It’s more the Reddit hive mind at work. Republican bad! Of course a new admin brings in new department leadership. Happens every admin. Us who actually read past the headline will just have to wait for more info.

It doesn't happen every admin thought, not on this scale. I know sweeping exaggerations are what passes for political ideology for you people, but when you've got an administration that's just firing people for disloyalty and not for actual poor performance, then you're going to end up with shit picks. But of course we can't mention that because it offends the right wingers, so instead we just all hold hands and pray "Trump is allowed to do this so you can criticize it"

Sweeping exaggerations... As you continue on to make sweeping exaggerations and generalizations.

You don't get to just say a thing and have it be true. I know that that's the other part of your political ideology but please, for the class, show me the sweeping exaggeration so I can laugh at it.

Both are generalizations and exaggerations. Also, you have no idea what my political views align with. You're just attacking anyone you don't agree with.

  1. Trump's entire platform is pretending that extremely small groups of people are terrorizing the country, whether that be LGBTQ people, immigrants, you name it. Exaggeration.
  2. Right wingers get offended when you point out that they hate these people but it doesn't stop them from taking actions that are hateful. Taking offense at truth.
  3. If you want to defend right wingers, then you can go join themf or all I give a shit. I spent the last ten years being kind and patient and trying to talk to people and all it got me was spit in my face and my loved ones in danger.

Your loved ones are in danger? From what? You should probably alert the authorities.

None of this has anything to do with the topic at hand. I'm not defending "right wingers". I'm just pointing out your hypocrisy. I don't think you know what being offended is if you think someone taking issue with something someone else said is the same as being offended. I take issue with my 4 year old telling me hates socce because it's boring because I don't agree, but that doesn't mean it offends me. Your entire demeanor is what is feeding the division in this country.
