Emotionality

This does not deserve own thread, but I'm feeling philosophical and loquacious.
A good 81% of the country is completely possessed by either a slavish love or hate for Trump. The emotionality around Obama was pretty bad, but this is worse, in my opinion.
Blind love or hate as it turns out keeps one from seeing the full picture. It messes with your head, pushing out rationality.
Everyone, detach a little bit. Having this emotional investment in a politician (yes, he's been president for 4 years, he's a politician now) is not healthy.
It's good to be inspired by a politician, although I question that now too. But politics and governance should be largely kept in the realm of the rational.
All those who've claimed to be the moral betters of MAGTARDS for four years, now is the time to show it. Be better people. Stop the cycles.
My naive hope is that we can move on from that post-Trump. However, I see no signs of that.
TL,DR: Clean it up out here guysm.

I don't love Trump or any politician. I don't want a daddy (Hi H) or a nanny. I love America and think the ideals that Trump fought for are worth fighting for. Doesn't matter who.
I don't see a lot left out there that is worth even an internet battle over. No one is going to come from the outside and get beaten and eaten by the swamp again. Its not Trump that paid its the people that came to Washington with him. They either worked against him or they got put in the target
What Obama did in the transition is far too serious to shrug off. All of this will have to be accounted for and the bill is going to be steep and I'm not even talking about the craven destruction of the economy by despots
Nah I don't see anything stopping. These fucks want to put me on a list.
I haven’t seen This much confidence since Paul Wulff was hired and threw down the Gauntlet at half-time of the Apple Cup basketball game.
I've said before that I believe Trump was God's collective judgement on the collective fucktardedness of the Democratic and GOP establishments and their poor leadership since the end of the Cold War. To paraphrase Victor Davis Hanson's comments on Ben Shapiro's (FTG) recent pod: the establishment was like a cancer, and Trump was like chemotherapy - nasty and unpleasant - but a necessary cure none the less. My disagreement with him (and many here) was never about the cancer diagnosis, but whether Trump was the right course of treatment.
P.S. Biden is the not cure either IMO.
Nothing has been cured. The loss means the cancer won and you know it, I know it, and the American people know it
Romney can run in 24 who the fuck cares?

That's where most of us are who loathe what the left and their swampy friends have in mind. What's going on here is a cultural and ideological fight. Limited government, self reliance, independence, individual responsibility, individual opportunity, love of country and constitutional protections for the minority from the
mobmajority. All things we love and the left hate with the intensity of a thousand burning suns and are hell bent on upending.Romney is ded. And going back to the old (pre Trump) GOP play book ain't gonna work.
What the country needs is some of the Trump policy instincts (e.g., confront China, fix immigration, no more national building, etc) but with Reagan's political gifts. This shouldn't be that hard. Trump wins w/o Covid, so it's not like there isn't a winning formula to beat the left.
They are both dead imho, I will go back to voting libertarian party in hopes that more will follow. I would love to see them slash the spending, pull the troops back, and let all the rest of the world duke it out without us.
