When my oldest was in Kindergarten, I would visit the classroom. When a kid would get fussy over something, the teacher would say, “OK <insert name here>, is this a big deal or a little deal?” She kept asking that question: Is this a big deal or a little deal? Of course to the kid, it was always a big deal. That’s why the kid was having the fit. But she was trying to give the kid some sort of perspective on how to gauge problems.
If a man walks into an emergency room with a large, deep cut on his hand, it could be very serious. But if that man was wheeled into the emergency room with a large, deep cut along with a gun wound to the chest, and the doctor started treating the cut, you would probably say: “WTF! Is this a big deal or a little deal? There seems to be more pressing issues.”
And I don’t think the Dems quite get it yet. All these grievances about Trump. All his moral failings, and his supposed lies. That’s all we hear about. He’s just a horrible person.
Maybe.
Is it a big deal or a little deal?
Every fundamental principle of western civilization is under attack. The rampant postmodernism is working to undermine even objective facts. Hate speech codes, critical race theory. The idea of “innocent until proven guilty” has been discarded by the left. The hate for free markets, and massive ideological jump to the left economically threatens physical prosperity. Good lord, we could go on and on. The left is bringing back true racism - formally!
The patient has a massive gun wound to the chest. You think I am going to care if you bring up that Trump exaggerated inauguration crowd size? If Trump is accused of fucking a goat while watching 10 whores peeing over Obama’s bed, while eating fluffy bunnies in Russian dressing - it’s still a smaller deal than what the left is doing right now.
It’s just icing on the cake that EVERY accusation leveled at Trump is also a massive untruth.

I don’t see how polls can be trusted, no matter what they are predicting. The pollsters are partisan, the people polled aren’t honest, and the news is selective.
The political polling business is now just another political tool used for influencing voters, not surveying them.

The thread has exploded...
I said:
Believe it or not, I really like posts like this one. There is an attempt to state... something. You don’t like Trump - got it. And you are trying to say “here’s a problem” - great. But it brings with it a plethora of strange implications.
What does it mean to “completely act in accordance to federal politics”? Above you said that his lack of acting in accordance to “federal politics” is his “biggest weakness”.
Is there a list of rules called “code of federal politics”? Can you list, perhaps, some violation of this code that causes “weakness”?

How about his actions of trying gain information from other countries against his political opponents in the US. ?
The reason why the US is so divided and volatile right now is because his ideological political policies.
How about his many acts of contrived dishonesty on many important subject matters like the Covid virus, Global warming, the wall that Mexico was suppose to pay for, the number of attendance at his inaugural day, just to name a few ???
You list three items above. Did you notice that the first and third were quickly de-bunked. However, I think #2 has a point. And it sheds some light on why we don't care about all the endless character complaints about Trump : It's not about Trump. Its about political policies that might be implemented. Come on - RGB dies and the left melts down. Why? Did Trump grab her by the pussy? No, be honest - the left makes law from the bench. The left pushes its political, social, and economic ideology from the judicial branch. The left views the constitution as "living" and ever-malleable. Faced with the prospect of losing the supreme court as a second legislature, you see the mask slip a bit in the last few days.
The left was making, what it thought was, significant process toward "fundamental change" - and then Trump happened. It isn't about him. It's about the "progress" that was halted.
Utopia as so close...
Also, a good portion of this is the postmodern view of the world - steeped in critical race theory. Trump's election, to those that believe in CRT, just confirms there is a massive white supremist epidemic sweeping the nation. It is the foundation of a lot of the TDS.

@TD: I think the answer to your question, at least for me, is “No”.

His biggest weakness is that he doesn't completely act in accordance to federal politics, which always gets him into trouble.

The Power Of Unconditional Love
by 1234 inthe most powerful love in the universe is unconditional love.. a love that has no requirements or conditions.
no actions are necessary to receive it.. this love is all around us and can be easily seen.
watch any mother with its new born baby.

Yes, I guess that's the case if you don't get it.
So, one of the reasons you’ve been getting push back is because there seems to be platitudes stacked upon weak definitions. When you say “unconditional” it means “without conditions”. Conditions can be anything - literally anything.
The vast majority of "love" on this planet is conditional love. Meaning if you do "this or that" Then I will love you.
That is one form of conditional love. It’s a form of affirmative condition. There could be negative conditions too - “Don’t do X or else I won’t love you”. For example, if you marry a woman, love the woman, and then one day come home to find her banging the neighbor it puts a damper on things. Perhaps you then find out she has been sleeping lots of other men, and the one child you have together isn’t really yours, yet she pursues you in court for alimony and child support. Are you saying that if the man really had “true” love, it wouldn’t be conditional? The man would just continue to love her? The condition in this case negative is: “Don’t fuck other guys” (among others).
In the example of mother and child the condition is the biological relationship shared. After all, the mother doesn’t have that love for other babies.
In your statement above (“Meaning if you do ‘this or that’ Then I will love you.”), you are really citing a form of emotional manipulation. It is very similar to “If you love me, you will have sex with me.”) I would agree that isn’t really loving - it is manipulation.
You divide love up into two categories “conditional” and “unconditional”. And the “unconditional” kind you associate with manipulation. You are conflating ideas.
If that is the only kind of love you know of how do you explain unconditional love to someone.... you can't, there is point of reference.
You can use words. It’s possible. Write more descriptive sentences. See what happened when you tried to expound above? Suddenly it seemed clear you were conflating ideas.
Yet it exist.... believe in it or not.
Sure, if you mean “manipulation-free love”. That definitely exists. That’s exists in the majority of relationships. The manipulative kind is, by definition, dysfunctional.

"Jesus wept"
How do you explain other dimensions to people locked into a 3-D world?
What is that supposed to mean? Are you claiming that you perceive truths beyond our grasp?
The Power of Unconditional Love
We don’t know much, but what we do know is that the power of love is a curious thing. It makes one man weep and, yet, another man sing. It doesn’t take money, nor fame. You don’t need a credit card to ride that train. It’s strong and sudden, and cruel sometimes. But, in the end, it might just save your life.

Yeah, I went through about 50% of it. It doesn’t look like any information is requested that might personally identify you, and it is hosted at a known survey management site.
Nevertheless, I think it is a positive sign that the first “gut” reaction was skepticism and a suspicion of a fraud/scam.

This survey was also posted some time ago on reddit.
It's legit and I have answered the questions.
I wasn’t going to do it. But since it has been posted on Reddit, it must be safe.
