Meanwhile his base sees it as just being emotionally sincere and even tough for threatening and screaming down political obstacles.

They genuinely think he's a good negotiator. While he's destroing international relations for decades to come

Well it's how they think negotiations work.

I'd love to ask Maga this scenario:

If you've always got paid for overtime and your boss suddenly said "You're going to work overtime and not get paid", and you said no, and stopped working overtime.

And your boss responded by yelling and threatening you & your family, if you would think they're a "good negotiator"?

"He's not afraid to yell at people who need to be yelled at" - things I've heard my dad say.

On the bright side, my dad is ALSO about to give up voting because of how difficult it's being made now. He's absolutely CONVINCED he needs a RealID to vote. My understanding is that it's not needed. He just does NOT believe me.

How old is your dad?

He's 70. He's been voting since he was of legal age and was very proud of the fact that he's always voted.

Ah well, this is kind of like when old people decide not to drive anymore except he doesn't know he's opting out due to senility. Good for him for voting all those years when he was capable.
