Dip Directions?
In episode 11 of the Diplomacy Games podcast Kaner and I discussed longevity aspects and risk management of sites like webDip and vDip to ensure they grow and reduce the chances of going down (either technically speaking or perceptions of IP infringement). We said we'd create a thread for this for others to contribute. What do you reckon?

Don't forget the one that makes homeownership more expensive for those "working class white Trump voters". One day in and they're already getting screwed and they're just too damn stupid to know the difference. A nation built ok stupidity and hallucinations is headed for a quick trip down the toilet.

"You don't get power just because you schreech autistically the loudest." - fiedler

Didn't Trump just prove that you could? I mean his campaign consisted of demeaning his opponents and expressly or tacitly supported racist, misogynistic, and anti-secular positions. He took populist reactionary stances that pandered to the conservative segment.

I didn't vote for him, *but he is my president.* I only hope he remembers that he serves the other half of the nation too. George W. Bush didn't. His cabinet choices don't inspire confidence though. :(

His world view is not quite the same as the people that don't like him. E.g. you don't like him so you feel free to apply all those slurs you just did.

That's fine. I think 99% of us all want the same kind of world to live in. It's how we go about achieving that and to what the realistic limits are is what people really disagree about.

I agree his cabinet is not inspiring, but he must play the long game and be *diplomatic*

It's not a slur if it objectively describes his statements.
JamesYanik (548 D)
22 Jan 17 UTC
"It's not a slur if it objectively describes his statements."

well... IS IT objective?

let's quote!

"I mean his campaign consisted of demeaning his opponents"

ok good, this is true

"and expressly or tacitly"

tacitly is eye of the beholder and EXTREMELY subjective. let's stick to expressly.

"supported racist,"

he ended up going against David Duke, so expressly no


"misogynistic,"

I quote Trump "if you work as hard, you'll get paid as much" when responding to questions about wage gap.

debate on abortion is non-misogynstic, rather it is concerned with the baby inside, rather than trying to take women's rights away. the MOTIVE: non-misogynstic, as it in know way identifies men as superior

"and anti-secular positions."

his only anti-secular position was giving Mike Pence the VP, and the only reason he got THAT was as an assassination deterrent.

"He took populist reactionary stances:

true

"that pandered to the conservative segment."

much less true.


I'm going to rate this claim as partially true, *INSERT POLITIFACT LIBERAL BIAS* sorry i meant entirely true, 100% undeniably true.

-.-

Look at how Trump dissed Melanie at least twice I saw on Inauguration Day.

He got mad at her when she didn't want to speak at an open mic. He left he behind as the Trumps were supposed to greet the Obama at the White House. He is a misogynist pig and worse doesn't even know it.
Jeff Kuta (2066 D)

And worse than that is his supporters are willfully blind to it which further enables his bad behavior.

@Jeff Kuta

wait a minute, i understand that you don't like him, and frankly his megyn kelly comments are enough to prove that point, but i've moved away from the topic.

what policy is he going to pass that is directly misogynistic?
Condescension (10 D)
22 Jan 17 UTC
Even if he doesn't pass any misogynistic policies, having a misogynistic head of state is still bad. The President is primarily a figurehead. He is doing damage to the cultural wellbeing of the country.

in that case i entirely agree with you, though i'm still more concerned about policy than personal behavior. that said, i think @ssorenn is entirely correct too

I mean he's not exactly the kind of role model you'd want, but i think most people will be able to identify that, and those who CAN'T, probably wouldn't subscribe to the same parenting styles as those who do anyways

Having a black president didn't change the racial problem in the country in any way. Having a misogynistic president won't make misogynistic people any less misogynistic. Sure it's not nice seeing as he won't be someone you could get your children to look up to, but meh it could have been worse. It could've been Hillary getting ready to set up a no-fly zone in Syria with the intent of shooting down Russian planes. The worse Trump said about China had to do with trade, and while that could lead to shit situations that won't be nearly as bad as an actual war with Russia.
Hannibal76 (100 D(B))

I meant to say having a misogynistic president won't make people more or less misogynistic.
