[Aristus]

1. Amen...

[syringis]

4. Hi Aristus, how are you ?

I thought it was interesting. It needs to be hammered.

Day by day, Trump is an increasing danger.

[Aristus]

7. Not so great.

Things suck in this country right now, and Harlan Ellison, my favorite writer and a staunch liberal political activist, died yesterday.

But I'm glad I have my DU friends. You all give me courage...

25. Harlan Elllison was the source for one of my favorite Star Trek TOS episodes.

City on the Edge of Forever.

36. When you what to associate with today's Republicans you have lost your moral compass.

The Republican Party has become the party of amorality. They are the ultimate justifier of the axiom that the ends justify the means/ They are sunk to the level in which they are able to result to the most vile means to achieve your goals. Many fear that if their power is threaten, such as the removal of Trump, that they could incite an armed revolt.

This is not an exaggeration, but was clearly express by Trump during the campaign for the presidency. He stated that if he lost to Hilary Clinton that the situation could be corrected by his supporters who worship the Second Amendment. How many times did he incite his supporters to actually assault anyone of protested his vile policies? He even went as far as saying that he would not uphold one of the most cherished principles that assures the peaceful transfer of power, that a losing candidate would concede the election. This was a de facto threat that he would encourage armed rebellion. etc., etc., etc.

38. Usually its about methods to achieve the same end. Not how to actually destroy people.

I have had discussions in the past that were basically how to achieve and resolve a problem. Such as the approach to solving health care needs. Both want to improve the situation and the discussion is exploring what would be the best solution. There could be radical differences but that isn't the situation today. Just for example health care. Today's radical conservative Republican is willing to deny the person care and let them die rather than support any government sponsored program. There is absolutely no opportunity to even come to compromise.

2. Who wrote the first version?

[syringis]

6. Hi Baitball Blogger

I don't know. I found only this one.

Maybe there is no first version, and this was written for the example.

[Pobeka]

8. There was a first version, I saw it on facebook maybe a year ago? n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

9. What an abusive relationship to be in.

To always hear their hateful comments and have to smile through it all. That doesn't sound like a normal relationship. It sounds like an abusive situation.

[Downtown Hound]

3. Awesome! Going to show this to everyone

who tries to tell me to find common ground with these evil pieces of shit.

[stevenleser]

5. Hard to argue with that. And in fact I have no desire to try.

[IronLionZion]

10. So Sally, would you like to get some fair trade coffee and discuss our values?

[deurbano]

11. Be like Sally. Be Best!

[greymattermom]

12. Here's my daughter's response.

This is Bob. Bob is liberal and horrified by what is going on. This is Sally, who's more of a traditional conservative. She's also horrified, recognizing that these aren't ordinary times . Be like Bob and Sally.

[plimsoll]

18. Interesting. Did Sally vote for Trump?

I haven't met any Trump voters who would admit to being horrified by this administration. If they are they're keeping quiet. What I see is most Trump voters seem to have some kind of reaction formation. They chose Trump, he said he was the best, they believed it and will loudly proclaim that because admitting otherwise would be admitting they were marks.

[Nay]

35. I know 3 people like Sally the traditional conservative, and none of them voted for him.

THAT'S how you determine whether your conservative friend is worth keeping around.

[cungar2000]

13. I can't even imagine

Once in a while my wife pulls my chain by jokingly saying something positive about Trump like she's serious and I fall for it. I can only imagine how it would change our relationship if she meant it.

[JustAnotherGen]

22. my husband does that too

I fall for it.

He always ends - "I meant Baron."

We actually feel bad for Baron, he has kind eyes. He's not like the rest of 'em.

[fleabiscuit]

14. That accidentally fell onto my desk top. It might try to escape to other places. nt

[JustAnotherGen]

15. They are still together?

Run Sally run!

[grantcart]

16. Sally has gotten an order of protection, Bob has purchased a handgun.

[JustAnotherGen]

19. I shouldn't laugh but

[DoctorJoJo]

17. And Finally, Sally Kicked Bob Directly In the Nuts!

[ffr]

20. I know of two longstanding marriages that ended in divorce over politics

Both divorced in 2017. The wives have gone their separate ways as have the husbands. As much as they try, they don't bring up the political differences with me, but the women now live more liberal lifestyles and the men are living, what can only be labeled extreme RW lifestyles (Talibanish theocratic in nature). Yeah, politics had nothing to do with the friction there.

[ProudLib72]

21. Methinks Bob is currently an incel

Oh Syringis, this one is SOOOOOOOO good!

[mr_liberal]

23. Fixating on this stuff just helps Trump.

This Is part of the reason Hillary lost. People don't really care that he said politically incorrect racist, ableist, transgenderphobist.... stuff. They care about the issues.

She should be mad because she's going to lose her reproductive rights, not that Trump made an offensive comment or joke.

[BBG]

30. Bullshit it was the issues

His fans could give a rats ass less about issues. They just want to be contrary to what reason and rationality. They are anti intellectual and relish their own ignorance.

[olegramps]

37. Republicans are like some battered women. The more they are abused the more they worship the bum.

You are going to cut my social security, health benefits, voting rights, send me off to illegal wars, lie and abuse women, how charming. That's my kind of guy.

[lunamagica]

32. No, his supporters adore him because he has given them the green light to be openly

racist.

For them, it wasn't about the issues. It never was.

[jmowreader]

24. What the original meme really meant

This is Bob. He voted for Trump.
This is Bob's friend Sally. She voted for Clinton.
After the election, Bob abused Sally until she gave up her political beliefs.

- - - - -

Piss on Bob.

[Doreen]

26. I met up with a friend that I had not had contact with for years.

This was about 9 months after the orange piece of shit was in office. I asked her what she thought about what was going on in this country. She said it was bad but it was better than Hillary. I never saw her again.

[pecosbob]

27. Ostracize and isolate

Make them fear our ostracism at every turn. If your dentist insists on playing Fox Noise in their waiting room, threaten to change dentists, or do so and make sure you tell them why they're losing business.

[gordianot]

28. I would send this to my daughter but it hits too close to home.

Exactly what she concluded even after I called him Pepe Jr.

[empedocles]

29. James Carille [senior bill clinton aide]married Mary Matalin [senior republican wh aide]

They are still married. Personality types very opposite.

When asked how do they do it?
Carville responds, 'usually I'm on top'.

[BeatStanford]

31. My gal Sally's parents

We’re horrified by my antipathy to HRC. They really sweated her on whether I voted for the other guy. I did, living in California, I guiltlessly wrote in my pet sloth stuffed animal.

[Gothmog]

40. You admit that you did not vote for the Democratic candidate in the general election?

Are you proud of this?

[lapucelle]

41. Did you vote for Trump or the inanimate toy that you refer to as a pet?

What does it mean to "sweat somebody"? I've never heard that expression before...in English.

[Cha]

33. Wow.. Perfect. I actually Had a friendship of 23 years go down the tubes like that.

Mahalo, syringis!

[SCantiGOP]

34. Very snarky

I like it.

[MarianJack]

39. A vTrump vote essentially ended a 25+ year friendship for bme.

My once friend even accepted that Donald Trump is an asshole but she was so upset about what she had vto pay for health insurance that she'd rather be uninsured than have to pay ACA rates at the age of 64. Madness!

PEACE!
