Right there with you on THIS -- hell, I can think of a few more people who'd fit quite nicely on that list for exactly the reason you gave. And your solution as stated is, IMHO, EXACTLY what needs to happen! Oh, and I'm gonna have to use your "temporary pain for long-term gain" characterization of the whole tRump thing (with attribution, of course!😆).

Look, you get absolutely NO argument from me on ANYTHING you've said here, Darlin'. And also like you, I neither tolerate the patronizing, nor the condescension, especially when I'm truly trying to ENGAGE with folk on something about which I'm particularly passionate. But if that's what's served up, I just say, "Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one," and I just keep it movin'...

I guess I said all that in my other comment to say that I get how frustrating it feels when you come up on what seems to be a brick wall. I try to get through for a little while, because you'll NEVER get through if you can't find out why the wall is there. But if the hitting my head against it starts to break me, more than the brick wall -- I just bow the hell out. (Oh, and given our about 18-year gap, I can be your elder or your sistah, either one will do!🤣🤣🤣🤣)
