Then why is the OP pre-dooming? Why bother going there? I'm a New Yorker - you don't need to explain shit to us about being united against Trump. I'm just wondering why he's shaping that to oppose Dems. It's self defeating.

It’s not “pre-dooming.” It’s acknowledging reality.

It hasn't happened, it is the definition of not reality. Stop being foolish at me.

It’s absolutely acknowledging reality. It’s taking available information and extrapolating. It’s also just extremely plausible.

It's a part of my work, and I would never make such an assumption.

When I see stuff like that I always remind myself that Doomers become your groomers when you’re getting your hair & nails done at the salon of success!
