    Liberals haven't been complacent it's just when it comes down to the actual office holding bit they're sort of looked at as a faction of pariahs.

    the silver lining of the muslim ban is that maybe things did need to get this bad to stoke up enough outrage that a man who got nearly two million less votes than his opponent gets to pull this shit because the political will to enact electoral reform to a representative system doesn't exist

    western liberals have been far too complacent for the last decade

    i think we need a guy like Trump to show us what happens when we assume we've won all the battles

    I get what you're saying, but I just can't agree with it.

    it turns out politicians try to do the things they said they would

    It is kind of funny seeing peoples reactions to this. Say what you like about Trump and his use of "alternative facts" but he didn't lie about this. He was 100% up front about what his intentions were and a number of the American public large enough to win an election cheered and voted for it. He's simply following up on a campaign pledge people voted for.

    An appalling, counter productive, will in all likelihood be judged by history to be a huge mistake, campaign pledge.

    Yea, I wonder if he had done this is a way that wasn't incredibly inept if he would be getting as much backlash. Clearly announce ahead of time to avoid the issue with those in transit, maybe actually brief the agencies that were going to enforce this shit, ya know, demonstrated some competence.

    yeah dropping it with literally no notice whatsoever

    i dont know what anyone else expected to happen

    You'd almost think that it was engineered that way

    But then you think of that man's Futurama 80's guy reading of Sun Tzu and... yeah...

    i dont think Trump has any reason to want his Muslim ban to go badly
