| Topic | lots of people have been talking about trump getting impeached |
| MariaTaylor 07/13/17 2:50:51 AM #36: | huge misconception is that people think events like this are damaging to trump's credibility keep in mind there's been "scandals" of this level like... I dunno, every week since about a month before he was sworn in. doesn't seem to have had any impact so far. the reason is because the people participating and perpetuating these discussions have a huge blind spot and are actually very, very bad at noticing what the other side is doing. as someone who reads lots of discussion from both sides of the aisle I can pretty much tell you this 1. when stories like this break, the trump supporters generally just do not give a shit. it does not negatively impact their view of the administration at all. obviously I do not have a magic window with which to view every trump supporter so this is not a magical absolutely true statement. I'm just talking about the communities which I have specifically observed with my own powers of perception. 2. the people who go nuts about these stories and basically "lose faith" in trumps administration are... well... they're the same people who already had no faith in trump's administration to begin with. essentially no actual viewpoints are being changed. it's just people on Side B breaking stories to themselves and then invigorating themselves by reading about how Trump is like totally DONE FOR this time. except, as history has shown us, he has never actually been "done for" at any point during this entire string of scandals. I've probably heard the phrase Watergate more times in the last six months than I did in the entire 20 years prior combined. --- Embodiment of Scarlet Devil http://i.imgur.com/1KnydFa.jpg ...
