has it hurt our environment?
Very much so, hope and pray it won't be severe and cures fast. No long lasting effects.Have you seen the extra toxicity being posted around the web and certain news media sites? They are so excited it seems to hear this news and posting scenarios if the President can no longer lead the country. It is sickening. Then you got people on social media chanting and praising this horrible news and saying they hope he dies. It is disgusting. The left is absolutely disgusting. I'm a centrist with both left and right tendencies, but the left is being absolutely disgusting and their actions are appalling. You should never wish ill on anyone.
I don't think disease and death should be things anyone celebrates no matter who it is that is sick or dying.
However, as an "...absolutely disgusting..." leftist myself, I can't let the latter comments slide without offering some of my thoughts. First -- though this should be obvious -- not everybody on the left is praising this news and hoping that Trump dies.
I agree it's pretty appalling that anyone is praying for the President's death, but the way you've worded your criticism seems to be an attempt to dismiss left-wing politics itself and not the people actually making those remarks. This is particularly bad because you're claiming to speak from a "centrist" position, which -- if true -- would give you a more "objective" opinion. However, if your opinion was objective, why involve politics in it at all? Why not just call out the people on social media for being bad people? Why try and denigrate "the left" as a whole? By framing this as a moral failure of "the left," you're not being "centrist" at all -- it's a completely right-wing perspective.
I also don't want you to feel like I'm attacking you personally, Rainberry. But the comments you made are unfair to people like me.
I never called you disgusting and I wasn't grouping all leftwing/democrats/etc.
I am a centrist. I don't know your values or what you think, nor do you know mine. So there is no reason to question where my train of thought is coming from. I am not "claiming" anything about my positions. I know what I am.
The same should go for right wing people too, I am not personally attacking all of them. Though the right... they don't ever say anything here if they are feeling slighted. They take it on the chin and just keep chugging along.
You are attacking me though, even if you don't want me to feel like you are. So I guess we are even if you feel my comments were unfair to you.
I probably won't be responding more than this and I might disappear from politics again. Nothing personal. Hope you have a nice week and I am glad we agree on the speedy recovery of the President. I am sure you and I agree on way more than you think, even though I am a centrist.
