That anyone thinks that Donald Trump is a decent human being, or that he’s a good President, or that he has never assaulted or harassed any women, or that he has not committed any impeachable offenses.

How many people don’t find it immediately blatantly obvious how terrible and stupid some things are (like The Last Jedi, The Force Awakens, Trump, etc).

Just about nothing. I’m not not super old. But wow have I seen some shit. With Trump in office, nothing can surprise me now.That was the only thing I was positive, could not happen. I was wrong. I underestimated America. The smart money is not only on the survival of his impeachment, but his reelection.

I guess I would be shocked, if he got removed by impeachment, or not reelected.

I’m surprised the lengths liberals will go to hate Trump. They will ignore potentially criminal acts from Dems, they will create stuff to hate, they will go to no ends to come up with bad stuff to say about him. They attack anyone that dares to show support for him, both physically and verbally. And those that attack physically are not denounced by others…the others see it as justified violence. I am shocked that many people can all be that warped.

How quickly things change for me now. I used to spend years working on things like education, my attitude, hobbies, saving, etc.. Progress was slow but steady. Then, it’s as if at 40 suddenly dozens of doors opened at the same time. Going through them is easier now too. I suppose it’s like that for most of us. It could also be that men on average mature at age 43…

The length that conservatives will go to defend Drumpf.
I am lying of course, that does not shock me one iota.
Neither does your dog-eat-dog economy, your decrepit and predatory health care system, your gun violence pandemic or your police and justice system infested by racists and psychopaths, nor your unwillingness to do anything about it, or to even acknowledge the problems.

What does shock me is the electric outlet every time I stick a fork in it.

That this country is tolerating a policy where children are separated from their parents, kept in cages and denied basic health care like hygiene products and vaccines. That shocks and disgusts me.

How easily people claim to be offended.
That a President of a world super power can commit crimes, spew hateful rhetoric and when called out claim they did nothing wrong and you just are full of hate.

My own shock has shocked me.
“Greta Thunberg has apologized for saying politicians should be put “against the wall”
