Don't worry, maybe not the next term, but a Republican will win the Presidency again, and then we can switch to that name. Replace Donald Trump with Paul Ryan, or Mike Pence, or Newt Gingrich, or Sara Palin. The repulsion will be the same.
- Sangermaine 9y agoA dishonest libertarian, what a surprise. Everyone, even Republicans, agrees that Trump is an anomaly. Liberals didn't like Romney, for example, but they didn't believe he was simply incompetent and incapable of basic governance in the way they do Trump. It's an almost childish view of the world to think that the fact that sometimes your side doesn't win means people should or will abandon faith in the ability of government to provide services. The very point of democracy is that you accept that sometimes you're not going to win.
- Consultant32452 9y agoI absolutely LOVE that you've defined "win" here as associating with the person you as an individual desire to associate with. I wonder if we could devise some sort of mechanism by which each individual person could be free to choose this on their own, then everyone could win.
