Why do so many people dislike President Trump? Can't they just give him a chance?
It's hard, as a woman, to like someone who is a misogynist, a charlatan, a bully, a fool, a person who has no moral compass, a person who doesn't take the office he was elected to seriously, who believes that he and his family are above the law and for whom the only time he is not lying is when his lips aren't moving. It was getting old before he took the office of the President; now it's just tiring to observe.It's interesting that Republicans want everyone to give Trump a chance, but after Obama won the election in 2008, Eric Cantor and crew met over lunch and made a pact to vote down everything Obama put forth after he was sworn into office. No one cared that he wasn't given a chance from day one; no one cared that the Affordable Care Act was voted down 67 times after it became the law of the land, by GOP aficionados who had nothing to offer and still don't!I don't feel sorry for this buffoon. He's only working with the Dems now - Chuck and Nancy - because he is paying back McConnell and Ryan for not getting more bills through congress and refusing to play ball with him on the ACA rewrite. They met without inviting one Dem into the room and when they couldn't iron out a new bill or program - McConnell suddenly wanted to invite Dems to be a part of the mix.People are tired of the game-playing that has gone on for the last 8+ years and having Donald the Trumpanzee-in-Chief as the Republican standard-bearer is only adding fuel to the fire.There's more, but I think you get my drift..... Thanks for asking, George.
Why do a lot of people assume that all Democrats are the same?
For the same reason for the same reason that everyone thinks that Republicans are the same.It is a fallacy, or fault that we have anthropologically as humans to herd or group together with others of like mind, and then find ways to either scorn or dehumanize others who have differing opinions.For example, the way the Nazis came to power was to blame everything on another group. In order to purge this group from society, they killed them off, but not before dehumanizing them in order to ease the conscience when killing other humans. This way, it wasn’t murder. Police do the same thing, thinking that everyone is guilty, they just haven't been caught yet.This is the same thing that soldiers do when at War. They don't think of the other guy having a family and children and a household they have to support and living a life as they do. Instead, it is far easier to think of them as dehumanized, animals, just things or objects that need to be eliminated like bugs.It's a fascinating subject, and well worth at least a little bit of reading so you can understand a bit about how a herd mentality can create mobs for destruction, or make neighborhoods safer.They can even be made to act against their own best interests and get someone appointed against the majority’s will.
Do Republicans hate Obama because he's black?
Did you see the tea party "veterans" who spoke after Ted Cruz did his grandstanding in front of the barricaded memorials? Saying things like, "Obama needs to put the Koran down, and get up off his knees."? How appalling is it, that these imbeciles are *STILL* pushing the racist garbage and Muslim crapola? Trump was *still* beating the birther dead horse in 2012. Then they swear it's NOT about racism. If it's NOT about racism.......then WHY all the racist rhetoric?
Cantor Set Middle Fifths?
Describe the Cantor middle fths set. Begin with [0 ,1] and successively remove the middle fth of each subinterval. Show that this Cantor set also has length 0. Prove that the 'number' of points in this Cantor middle fths set is the same as the 'number' of points in [0, 1]
The Cantor Prestige Class?
I've seen referenced a few times in a few books and other sources "The Cantor" prestige class for bards. Is there an actual write-up for this class, or is it all player made?
Will Ann Coulter be proven correct with her strategy to "hang one to encourage the others" in the wake of Eric Cantor's political demise?
If she is correct (and her track record isn’t that great) then the GOP will be ceding future elections to the Democrats.The demography of the United States is changing. While the Tea Party and its supporters resent and fear that fact, it is indeed, a fact. That means that “punishing” powerful candidates who nominally support your platform for slight differences in ideology is a losing strategy,especially over issues which are either viewed to be necessary or which aren’t on the collective radars of the demographic which you desperately need to maintain political relevance.The GOP needs Latinos and women. And most Latinos and women either support or are neutral towards amnesty. If the Tea Party and conservatives feel that they can continue to maintain power by alienating groups who they need to fill out their membership in the future, then they are driving their party toward ruin.For GOP’s sake, they’d better hope that Coulter is wrong. If they allow a minority of not only their own party but of the American electorate overall decide their future, they’ll make it easier for the Democrats to retain the Senate, regain the House and ultimately hold onto the White House.By the bandits “hanging” one of their own bandit leaders, they risk creating a situation where they find themselves without a gang. Or, in this case, up a very dirty creek sans a means a propulsion.
