His judgment is based on a metaphysics we don't share and which in my opinion has no business within a gazillion miles of the voting booth, but we can't escape our worldview nor should we.

    It's not evil to be single issue Pro Life.

    I don't think it's either stupid or crazy either. I don't agree with either the logic or the morality of the Pro Life movement, but neither represents either a lack of thinking or a break from reality. At worst Pro Lifers are ignorant and mistaken, but even that doesn't quite capture it. They take their beliefs seriously, and we should not demonize that. The beliefs themselves may be based on faulty assumptions, poor parenting, lack of access to the human knowledge that has been built up since 1500, but that's no longer a matter of ontology, it's epistemology, and there is simply no fighting over that. Here they stand, they can do no other.

    I would remind you that that sort of single mindedness, when turned to the good, makes heroes. It is the sort of thing that gives people the strength to tell the truth in a culture of lies, or stand up against an injustice that has been unconsciously accepted by society. That's not where the problem lies.

    I fully understand that the hill these folks have chosen to make their stand on is, well, poorly conceived. But the fact that they make a stand is admirable. Yes, they're wrong. But if you believed what they do you would do well to act as they do.

    Now, given all the other things that tend to matrix with those beliefs, they also usually wind up being big, fat hypocrites. But that's a different mater.

            Thankfully those days are behind me. I’m almost certainly going D next year and am completely disgusted with Trump and the Republican Party right now.

Because I am willing to bet the farm that IF trump loses in 2020, he will attempt to go the coup route. We have seen and heard enough evidence that is how he operates. We also have seen zero evidence that republicans in the house and senate give the first 5h!t about the nation and the constitution, so don't look to them for help when trump refuses to vacate the oval office.
                  The Secret Service is not bound to the POTUS. Those men and women work to protect all elected officials, candidates for office during elections, and families of said people, if the government needs to be concerned with the family. The one person I knew who was Secret Service was adamant that they would rotate through assignments fairly often so as to not grow personal attachments to a protected person/family. (This person was assigned to GWB's family for a time when he was in office.)

                    It's funny how certain posters here are starting to sound like the Democratic Underground boards during the peak of Bush hysteria.

                      I think the nation will collectively hold their breath from November 2020 to January 2021 if a Democrat wins. You might actually be able to hear a collective exhale when he leaves. Which I'm still convinced he will if he loses. Doesn't mean I won't be one of those holding their breath.

                            Remember: he's a coward. Dump's entire bit is he bluffs until he meets opposition; then he caves like a cheap lawn chair.

                            The danger is some of his psychos will hear his lying as a call to arms but even then it might not be the worst thing for them to Darwin themselves out of the republic.
