    2/3rds of the country endorsed this, or decided they were okay with it happening and did nothing to stop it.

    And no, im not calling it Stockholm Syndrome when that’s total BS made up to cover for incompetent negotiators and hostage rescue.

          Centrist politics are going up in smoke across the western world and liberals still refuse to see that their rigid adherence to the status quo has failed to address the issues of the day. They’ll never accept their contribution to the resurgence of fascism.

      Yeah, trump announced he would do this many times during the election (and his first term). The american people chose this. Twice. At least there is no war in the middle east…

        Very true. Also, every single spit-flinging accusation from magas has turned out to be pretty much what they were already doing, would do, or were planning to do.

        … And they were BIG on accusing their opponents of cheating and rigging elections…
