Comment on I will never not be angry that we are made to believe these types of comments are genuine discourse. Why is it defeatism is always the top comment even when your talking about a pedophile president?

  In this case, the post was asking for people’s expectations regarding this story specifically, and the response is entirely valid. It’s very reasonable to think that this one news story isn’t likely to be the tipping point.

  It’s different when people reply to every story that is in any way bad for Trump with a comment about how none of it matters, nothing will change, and no one cares. As though anything that doesn’t result in Trump being immediately impeached, incarcerated, or inhumed is completely worthless. Much like how sit ups are useless because no matter how many I do today, I still won’t have a six pack when I’m done.

  All those comments do is demoralize people and discourage them from trying to support opposition to Trump in any way.

    To reiterate the question you didn’t answer:

    Are they wrong, though??

  Turns out by they you mean you. Well if you’re stupid enough and loud enough you and “they” can make yourselves be correct. Look where we are. Congratulations! You’re stupid, loud and dangerous too!

    I’m not entirely sure what point you’re trying to make here.

    Believing in the manifestation of ones own destiny is far too close to victim blaming for me.

    And for that reason, I’m out.
