I know this all seems funny to many of us, and I’ve laughed at much of it. But... this is also an important perspective to consider: I really get this side. Which is why I didn’t understand it all to begin with. I think that there will be real people who will suffer from real violence induced by Trump’s threats of Civil War. And it will be more than “just” Jews in Pittsburgh or Latinos in Texas. Anyone who doesn’t think that the person who reported Trump’s treasonous phone call with the Ukraine won’t be killed by someone now that Trump has made it clear they should be put to death for treason, is naive.

Well said, but think know the seriousness of this and still attempt to relax some. The consequences of his actions/statements could be deadly.

All joking aside, this is all so worrisome.

We all know he has disciples who will take it as a call to kill, but we still need to blow off steam. At least ours is harmless.
I'll lead some mindfulness sessions too.

Who ever thought America would have a President nutty enough to espouse conspiracy theories and give them oxygen?
What a sad sordid state we've gotten ourselves into. Through our voting and NOT VOTING. Not through force (yet). Not through chance. Through our greed (rich GOP) and gullibility (poor GOP).
I'll bring smelling salts - to try to wake the sleeping from their stupor.

i am good for pop and buns. also known as the item that the guy in my office always signs up for first. your president never ceases to amaze... not in a good, positive or impressive way.... reminds me of listening to an old radio broadcast - not sure if it was the war of the worlds or the hindenberg distaster? i was a kid and i remember the announcer stating it was "terrific". we all laughed and the teacher explained terrific meant it was causing terror. so yah, he does amaze me on a regular basis. Diet Pepsi, please, if you don't mind. And maybe some cream soda for my Mom? I'll have my MIL make some pies. I have quite a few leftover tablecloths from the wedding that I will bring. I also have some extra chairs and folding tables, and a couple of sun tents. Will throw those in the truck. Does anyone object to inviting my kid and some of his musician friends? We could probably use some folksy jamming to keep our minds off of the "doomed".

But there are a whole lot of people in this country (and world) who could certainly take his statements as a call to action. All it takes is one of them, and lives are lost.

I'll bring smelling salts - to try to wake the sleeping from their stupor. BUT- it’s not just the President. We can’t just say the President is a nut job who is inspiring other nut jobs. There are a host of Senators & Congressional Reps that are right there with him. So it’s not ‘just a nut job’ or ‘a president’ who espouses conspiracy theories. But a portion of our elected representative that are right there with him joining in the ‘treason’ & egging on the white supremacists. Basically the R party has called on white supremacist militia to attack... what they didn’t say was attack whom, they left that up to the supremacists.

The humor is a coping mechanism BUT also it is a ‘community’ so we know we are not alone. The white supremacists have their groups & such so they have their ‘side’ their white dudes extremist buddies & all. The rest of us are all a mish mash of everyone else. So while the threads are a humorous coping mechanism, it is also a way to come together from all different directions In the back of our minds ( at least most I think ) we are all thinking & praying that sanity & democracy prevails... Otherwise we gave them a list to start to gather us & send us to work camps or whatever should insanity prevail.

Otherwise we gave them a list to start to gather us & send us to work camps or whatever should insanity prevail. I think humor is a critical coping mechanism. So is keeping in mind the proportions of the true mentally ill who would take up arms to fight for this mob-boss, vs. the vast majority of citizens who are good, law-abiding people who are sometimes just too stressed/busy/overwhelmed to pay attention to the fact that their POTUS is a mobbed-up conspiracy theorist. So, reminding ourselves of the goodness of the masses, esp. through humor, is AWESOME.
