Who the hell is "us"?

What folks DO know is that there is a very large group of folks who advertise themselves as "The Moral Majority", "The Religious Right" and "Evangelicals". They also know that this group is responsible for the election of the most amoral, ignorant and evil person to ever occupy the WH. And they further know that this same group comprises his largest, most reliable set of apologists and supporters today.

You may very well be something different than that. But that does not negate the valid observations of folks who see the above described group for what they really are - nasty, evil, ignorant, hypocritical Trumpettes.

They are indeed ignorant and hypocritical. They are not nasty and evil. When you attack with words like that you only increase the paranoia that leads them to believe that the world is against them.

You change the mind of an evangelical with love, kindness, and an appeal to scripture. You don't do it with insults.

When you call evangelicals nasty and evil you strengthen the resolve of the president's base.

I actually have been privy to acquisitions-on both sides. A purchasing company looks at all current contracts and determines whether or not they are valuable and worth keeping.

You were likely discussed in the negotiations and deemed an unnecessary expense. If you were an asset to the company and provided value, you would have been retained.

The fact that you were let go means that you did not provide a value.

I’m not concerned with pointing out that you “failed.” I couldn’t care less. I am a little concerned that you are clearly lying when you say you “shed” this client when it is clear that the client terminated your services.

It says a lot about you that you are spinning it as if you got rid of the client when in fact the client got rid of you.

Good grief, brother. The company ceased to exist. It was bought by a bigger company. I had no contract with the new company. The owner I worked with told me 3 months in advance that this would be happening and asked if I wanted contact info for the new company. I said no. So, I actually DID shed this client. Now, because I always strive for accuracy, this isn't even how I meant it. I meant it simply as deciding to have a client list of one fewer. And, it is a decision, because I have requests from manufacturing companies all the time to take them on as a client, and I could have tried to work for this new entity. I have actively decided not to.

I do not lie, so if you ever think I have, you are mistaken.

I agree with you most of the time Fat Hurts, but gonna have to disagree here. SOME of the Moral Majority, Religious Right, and Evangelicals are evil and/or nasty. There are evil people in any large group of people, so that in unavoidable, and as I see it, there are more evil people of the aforementioned groups than any other large organized group of people in the US, and I do mean that...sheer numbers. A greater percentage of KKK members are evil, but when talking sheer numbers, the religious groups in question win that in the US. I know plenty of people who identify as Moral Majority or Evangelical or Religious Right or Conservative Christian who are nasty nasty people, including a few truly evil ones.

Now, it is also important to note that MOST of those people (even the vast majority of them) are NOT evil...just ignorant, and, as I have stated before, "Evangelicals" is often used to refer to Conservative Christians, but there are plenty of liberal Evangelicals (when using the term generally and not specifically to refer to any denomination with "Evangelical" in its title).

You got dropped.

Um, remember 2016 bruh. Polls really don’t mean sh!t, bruh. Especially this far out. If you’re going to insist on looking at polls though at least choose one that breaks things down by party. Such as this one....

https://news.gallup.com/poll/203198/presidential-approval-ratings-donald-trump.aspx

I think this poll captures what we all observe in the real world and that is Trump is still very, very strong with registered Republicans. His job approval with them is 88%!!!! In recent months it has been in the low 90% range with Republicans. Additionally he is sitting in the high 30% range for independent voters. Let those numbers sink in, bruh. After all his shenanigans 9 in 10 Republicans and perhaps 4 in 10 independents still are going to vote for him. This is why other Republicans don’t call him out on his ridiculous and crazy policies and statements—he’s just too popular with their voters to do so.

Now, if you look at this poll there were times when he dropped into the 70s with GOPers and the 20s with independents. IF his numbers with those groups dip that low on Election Day he will lose. Otherwise, as hard as it is for many to accept, if his number hold steady and are similar to what this poll has now....he has a very good chance of winning in 2020. It will all depend on dem turn out given the current polls.

You believe 88% is 9 in 10 and 30% is 4 in 10. So, you round the first one in your favor and are just flat wrong, again in your favor for the second one. Trump will need that kind of incorrect math to win. You also fail to note that lots of people have left the Republican Party since Trump has been in office, so it's not that impressive that those who have stayed with him this long still support him. They don't stamp you on the ass with an elephant when you are born so that you can't ever change.

As I said, Trump is dropping in the polls.

Suck on that Trumpettes.

Former business owner - "Flagpole, the dude I have done business with for more than 10 years, I am letting you know that 3 months from now, my company is being sold to GIANT MEGA COMPANY. I don't know what their plans are for business consulting, but I would be glad to give you their contact information if you are interested in working with them."

Flagpole - "Thanks. I appreciate the offer. I am beginning to pare down my business in anticipation of retirement in about 3 years, so I am not interested in pursuing an opportunity with them. Was a pleasure working with you all these years!"

Doesn't sound like a firing to me. If it makes you feel good about yourself to think of it as a firing, fine by me (though I would be a little concerned about your connection to reality).

It really does appear that you were let go. There’s nothing wrong with that. People get laid off or contracts terminated/not renewed every day.

You shouldn’t be ashamed of it.

Trump will cry with joy that the approval among Trump's base is approaching 99%, while complete ignoring that over half of the base has abandoned Trump so they no longer count to hold the percentage under the value it should be.

I don't understand what you are disagreeing with. Of course there are bad people in any group. I never said otherwise.

I don't think you know plenty of conservative Christians who are nasty people. I doubt that you know many nasty people at all. If you do, then you need to take a hard look at how you perceive others.
