional districts for the November 2026 elections instead of waiting to do so until after the 2030 Census. I was â and am â deeply conflicted. This vote went against my principles and my sense of what is right. That said, I recognize that what normally would be considered right â and fair â has been turned on its proverbial head. This is Trumpâs legacy â the devaluation of principles and the erasure of lines of what is right and fair.

Yes vote is going to prevail.

Here is a neat viewpoint:

Appreciating the title:

Trumpâs presidency is what evil looks like: absurd, frightening, cruel

It's a feature, not a bug, for those who support him. There is a certain personal vindication they bask in.

Stupid, selfish, racist.

I've yet to meet anyone who supports Trump who isn't some combination of those three. They will aggressively deny it, but deep down they know it's true (unless stupid is the primary trait).

I have also met dave IRL. So what is your point ?

I think that you have made the case for simply ending all political threads and ending political discussions in the forum. They no longer serve a purpose when save only 3 people disagree, lazy, Jiggz and me. The rest of you are in lockstep agreement that Trump is the problem with everything that you hold sacred to your very souls. All's that is left to do compete amongst yourself to be the angriest Trump hater and with that you feed each other's rages which goes into and endless circle. What then is the point. The horse is dead, yet you keep kicking it to make sure.

So why bother. Everyone knows where everyone else stands. There is no need for any discussion on politics here.

I don't know how many times I have to say that I already know that no one is going to change their mind on anything. That is and never was what I am about. Just bringing the POV that no one else has to counter some of the stuff that you all post. I have said this over and over again and everyone just ignores that and says what you said above, which is completely untrue.

Since you all don't want a counterpoint of any kind then there is no more need for poly threads here anymore. They just serve and feed the rage already in you. Is that what you really want to do ? Stay permanently enraged until Trump's term is over ?

you project a hell of a lot of your own mindset onto others.

How about looking for some nuance in this pub community? You might be surprised just how much diversity there is. It's not all just pro-Trump and anti-Trump.
In fact that is a yardstick that I'm guessing most people here are totally sick of. I know I am.

Well, it's like this. No, I am not a glutton for punishment. I am however, the last conservative voice here willing to post those kinds of views. All the others have been run off by way of a concerted well coordinated effort to silence that point of view from even being posted anywhere here. When I finally do leave here, either by death or personal decision, there will be no counterpoint to the very well established echo chamber of leftist ideology that dominates here. I consider it as a public service to the 70 million voices who share a similar POV with me that no one here wants to even admit exists as anything remotely legitimate. So with that I take all the slings and arrows shot at me, knowing that they are coming. I get it, but they are becoming more personal than based upon any policies or POV's I post. All with the blessing of the team. For example, there has yet to be one direct comment about dave's admission of his contempt for me and his trolling with the sole purpose of pissing me off.

There is no coordinated effort against you & there is no team. That is a paranoid delusional idea you carry around to justify your martyrdom. You attack and goad people & then damn them for reacting to you. You hate Dave while trying to enlist the rest of us against him? I’ve met him in real life & know him to be a mellow, nice guy. Good luck with that. He’s as free to post his views here as are you. That you imagine he’s specifically posting them at you is your problem, not his. That this Forum is has a predominantly liberal audience is by pure chance. Perhaps it’s the music or the tone of being a Paradise set 25 years ago. We don’t get together behind your back to coordinate attacks against you. Frankly, you don’t matter that much. Nor do I. Nothing me or anyone else can say will convince you that there is no grand conspiracy against you. Carry on you wayward soldier, tilt at your windmills if you must. Meanwhile, you have the president & regime you want doing the things you support. Is that not enough for you, or do you really think you can change minds that don’t agree with you? I believe you relish the battle & will die on that hill.

Before I address your post I'll deal with this and move on.

This is between me and dave.

I know you want a piece of me, too. Careful what you wish for.

We can all disagree about things without making it personal. That is the only thing I seek.

Dude, this is a public internet forum. You don't get to dictate terms and you don't scare anyone here.

No, this is not a public forum. It is a private members only forum with rules in place made by our hosts. Being here is a privilege, not a right.

My understanding is that vance won't do anything to remove him from office until after the midterms because to do so would mean the rest of this term would count as vance's first term in office. I maybe don't have the explanation quite right but that's the general idea. The power is more important to vance than what is best for the country.
