  1. In case anyone wonders why parents are stressed the fuck out when taking their kids anywhere in public just look at this thread. You can’t win as a parent even with relatively well behaved children. If you’re not in an adults only location get the fuck over yourself and show some grace, you don’t know what those parents or kids are going through and the judgement you give from one interaction with them is very palpable and it fucking sucks and is more stressful than your mild inconvenience. a kid could be “well behaved” at a table at a restaurant and you still get judgement instead of ignored because everyone has a fucking opinion about you and your kids and their behavior, good or bad. And lord forbid if a young mother have to breastfeed their newborn. 
     

    this country has zero support for parents and children and the absolutely toxic shit you see here is part of the stressors with even taking your kids to the supermarket let alone to a restaurant or on a plane to see family or god forbid a “vacation” or taking any kind of break. And I get it, you may ignore the kids or parents or whatever, but this ain’t a one on one interaction. The culture is very much “children should not be seen or heard” when in a public place that is not explicitly family or child oriented. And then in the next breath wonder why people grow up not knowing how to behave in public when they aren’t taught how to do so starting at a young age

    Remember how his aides told him not to look directly into the solar eclipse? "Mr. President sir, you should under absolutely no circumstances point a gun at your face even if you're certain it's unloaded." 

    100% chance he has an unloaded gun, pulls the trigger pointed directly at someone and then makes jokes about it. And then that person will still eat trumps shit “thank you sir I would love to be killed by your hand sir”

  3. Another case of “normal things I’d love to see trump actually do” would be handle and fire a gun. Dumbass would probably not wear ear protection or something because it would mess with his bronzer or have atrocious trigger or barrel discipline

     

    never mind actually looking like a complete wimp in general

    It really does amaze me how bad the Democrats are at messaging sometimes, too.  Sometimes it feels like it’s deliberate.

     

    Want to call out the strong support for Trump amongst racist/sexist right-wing groups?  Call everyone who’s not 100% in your camp already a ‘deplorable’.

     

    Want a stronger welfare state with more robust state provision of basic needs to help everyone?  Call it ‘socialism’, so it can be tethered to the totalitarianism of the Cold War’s communist bloc.

     

    Want to reform the police force so it’s less militarized and focused on community safety rather than constantly engaged in ‘the war on [insert illegal behavior]’?  Say you’re gonna ‘defund the police’.

     

    Want to build a coalition of blue-collar workers, the youth vote, and minorities? Assume you’ve got a lock on the first, and that the third is a monolith that will automatically vote for you if you label your opponent as a racist.

     

    Like…it’s just criminal strategic ineptitude.

     

    I would also add ‘let’s force out the blue dogs from the party and not allow any local variation or dissent on some issues like gun control’ to those other mis-steps, but that’s a more controversial one.  Either way, it’s aggravating to constantly watch the party shoot itself in the foot and alienate constituencies it’s aligned with, especially now that so much of the GOP has gone totally off the deep end.

    This post is again disconnected from the reality of elected democrats, who they are and what they say, and “people I made up” from the internet
