All of you were so smugly confident that Trump couldn't possibly win. All of the smart people in the media told you that Trump wasn't serious, and you dutifully swallowed it hook line and sinker. Most of you condescendingly told me I was delusional throughout the campaign. I really should go back and dig up the posts. They're hysterical
And then the election happened. Trump won by the biggest electoral majority for a Republican since 1988.
And here we are, just 3 months later, and you are all again telling me I'm delusional. You are condescendingly telling me that the American people don't want a Republican who berates the media in a press conference. You are telling me that Trump is tanking in those ever so reliable polls; and that Republicans in Congress are going to get routed in the midterms.
I'll just say, I'm happy with my track record on Trump predictions. Are you?
I agree with some of this, but where you use the word "all," you reflect Trump's inability to characterize opponents (whether they voted for him or not) as anything but an undifferentiated mass of enemies, losers if you will, all identically brainwashed into identically destructive views.
I know you're largely holding down the fort by yourself, so it must seem like swatting at a swarm of flies, but increasingly I find myself uninterested in responding to "facts" or opinions I don't agree with here, because increasingly I feel like the response to anything I say here is not responding to me, but to a broad and undifferentiated spectrum of views only tangentially related to anything I posted.
Election predictions vs. election results, popular vote vs. electoral vote, who will win the mid-terms, will Trump be re-elected or impeached, all that sounds like politics reduced to sports talk, with advanced analytics embraced or rejected. I'm more focused on whether any of this is good for the country, and whether it's good for me and mine. So far, I don't have any confidence that it is good for either one, but within my fatalistic perception, at least it is entertaining.
Fair point, montestewart. I do sometimes feel like it's me against everyone, and I unfairly attack everyone instead of the select few who really need it. I apologize.
and as the Chinese proverb goes: "we will see..."
