It would wreak havoc with trump's poll numbers - a lot of his supporters jumping out windows would bring down his approval rating. Might even get to be lower than the approval rating for congress.
Did they cite just that part of the DOI? If they did, they were definitely being partisan hacks.
Are you effing serious?? For gods sake, read w/your eyes open before you post. This is the ****e people are sick of: people talking out of their ass w/out taking the minimum effort to gather facts.
But you guys have to be the most obtuse people in the world or this is really a case of bad partisanship to not see what's going on here. It isn't just as simple as NPR quoted from the Dec of Ind and then cons lost their collective shyte. It's that in this hyper charged partisan world, the language of the Dec of Ind was probably used in an incendiary manner or taken that way by some people. Maybe some new it was the Dec of Ind, maybe some didn't, the point was how it was used in this hyper partisan atmosphere both sides have fostered.
But of course you guys are aching for more "cons are dumb" stuff, so have at it.
Its VERY sad if there are Americans over the age of say 13 who doesn't know the DoI when they see it. Wow.
God you people are beyond help. They jumped to that conclusion because of the hyper partisan atmosphere and the media referring to Trump as a tyrant. They thought NPR was either spouting resistance rhetoric if the twitter users didn't know it was the Dec of Ind OR people thought they were quoting the Dec of Ind on purpose to paint Trump to be the tyrant that needs resistance
And yet....
This didn't happen during Obama's presidency any of the 8 times NPR read the DoI. Are you saying we've just become hyperpartisan in the past 7 months?

Hey, you explain it to us. Who knows what sets you guys off.
I'm pretty sure most of the people who got all up in arms about the DoI tweets would never in a million years know anything about what NPR does. So.... someone decided to tell them a partial story. Who was that person? I'm betting it wasn't a liberal.

Partial story????
They posted the whole damned thing. Even if one isn't well versed in the contents of the DoI, you'd think the first few lines would ring a bell:
Quote:
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
What do I have to explain? It was Trumpers who got all offended by the document which led to our independence from England, not dems. The fact that people didn't freak out when NPR did this during Obama's term speaks volumes.
