"A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny. And anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it."
I'm willing to try one more time with you. After that, I'll need to reclaim my time and be productive where I can.
Your point was that after electing Trump, the only thing that changes is "rhetoric, the only thing that matters to some people", and I disagreed by citing examples of how our rights were rolled back during his previous term. This means I am saying, "you're wrong - it's not just rhetoric that changes. It's also our rights as Americans."
I understand that you're severely critical of the Democratic party, but are you really willing to say that the only measurable change to our society during a second Trump term is rhetoric? It's going to get a lot of people killed, man. You should care about that.
I won't get pulled into the weeds with you. Either backpedal or admit that you were wrong, or I'm leaving the conversation.
They don't care because they will be dead before they ever see the effects of their selfishness. They will literally never have any consequence.
I'm sure they know in their hearts that their descendants will suffer and die because of what they do today, but they don't plan on ever feeling bad about it because at the end they will be safe, warm and comfortable in their beds, surrounded by their loving families, after a lifetime of luxuries. Everything to gain and nothing to lose. Why not fuck the planet?
"but"
Ssshhh no. No buts. It's not your business.
