This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's very disheartening. by Revue Party
I categorically disagree with the assertion below that "Trump is not the problem." Trump's the problem. He's the leader who's stoked this. That said, I have a hard time not lumping his supporters into the basket of deplorables.
2016 could've been seen as naive. 2020 was bad. Voting for him now, given everything he's done and said he wants to do? I'm sorry, that's a moral issue for me. He's a traitor. They're supporting a traitor who cravenly opposes everything we're supposed to hold dear as a nation. He's the modern day Benedict Arnold.
They've been ripe to be led, but he's done the leading. They're bad. But they're nothing without him. This is a healthy opportunity to embrace "and."
As for the data and DeSantis, he'll just have to jump back into his clown car.
