I call it righteous anger and disgust. I'm proud of that dude.

An opinion I didn't think was possible to exist.

How could you not feel anything other than the deepest shame and self loathing unmanning yourself like that in public and then on camera in front of the World?

It's a spontaneous natural expression of visceral disgust. I only wish I had the courage to be that expressive in public.

It's not courage, it's a total lack of will and control, it's disgusting weakness.

The clerk was not being paid to throw a temper tantrum and curse out customers and was thus rightfully fired. In the larger scheme of things it is hypocritical to criticize Trump for acting like a toddler then react by acting like a toddler.

The clerk was just stupid. I’d have to agree with that.

I don’t believe in refusing service to people unless they’re acting out and abusing other customers or staff.

Not for Indians / Native Americans.

Not for all those homeless people.

Not for all those millions of meth or opiate addicts.

Not for all those other people for whom the "American dream" turned out to be an "American nightmare".

No doubt.

Do you think Trump is making it “great” for them?

Not really.

But neither was Obama.

And I don't think Hillary would have been any better either.

It's naive to believe that politicians who can actually bring "change I can believe in" can ever become president in a political system that's rotten to the core.

All politics is “rotten to the core.”

Whether left or right, centrist or whatever.

I just advocate for myself and my friends, and seek to adopt an ethical attitude towards people in general.

Politicians are stuck in the cycle of greed and the will to power. Rarely is one able to break away.

It’s better to deal with your life on the microcosmic, rather than the macrocosmic level.

Think in concrete practicality, rather than abstract theory.

All politics? Not so sure about that.

"Democracy", however, is sure to make produce the worst possible leaders.

It's what I do as well.

It's the only level I have any impact on anyway...

This thread contains plenty of hysteria about the MAGA hat.

viewtopic.php?t=372565

It's the notion that everyone who wears the hat is terribad, it's like you people want them to be bad people. That there's nothing they could do to change your mind, you don't want to change your mind, you want them to be bad.

Teens often conform because they get bullied for being different. People may wear the hat to avoid being victimized.

Or they may avoid wearing the hat for the exact same reason.

Yeah, but not at a largely conservative Catholic school.

Total BS. We desperately need good faith politics to manage a modern Democratic society.

We need people to transcend politics.

We’re not doing that now.

It’s why I wouldn’t, and won’t wear any shirts showing I like guns, or any politicial ideas, nor share any of my beliefs out of fear.
