We know

You seem to be tired of reporting on Trump. What do you want posted? Financial stuff? Climate? Human interest?

Their comment seems more so that this isn't some wild revalation nobody saw coming, this literally almost happened on Jan 6.

I'm all for reiterating the danger that Trump and Republicans pose to our nation, but this article isn't bringing anything new to the convo, just one more voice saying Republicans will throw out democracy when things don't go their way.

Yes. So what would bring something new? Marxist philosophy? Political science?

New information about the Trump indictment, any updates on how Republicans are dealing with this, any breaks between the far right Maga and the handful of less psychopathic Republicans, any comments from congress people about the indictments

If you’re going to be this bitchy when someone comments shit you may not like on your post- maybe you shouldn’t post.

You hurt my feelings, so I’ll just keep posting.

God I hate redditors.

I was never on Reddit. I’m not bitching about the comments. I’m just interested in constructive criticism about the post. I don’t take any of this personally. I’m trying to inform better.

Then why post things that tell us what we already know?

That’s what I’m trying to discern. What topics are tired, and what needs to be investigated.

Honestly, I’d be happy with just about anything not related to trump or family members at this point. There has to be news out there that isn’t trump related

Believe me, I'm not.

The other commenter who replied to you is correct about my curt reply; we've been living the reality of Republicans attempting to burn everything to the ground. I agree with Mary Trump, but this isn't a revelation. My comment wasn't meant to be critical of your post, more just a reaction to Mary Trump's revelation.

Okay. Can I ask what news you’re into? I don’t think I’m wrong in thinking people want more variety in their reading.

Jeez Boomer, you sure took that personally. It seemed obv he was taking to Mary Trump, not you, you egomaniac 😅

No, not personally. I’m just sensing a tone in comments that people are getting irritated with the same news cycles. Not just this comment. So, I’m curious and want to make this community better. All boomers are egomaniacs. Got any news sites you frequent?

Who's downvoting this?? It was a good response. And no, I'm a relatively new reddit transplant and that's where I got my news for the last 10 years.

Me too. I don’t care about downvotes, just informing people about what’s going on.

I downvoted because blanket statements are stupid. I will always downvote anyone that generalizes an entire group of people.

There were two statements made-

1)people seem irritated

2)all boomers are egomaniacs

Out of curiosity, which of these did you consider a blanket statement that generalizes an entire group of people??

The first was generally talking about how op felt about the vibe of comments and the second was a tongue in cheek response to me.
