General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Okay, I've just got to ask. Is anyone else really pissed that idiots voted for Trump? [View all]Raster
(21,010 posts)... We both commented about how scary the public health situation looks right now, and I commented about how it's too bad we don't have a real POTUS in charge. My coworker told me he was "not a tRump* supporter," but "couldn't believe Joe Biden was the best Democrats could come up with." I told him I would GLADLY support Biden, and that, hell, I would vote for a ham sandwich over tRump, to which my co-worker responded that "his 401K looks pretty good right now." I asked "you'd vote for tRump* because your 401K is doing well"? To which he replied, "I'm a libertarian." I told him, "you realize that the piss-poor government response to this crisis is because tRump* has eviscerated vital components of our government"?
"Really, which ones?"
"Well, for starters, the pandemic response team from the CDC."
"No, he didn't."
"Ahh, YES HE DID."
At that point in time, I simply said: "this conversation is over," and walked away.
Unfortunately, what we previously knew as normal is going to be a long-time coming.
