Arguing about Trump at Christmas

[Cellblock2429]

If you start to get into an argument about "Trump" at a family get-together, here a suggestion that might help to defuse some of the tension.

Try to break it down into bite-sized pieces. "Do you want to argue about Trump as a person and - say - a potential Sunday school Teacher?" That discussion can bring a lot of people together, because even the most ardent Trump supporters can have fun discussing his sexual escapades, his sophomoric tweets, his hair, and other potentially "fun" topics.

"Do you want to discuss Trump's record as a President, specifically whether he is doing (or trying to do) what he promised on the campaign trail?" This is also something that can be discussed rationally, It doesn't matter whether you LIKE what Trump is doing; is he doing what he said he would do - or doing his best to get it done?

"Do you want to discuss Trump's current legal problems?" Again, this is a subject that can be discussed rationally, and there is no actual conclusion, since the Mueller report is still a nothing, none of the other real and specious accusations have been adjudicated in any valid forum, and the laws are fairly well understood (by those who choose to try).

"Do you want to discuss Trump and immigration?" "...the claims that Trump is a 'racist'?" "...Trump and global warming?"

If these topics can be isolated, it might be possible to have a rational discussion.

But of course, one must always keep Ben Shapiro's Rule #1: Don't argue with someone who is incapable of being convinced.

/----/ Yeah... been there, done that. The Trump haters scream in your face as soon as you mention his name. No rational arguments are allowed on personal, professional, or legal. Just ORANGE MAN BAD.

He’s been throwing a temper tantrum for three years now at having lost the election by a record amount of votes.

Are you still proud of the blob?
