Not much meaningful discussion when you have such a devotion to a cult of personality and it's propaganda machine (Faux News and it's like). We see the same thing with Scientology (near by Clearwater FL.) and their cult leader Davis Miscavage.
You attack the leader or it's lying misinformation campaign (fake news) and people have a hard time admitting they've been duped. It's human nature (flawed for sure). Some call it brainwashing.
We will recover from this. Although I believe this president is worse than Nixon, we will recover from this. The following quote is relevant today just as it was 47 yeas ago. At that time we had a president who said the press was the enemy of the people.
Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black wrote the 6-3 majority opinion in favor of the N.Y. Times / Washington Post (against Nixon) in the Pentagon Papers case.
"(In our democracy) the founding fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill it's essential role, which is to serve the governed and not the governors."
Faux News needs to relearn what the founding fathers intended in the first amendment which is it's 'essential' role is to serve the governed and not the governors.
Faux News being a sycophant (suck up) to this cult leader and propagating his warped agenda is not fulfilling it's essential role of serving the governed. I was 19 when the system of checks and balances worked for the last crooked president we had.
And at 63 I'm hoping the founding fathers wisdom will prevail once again with the current occupant. Time will tell.
Remember, that a democracy has no infinite guarantee. You have to work at it to keep it.
