    If this happens one or two hundred more times there might be maybe serious sort of consequences!

    after Donald Trump targeted them on social media.

    …while, as a former president, being protected by the Secret Service at taxpayer expense.

    That just ain’t right.

        One of my favorite quotes:

        “The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

          Gotta cite it – Douglas Adams. (Didn’t have to even look it up, it’s one of my favorites too)

      I would say that something slower and more painful is in order, but he’s old, and frankly, expediency benefits us all at this point.

    If they come to his house with rifles, the judge will seriously consider checking that their safetys are on.

    People are very eager to throw their lives into the volcano for him. My only question is why do people want to do this for a reality TV personality and a man who looks like a chimney sweep at the nacho factory?

      Because they are acting/thinking irrationally. I’m not entirely sure what the solution to that is except to gently, slowly, and dispassionately ask small binary questions to lead them in explaining their thought processes until they’ve explained far enough that they admit the position they hold is fundamentally rooted in irrational emotion rather than logic.

      At that point, they ultimately have a choice to make. They can admit they are being irrational, embrace it, and continue to act irrationally intentionally, or they can change their position.

      I think this approach to conversation is infinitely more productive than both sides just yelling past each other and neither side actually speaking the same language.
