Selectively withholding FEMA funds of Blue states because of policy disagreements. Literally, he's willing to have Americans killed who disagree with him.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you do (or more likely don't) realize that for many of those people, watching the government burn the country down is actually preferable to the status quo?

If you work at McDonalds, the stock market dropping a years growth in a couple of days really doesn't mean much. It'll have to go to actual "crash" levels before those people are affected.

Many people have come to the conclusion that the government is hopelessly corrupt, run by old white men, and completely out of their power to effect meaningfully. Well, until now.

So bravo! You fucked up the government so much that literally burning it all down became a valid option to some people. Yep, democrats too, not just republicans.

Both sides are not the same. They are both corrupt though. We could have had Bernie.

It is comforting to know that you would rather accuse random strangers than do a god damn thing about your broken government.

It was broke before I got here, and it'll be broke long after. Because you can't act like an adult for 2 seconds and even acknowledge the reality around you. THIS IS WHY the US government is broken, because 2 people that almost certainly have more in common than in difference can't even have a conversation about why some people are dissatisfied with the status quo.

You're god damn right I am. I served my country, and I voted against Trump all 3 times. What's that make you?
