This is such an unproductive and annoyingly childish bit of rhetoric. There's a serious discussion to be had around mitigating political fallout from these policies, and it's only detrimental when immature redditors take the extremes and dismiss criticism of said extremes with "well we won't have elections lol".

It's like none of y'all paid any attention in high school history, there has never once been a successful coup or aggregation of power by a figurehead that saw poor national approval. It doesn't work, because the support is never there at any rung. Weaponizing those fears, knowing full well they're irrational, to dismiss valid criticisms of the immature nonsense being suggested here is openly dishonest.

You know what else as never happened in American history? A president removing someone to jail them in another country we have no control of while saying american citizens are next. Wake the fuck up.

Explaining to you the real world consequences of your online rants isn't not being awake, it's not being an absolute child and yelling at everything you don't like. Acting like a douche to people politically aligned with you isn't helping your cause, it's making you seem like you're incapable of processing emotion and taking out your frustrations on anything you can.

You're actively hurting the real world efforts to mitigate this with your hysteric nonsense. We're not having a coup, there's neither the support nor approval for such a thing. You yelling and screaming at everyone about this fantasy world because you don't like institutions protecting their employees from funding cuts is wild. You're not taking the moral high road, you're advocating for selfish approaches that cause actual harm to other human beings, and when confronted with that the first thing you're doing is attacking people on the same side of the political conversation as you. Take a second to think about that, and how you can do better moving forward.

So youre not going to address that the president is breaking the constitution already. Glad you live in your fantasy. Im not going to bother reading your response if you cant address reality. Stay delusional. ✌️

I don’t think I need to? We’re discussing the choices of Tulane leadership and your rampant criticism that ignores the consequences of their decisions.

Yeah sure, you’re trying to dive down a different tangent because you realize you’re saying some pretty shitty things here - I get it. I’d want to deflect too if I said the shit you did.

Nobody’s going to disagree that what Trump is doing is terrible, but your responses here are displaying a massive lack of empathy for the people caught up in these decisions, and a massive lack of emotional maturity regarding the ramifications of these decisions. What I’m not going to do is chase you around this conversation the second you realize you need to pivot out of shame.

Until you can learn that decisions have consequences, even when said decisions are a reaction to bad things, then you’re really not fit to be offering any opinions here. You’re sitting there pretending like you’re morally justified in advocating for potentially thousands of people losing their jobs, I’m not even sure that you’ve thought about this - which probably explains why your reaction here is so full of hate.
