Those of us who it affects - whether we like it or not.
You wouldn't understand.

Bro you don't care cause it affects you, you care cause it's TV. The fact that it affects you just encourages you to rationalize why you're watching in the first place.

Bro, no.
Well, honestly it's a little bit of both - but my kids are 30 and 36 so it does possibly affect them, and by extension, me and Linda.

Honestly, if the guy got 4 more years (without having to worry about re-election), how much closer to being a despot would the US be in 2024?

Honestly if he gets any closer it's because America has been getting less democratic for decades through the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. He was just crass enough to not care about maintaining plausible deniability of democracy.

Very true. I think for a large populace it's been 'entertaining' watching the dude blow up Washington and the norm.
After today I think a large enough percentage are going to realize this is not really the kind of explosions they may have imagined.
Roger Stone being convicted today on all counts was big too. He lied under oath and might end up in prison for the rest of his life.
What do you think Sonland's attorneys are telling him tonight?

Post-humously living vicariously through your children suffering through the authoritarian climate that you helped create is the definition of boomerism.

Still haven't come to terms with how stupid Americans are yet?

I think a large enough percentage don't really care about what government they live under so long as their perception of the status quo is maintained.

This is where I believe you are wrong. We'll see.
Everyone from White House staff to Joe Blow from Piscapo need to sleep
on everything that happened today.

The 'loves your ass' comment is now on the official record.
Oh man, comedians of all stripes are creaming tonight.
Trump's ego...
