    I just saw a meme about how shame is dead. We need to bring back shame. Anyone who helped Trump gain the power he has ought to be ashamed.

      We can start with Kamala, Biden, and everyone at the DNC. They could use a good stay in the public stockades for running such a monumentally stupid campaign. We could set up a stockade on the national mall. Everyone could come and throw rotten tomatoes at them. It would be great!

            If you feel shame but refuse to change your behaviour then I guess you’re just an asshole. You know you are doing wrong but continue. There’s nowhere good to go from there.

              lol I say no once and you’re out of ideas. I return to my thesis, people with your political instincts are why we are where we are.

                I said you’re an asshole (ban incoming i guess) after you said you dont care about feeling shame.
                No idea what the rest of your comment is about. What is a person with poltical instincts and how did they lead to where we are now?

                  I corrected a typo, hope it cleared up a bit, but in case it didn’t; the point being it doesn’t mater what you think people ought to do, or ought to feel ashamed about. If your political method ends with, “Well then you’re an asshole and I give up” at the first sign of resistance, congratulations you’ve perfectly described the democratic party for the last decade+.

                    Ok. My only point was that people who knowingly do wrong without shame are assholes. I wasn’t talking about political methods.

                Hmm . . . So darn those people with political instincts.
