KristiD Posted October 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 I posted this yesterday in the spirit of love and goodness, and am disappointed to see that it's now been hijacked by Trump haters in their quest to upset pro-Trumpers. Yesterday I posted the following in another thread. I strongly encourage Trump supporters to read it and think really about what I'm saying here. It is futile to argue with people who get off on arguing. All is does is drag you down, and worse maybe even puts you in a bad mood while you're with your loved ones and friends so you take it out on them. Why let people you don't even know control you like that? Seriously, why? ******************************** Lastly, I want to comment about the animosity that is taking place between a few never-Trumpers here with a good number of us pro-Trumpers. I've come to believe that some of the never-Trumpers have an entirely different agenda than the pro-Trumpers and it's impossible to have a rational dialog with them. They're not interested in facts. I've been thinking about it and I've decided that their agenda is likely one of the following: 1) They are passive aggressive and they like pushing people's buttons so they can then criticize them for loosing their cool. 2) They enjoy the feeling of power over other people by being able to make the pro-Trumpers angry. 3) They hate Trump so much (TDS) that they will figuratively cut off their nose to spite their face. In their hatred for Trump, they are now choosing an incapacitated candidate who will greatly increase taxes - just as they, themselves are likely on the verge of becoming wealthy from the RV. Their Trump hatred controls them to the extent they're choosing to give up tens of thousands - or hundreds of thousands of dollars - or maybe even more - of their new found wealth to taxes. That is pretty irrational and it's proof that rationality doesn't matter to these people. And if that's not bad enough, beyond that, they are advocating for socialism in the U.S. and getting rid of all the freedoms that made the great Republic of the United States the place most of the world dreams of living in. These people are nuts and it's not worth our time to interact with them, in my opinion. So to every pro-Trumper who, like me, has had their buttons pushed by these TDS, never-Trumpers, I encourage you to walkaway from them. I don't even read S's or C's comments anymore. There is no winning with these people because they are playing an entirely different game than us, one where logic and facts don't apply. Arguing and making other people angry is their objective, is that your objective too? The quality of our life is made up of how we feel most of the time. I like to be happy, positive and grateful. And I don't like feeling angry and frustrated. When I let myself get upset by these people, I don't feel good. I'm not gonna let these unknown people do that to me anymore, and I suggest my fellow pro-Trumpers not do that anymore, either. Then, when these crazies realize they can't push people's buttons anymore, they'll undoubtely go somewhere else where they find new people to do that to. jmho 1 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedagal Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Great post, KristiD. FYI, I dislike the constant argumentative banter on much of DV and do not participate. But, the Bible tells us to be ever ready to give an account of our faith. If I can speak into a situation when God is prompting me, I will do so. That does not mean I am upset. I am truly sad for those who don't get it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO RV, then BV It often gets that way after one side beats the other over the head(their way or the highway) no compromise or give. There is no compromise with a liberal. It is never enough. No live and let live. I lived in a state that kept taking or wanting more and then complained Conservatives never wanted to work with them. Now Liberals out number Conservatives in the Legislative body and don't need or want their input. People get very bitter when that happens. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamala Harris' in-person campaign events have now been canceled through Sunday. That word came from Biden's campaign manager after two of her staffers, including her communications director, tested positive for coronavirus. But the presidential campaigns are continuing, full steam ahead. On the campaign trail, President Trump talked about his recovery from the coronavirus and how he needed God's help. "Masks, no masks - everything, you can do all you want, but you know, you still need help from the Boss. You need help from the Boss. That's what happened. We needed help," he said pointing up to heaven. At that rally in Greenville, North Carolina the crowd applauded when Trump said, "Somebody said to me the other day, you are the most famous person in the world by far. I said no, I'm not. No, I'm not. They say yes you are. I say nope. They say, who is the most famous? I said, Jesus Christ." Just to make it even clearer, he said, "I'm not taking any chances. I'm not going to have an argument." So he looked up to the heavens and said, "It's Jesus Christ... And let me look up and I'll say it's not even close." And First Lady Melania Trump has revealed their son Baron tested positive for coronavirus but says he is a strong teenager and has no symptoms. Thursday night, an election first unfolded in the form of a divided presidential debate with Trump and Biden participating in dueling town halls on competing networks. Pitching voters in Iowa, the President's message couldn't be clearer. "For me, to only be up six, I'm a little bit concerned. I'll tell you that," said Trump. Some polls are showing the race tight in states like Iowa that the president easily won 4 years ago. Meanwhile, early voting records are being shattered across the country. There are long lines from Tennessee to Georgia and Texas. "First time I'm voting early, but I didn't want to leave it to chance," said one voter. Thursday's town halls come after the president said he would not participate in a virtual debate with former Vice President Biden. So Biden took questions from voters in Philadelphia while the president answers voters in Miami. The Biden campaign says it raised a record $383 million in September, bringing its cash on hand to $432 million in the final stretch of the race. "I want to thank, thank, thank you for all you've done for me," said Biden. But in a new digital ad, former President Barack Obama urges Democrats not to get complacent. "It's going to be close. It could come down to a handful of voters just like you." . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a good person. I didn't vote for him in 2016 breaking my tradition of voting republican. I also didn't vote Clinton. I found both candidates to be people lacking any integrity or compassion for humanity. This year I will be voting for Biden. I'm not saying his a great person, but 4 more years of Trump will destroy America... Trump has made it his mission to divide. Our people are divided. Our allies don't respect us. He denies science. He retweets conspiracies. It is time to turn the page on this failed experiment. JMHO If you didn't vote Trump or HillDawg due to lack of integrity and compassion then what the hell are you doing voting for Biden. He won't last 6 months and then Obummer's and Soros' hand picked puppet will ascend to the highest office in the land and finished what Obummer started and the HillDawg losing delayed, and that is the final fundamental transformation of American, which is Obummer speak for socialism. Wake up man, you may not like Trump, but you DAMN sure will loath your vote for Biden in less than a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did give him credit, Sage....I thought it was a politically savvy move on his part to attend church and have fence riding evangelicals see him fanning his offering. And if he felt the Holy Spirit in doing so, that's a fantastic bonus. GO RV, then BV Edited October 21, 2020 by Shabibilicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A month or two ago I thought this was going to be a close election, but now I think you are going to see a landslide vote against Trump... The number of people voting may his greatest achievement. We are seeing record numbers of Americans vote which is a good thing, He has torn down America with his dividing tactics. He has alienated our allies. He has given billions of dollars out in corporate welfare. Hell after the billions in tax cuts, the corporations didn't invest in jobs or research, they bought buy their shares and then a few months later when business went bad, they were broke and begging for more welfare. Under his relief program, tens if not hundreds of millions meant for America's small businesses went to Chinese companies. He has attacked the people he hired. Calling them the greatest then slamming them. In fact, I think has has had more convictions of staff than any president in history including Nixon. Now he attacks Fauci after using him in his campaign commercial. He is not stable. He is not a genius. He couldn't even protect his own family from the pandemic it should be no surprise he has dropped the ball on everyday Americans. He is a blemish on the country's history. I see where he walked out of an interview with 60 Minutes.. Funny how bullies always fold. He will probably walk out of the debate too... The real question is how could anyone with eyes and a brain vote for this person? JMHO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet it was a set up job like the town hall with Savannah Guthry. And Trump handled that very well. Made her look like a partisan fool.
