The only thing I would personally know of had I not been watching the news would be 90 day The federal hiring freeze and that's hardly the end of the world.

I guess you aren't Muslim, an immigrant/green card holder, or a refugee, or have any of them in your world outside the news. Even at my church we discussed the impact of these policies and how we should respond as Christians given Jesus's commandment to love thy neighbor as thyself.

If you whistle when you go past the graveyard, nothing bad will happen. Like if I ignore the efforts to repeal the Great Recession financial regulations, Wall Street totally won't wreck the economy again, and my retirement money will be fine.

Are you able to articulate how they are detrimental? A lot of liberals seems very emotional right now but unable to discuss what changes have been made or what exactly has happened that they have a problem with. Of course there is the ban on people from seven countries but how is that detrimental to this country? It can only hurt America to let these people in.

Agree 100%. Also, there were Obama policies that conservatives feel were detrimental to this county, yet you didn't see conservatives being disrespectful to the president or whining as if the world was going to come to and end. Rather we made the best of it, continued to love our country and voted when it was time. I find it shocking how liberals are offended that there is at least half the population that disagrees with them on things like border security and abortion. News flash, your view is not the only view and not the current majority.

This is an outright lie. Some conservatives spent the past eight years whining, making threats, trashing Obama, criticizing Michelle, and judging his children. It's silly to pretend that you all threw your hands up in defeat and meekly waited for Obama's term to end.

Yeah but this is a new level of hysteria that was not seen after Obama got elected. I mean people are apoplectic and I would wager that for 95% of them life will change very little under Trump.

I think the difference here is that the anti-Trump people actually care about people outside of their immediate family/social circle. Those who support Trump/hated Obama don't give a crap about anybody but themselves (unless that person is currently a ball of cells in a woman's uterus).

I'm a white, Christian, with a well-paying stable job and get my health insurance through work. For me, personally, maybe my taxes will be lower under Trump's plan (but who the hell knows since he lies constantly) but I don't mind paying taxes. Because I actually care about the people who will be and are being hurt by Trump's policies.

Yeah, right, uh huh.

Good for him. I'd want you to sleep in a separate bedroom too.

Ugh, I am SO sorry. That is maddening.

Conservatives love the word "hilarious" for some reason.

Maybe he's working and taking care of your family and paying taxes?

Lots of people with jobs and responsibilities have to focus on those real world things, and can't use their brain space obsessing about the government.

+1

No one is saying that you can't be concerned, or talk about it. It sounds like your DH is just mature enough to understand that there is little value is constantly fretting over things that he cannot control.

Actually, short of SCOTUS, Republicans did throw their hands up in defeat for 8 years. That's why we have Obamacare and the Iran deal and dozens of crappy policies. No one protested, no one burned anything.

Can't just brush that off.

OP and her post are hilarious.

Did you get that, OP? If your husband doesn't agree with PP, he is a moron and a bigot.

You know how when you repeat a word over and over it starts to sound funny? And almost loses it's meaning? That's how I'm starting to feel about "racist', "misogynist", "xenophobe", "bigot", and even "idiot" and "moron".

Please stop with the name calling. It's getting you nowhere.
