Can't have a constructive conversation about this. The conservative side doesn't speak the same language as the rest of the country, or live in reality.
They are entitled to their own opinion. But these days, they live in a world where they feel entitled to their own facts. We have all heard about 'alternative facts'. And 'the truth is not the truth'.
Might as well close the thread.

Demanding Excellence since Pathetic Patricia Piddled the Pooch!
Had to drive from Kzoo to Ypsilanti today to fix the car for my daugher away at college. Furthest I've ventured since the world ended a few months ago.
Never been more worried over travel.

This enticing arguments? A cage fight? Jaysus H. 🤦♂️
Chemiclord and Deuce arguing about the Lions front office and sport in general was worth them warming up for. Could get “bitch ass” funny. Usually it “bitch ass” was.
Chemiclord and Coop discussions, based on the very limited posts so far, could become “UFC, Forum Style”. Potential for getting proper “bitch ass” ugly.
"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”
And I reckon it was some pished dude who named Ypsilanti. He burped first.
“Let’s call this place Silanti”
”Say that again? You’re mumbling.”
”Call this place Yyyip, slanti.”
“Yupslanti? Bit racist towards the Chinese is it not?”
”Wait, Wait, Yyyipsilanti.”
”Got it, guys. He’s saying Yipsilanti. I like it.”
”No, no...... I’m saying....”
”it’s ok, you rest now. We got it. Go be sick over there.”
"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”
Gee.... I came here expecting a brawl. All I see is some drunken sod trying to imitate another fictional drunken sod. This from Wiki: ...1825 under the name "Ypsilanti", after Demetrios Ypsilantis, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. See... Michigan is multicultural!
Living in Australia, I'm glad I'm seeing my former homeland from a distance. Personally I don't care for Dems or Repubs.... for my entire life, each election meant same shit. Taxes went up, wages, not so much. America needed a change, and I figured Trump might be that change factor. Before Covid, last I heard, the American economy was up. Covid might kill this pres, though the dems aren't putting up a decent candidate.
FWIW, Trump was smart enough to pick a party. The two party system is the death of democracy wherever it's in effect. You think you're getting democracy... but you've been fooled.
Aw fk, apologies. And apologies to any people from Athens, Europe who may have a drink problem and who may have taken offence ti the YuupSilanti post.
Let’s get the brawling kicked off to satisfy the masses. 👏👏👏👏👏 🤦♂️

Meh. Even in "multi-party parliamentary systems" it really becomes a two-party system at the end of the day; a majority coalition and a minority coalition.
The only practical difference is that America's system does all that coalition building BEFORE the general election rather than AFTER.
How does anyone with a modicum of intelligence stand by that guy?
By seeing Trump as a controllable quantity (he by and large has actually MANAGED like a replacement level Republican if you take away his bluster and social media presence).
