Public opinion has shifted significantly since 2008. Back then, a majority of Americans still did not support gay marriage. That is no longer the case. You still have evangelicals who are strongly opposed to it and will do everything they can to roll back progress, but most Americans have moved on.
Yes, but crazy evangelicals currently control much of the government, particularly at state levels. That's why you have recent news from places like Texas.
You think a bunch of liberals voted that way? There are plenty of conservatives in California, just like in every state. 2008 was als o a lifetime ago on this issue.
2008 was not that long ago. You are blaming conservatives in 32 states for not wanting gay marriage? Please. Again I still don't give a damn who you sleep with.
Let's face it, the latest tweet is what appeals to the Jerry Springer crowd. This is why Drumpf is so low in the polls, most people get turned off by his low brow tactics.
It's probably best to ignore the Dufus and chief, since he is obviously incompetent at his role and focus on what the Republican congress is trying to ram down the throats of the Distracted American population.
Why do you speak so despairingly of the Jerry Springer crowd?
If, by and large, daytime audiences are getting older, there is also some evidence to suggest that they are becoming more downwardly mobile as well. As far back as 2001, research firm Frank N. Magid Associates reported that 40% of the daytime viewers make less than $20,000 a year, and 85% don’t have a college degree. In September of last year, Pew Research published the following findings: “Regular viewers of daytime talk shows are less educated than the public as a whole. Among this group, just 19% have four year degrees, 26% have attended some college and 54% have a high school diploma or less education.” That same survey also reported: “Daytime talk show watchers stand out as the least well off regular audience. About half (51%) have family incomes of less than $30,000, while three-in-ten have $30,000-$74,999 incomes. Just 12% have incomes of $75,000 or more.”
I have no intention of withholding the truth simply because it may cost my side a political win. There are more important things at stake here. Basic human decency should not be sacrificed at the altar just because you're petty enough to think that winning at all costs is a worthy goal. I'd say shame on you, but I've long given up on the idea that any of you are capable of feeling such a complex emotion. You guys strike me as the type who'd really enjoy a show featuring nothing but clips of people getting hit in the nuts, which, let's be honest, is not all that different from "professional" wrestling.
Your post brings up a very important point about Trump, his Administration, our current government but most importantly, his followers.
Confucius put it perfectly in 531 BC.
The Master said, “ If you Lead them by means of regulations, fear and keep order among
them through punishments, then the people, will,evade them and will lack any sense of shame.
Lead them through moral virtue and keep order among them through compassionate governance and the government will have a sense of shame and will correct themselves.”
That's Trump in a nutshell. He has taken shame and moral virtue off the table of America and now it's become open season on the American Democratic system.
2008 was not that long ago. You are blaming conservatives in 32 states for not wanting gay marriage? Please. Again I still don't give a damn who you sleep with.
2008 was a long time ago when looking at the overall acceptance of gay marriage. And yes, I am blaming conservatives, considering they were, BY FAR, responsible for putting those issues on the ballot and voting for them. To argue otherwise is completely lying.
Funny old old video edited to be used by POTUS.
Left cam simulate executing POTUS on stage etc, cause apparently its art.
Get over it lefties. Your liberal days are numbered.

Even a few years ago, I would've thought that our current situation couldn't happen. I thought, admittedly very naively, that America was better than this. I've never been more wrong about anything, and won't be again making the mistake of overestimating the virtue and moral compass of Americans.
