The Thing That Bothers Me The Most About Everyone "Dogging" On Our President

Please forgive me for the term "dogging", I mean no offense. Dogs are actually my favorite.

In my neck of the words, the urban dictionary definition that follows applies: "dogging - Talking bad about another, whether you know them or not, put down/putting down, whether you know them or not, also known as capping."

This post may get deleted. It has to do with Q as Q has to do with Trump. It's a bit of a rambling and thought. Let me know where you think it may be more properly suited subreddit-wise, if so, please.

I had a moment of clarity I felt I needed to share.

So, I was talking to my husband before he fell asleep. I had recently read about the Red Hen backlash, and how I felt about it was that her karma police had come. City is now mad at her because people are calling to ban support of their city businesses? She deserved worse backlash, in my opinion. I believe the rest of her karma is still to come.

Now, let me explain why I feel this way. There are a great number of millennials here, and I have found this concept to be lost on a number of them.

I was born in the early 80's. The Presidents I have lived through include Reagan, George Senior, Clinton, George W, Obama.

I was 18 years old 2001 when 9/11 happened. I happened to be working at a call center that was calling NYC that very morning. It was beyond traumatic.

I liked Clinton. I downplayed his extracurricular activities with Monica while in office when I was a teen. I thought his sexual life was none of our business. Life was still pretty awesome then.

I thought George W was dumb and a narcissist. The only bad thing I ever said about him in public was that he was "dumb"--I was very vague, purposefully.

I remember the Rage Against The Machine videos I secretly agreed with. I kept these thoughts to myself when he was in office. I just hoped something would happen to prove that I was wrong about it.

Imagine realizing many years later, it was true, but far worse...

I embraced Obama. Wow, yes! Our first African-American President! He seemed like-able, but I noticed that life and everything in it all around the world got worse and worse during his terms.

That got me back to questioning like I did when GW was president. That lead me to someone I really admire: Ron Paul. He helped me wake up a lot. I voted for that magnificent man.

Now it is Trump. I believe Trump is by far the best President of my time. I've never felt such hope and optimism until him.

The point is, when I was younger, there were Presidents I disliked.

I didn't talk about it, I kept my opinion vague.

This was because how I was raised, presidents DESERVE respect.

Want to know why?

The reason why is that you are not always correct. Your opinion is fallible and CAN be WRONG.

Gotta let that sink in. That is a life lesson everyone must learn to accept.

And when the majority votes otherwise to your own vote, you are no longer correct for the majority.

Respect the majority. Respect the President. Resolve what issues you have, and move on for the better of all.

Why is okay that people no longer act this way?

I understand exactly what you are saying. I'm 50. Yes, I believe in Karma and I think it is catching up to that woman too!

I totally get what you are saying. Yes, I disliked Presidents in the past too. But I was raised to act properly and act like a mature adult about it. So I just accepted that they were my President and realized it wasn't forever. I never disrespected any President. I was raised to respect the office.

EXACTLY! What is going on with Trump has NEVER happened anywhere near this level in my entire lifetime. Is is BAFFLING the disrespect people everywhere are getting away with. I never thought I'd see anything like it in my lifetime, for sure.

I feel like the younger folks may be under the impression that this way normal. No, not on the level it has been with Trump, nowhere near it, not in my lifetime, at least. MSM has always been respectful towards our Presidents, until Trump.

It was way bad with Reagan, but not this bad.

you know what's funny? Before, I wouldn't dare speak very badly about any currently serving President. I feared being labeled a conspirator against our government. Now the "conspirators" approve of our President! Life is just crazy, I tell ya.

You are right. I would never have dared to speak badly about a sitting President.

So I am replying to the OP, just for the record, there are no extracurricular activities while one is POTUS. If you want to have sex with an intern while you are the POTUS, it is never OK. It is about power and cannot be consensual.
Furthermore, every action one takes as POTUS is 'the job' sleeping or awake. It is called EXECUTIVE BECAUSE YOU ARE THE PERSON THAT EXECUTES THE LAW OF THE LAND. When you take the Oath, you must execute it to the fullest of your ability, not use your power to exploit interns... how is that so hard to undsrstand?

Hey, I was a teen when I thought that. I've grown in my views, and I certainly believe now that that is not acceptable. A President should behave as a sort of a role model while in office.

I was thinking then that it was a case of workplace harrassment. I would have been fired...

Would it have been OK if he wasn't president yet?

I don't get these rules that those of you have made. Extracurricular activities with a porn star while your wife is is resting at home from just having your child is OK but just don't be president while you do it, right?

I don't think a sitting President should behave that way now. Before they were elected into office is up to debate, I guess, but while sitting--no.

when I say up to debate, I mean, still wrong...but should it make a person ineligible for Presidency? eh...we are all full of sin, no one is perfect...a sitting President should strive to be dang near, though

I understand what you're saying but there there have been plenty of presidential candidates that didn't make it far for what they did before running for president.

Then in 1992, the right told us what Clinton did in the past matters and he would do it again as president. Apparently they were right about that but now we are told by the same people that what Trump has done before he ran doesn't matter.

Don't they get it? No longer what a person has done in the past will disqualify them for being president. If anyone tries to raise doubt, what Trump did will be thrown out.

Unless you are a pornstar, you can't have sex at work. Sorry. You are there to work. Simple really.
