It's something..

and I'd imagine those who do likely don't limit their protests to this forum.

As for those who don't even manage to counter Trump here...well...I find it hard to believe they do anywhere else either.

And those who defend him here likely do in other forums.

==============================

I can find other things to do while experiments are in incubation. Mud feels like he has to qualify posting about it . . . I don't know why. Of the many threads started on this forum about half of them (mostly by DJ and Native) are Trump has done something today posts. So I'm not sure why he feels he has to qualify . . . I guess every time one of these posts are made both sides are keeping score as to who responds, how and if it is strong enough.

There are other things in the world besides Donald Trump . . . if all we're going to do is judge whether your DJT posts get the correct amount of love or derision . . . I'm out.

I'm fine with being judged a contrarian or a k00k . . . but I'll be damned if I'm going to be measured daily in my response to the fool.

"The authority of government, even such as I am willing to submit to — for I will cheerfully obey those who know and can do better than I, and in many things even those who neither know nor can do so well — is still an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it. The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual. Even the Chinese philosopher was wise enough to regard the individual as the basis of the empire. Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at least which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few were to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen."
