Comment on When does Trump finally start taking accountability?

  I don’t see this happening, but let’s say he reverses course and renounces all his past decisions, steps down and the USA enters a new golden age. Should we be totally against that too? For any given position, I try to keep in mind what would have to happen to make me reverse that decision. If the answer is “nothing”, then I may be missing something, or maybe I am letting my personal prejudices get in the way of what could be a good outcome.

  It’s often confusing when someone we really dislike does something we agree with, but it is a thing that can and will happen from time to time.

  I look at this similarly to how I view my atheism. If a God were to appear and demonstrate all kinds of supernatural activity and capability, I think I’d have to renounce my atheism. I don’t think that’s likely to happen, but if it did, I do have a condition where I would reverse my belief.

  Same thing with being anti-Trump. I am for now, but there are certain unlikely conditions that would make me reconsider that, should they occur.

    I would also renounce my atheism and become fully anti-theism.
    The god is clearly not benevolent, not kind, not caring. The god can go fuck themselves.

    Trumps track record over the past decades cannot be forgiven

    Condescending and insufferable: check.
