[TheRealRonWeaver? 1258]

Well, I didn’t say or mean any such thing.  What started as a mild jest with Twice led me to wonder why most engineers are politically conservative.  You and I presumably being engineers, what is your take on engineers and conservatism?   Is it just the white male in us?   Or, is it your experience most engineers are libs?

Well, thinking back to pre retirement gets harder, but I conjecture that many engineers are taught an exclusively instrumental mind set.  Manipulate the physical world for “benefit”.   Benefit that equals dollars and the math gets easy.  Leave people and the world at large out of your mindset. What do you get?

Sure, I wish we could stuff an ethics course in there.  But advisory committees get told the undergrads are maxed on required hours (128 or 130, can’t recall).   No one can agree on what to take away.  
 

Our pedagogy and our commercial culture manufacture the engineers we get.  We could do better.

So, are you telling me the engineers don't really believe in religion, but pretend to because it's measurably beneficial to do so?

Side note. The question asked on this morning’s Washington Journal on C-SPAN was should we look to the POTUS for moral leadership. The answers by and large were disappointing, if not surprising. The MAGAs didn’t think much of the idea.

I don't think we should look to the President for moral leadership. I think the President (and all elected officials) should support, and to an extent, reflect the morals (and ideas and whatever other personal beliefs) of the constituency, with a lean to the voting constiuency

We should look AT the morals of elected officials and decide if we want to be represented by them (including their morals) or not. 

Homeboy was there for a reason. Enough people in enough states looked and said, "Yes," or "Whatever" for him to get there and then feel like he can get enough people behind him to the point where he has a shot at becoming whatever it is he wants to become. 

And he might... Because enough people are looking at him and saying "Yes" to his morals.

THIS is the dark magic that bannon used to get trump in office. It wasn't to transmute normal people into trumpsters, but rather to convince them that #bothsides are bad so just don't vote and be politically apathetic because it's just all so icky and CR

Its the same strategy that putin uses to maintain his power in Moscow.

Still a fascinating statistic after all these decades.  Last time a Democratic Presidential nominee won a general election and took office for a previous Democratic President who left office of their own volition (left before 2-term limit deal was an issue or just decided not to run again, does not include death in office or assassination) was Buchanan after Pierce.  Curiously, both one-term presidents.  And that occurred, by the time of the next inauguration, 164 years ago.  

I honestly don't know if Trump will be dead, or unavailable to run, if another GOP nominee will win, if y'all's party will somebody else forward over an aging Biden, or if Biden himself will win a well-deserved second term.

But our history of Presidents is much more curious than most people realize.  But what I do know is that very, very soon...Donald Trump...the 45th President of the United States.  And perhaps the 47th (hopefully not, but history is a mad scientist).  He is going to die.  And for the first and only occurrence in every single lifetime of every poster on here...we will witness the celebration of a fallen President.  We all watched Presidents get voted out, impeached, even shot.  But we all rallied and wished them well because they were public servants, public leaders, public disciples.  But we get to watch Donald Trump die.  We get to celebrate it.  We get to watch the world embrace it.  We get to see his moronic followers weep over his casket in the Capitol while we wind them up to murder one another at the post-game tailgate.  We get to see, for the first time in the history of our Republic, the dead body of our former Head of State, literally get pissed on.  That is not nothing.  We have buried controversial presidents, mourned those that died in office, or went to the other side after passing in old age despite controversy and tumult.  But this guy is going out soon and we get to watch 24/7 coverage of the world celebrating his death and his confused acolytes seeking meaning in a time of great despair.  I get to laugh at tens of millions of stupid people in real time and show my children what true evil looks like with visual aids.  Enjoy it folks, because god willing-it will never, ever happen again in our lifetime.

Many of the world's worst despots have had their graves unmarked, moved, or destroyed so that they would not serve as rallying points for extremist movements.  We may actually get to shit on America's shittiest President.  Yeah, few of us gonna get arrested.  But think about that.  We get to debase the grave of our worst American, who somehow led us.

I remember my father remarking that Jimmy Carter leaving office in 1981 when I was a small boy was honorable and that he was a good man.  He told me about despite not liking him, weeping on a U.S. Navy ship after Kennedy was murdered in '63.  Our whole household was in shock and prayer mode when Reagan was shot.  My grand-uncle was an assistant secretary in the cabinet of Nixon & Ford and accompanied both of their motorcades when they left office out of patriotic pride.  

When Trump goes from this Earth...none of that decorum or tradition will matter.  I will snort lightning and inject thunder.  We will all make it because it's what God wants.  This miserable piece of shit isn't sent by the Lord our God to redeem us.  He was sent here to remind us we need to be better.  He's a Messianic test alright, but not the one his disciples think.  He exists as a harbinger. A reminder not to be a walking glob of immoral shit.  And he'll be gone.  We all will be.  But his will the most celebrated decay of flesh.  We'll write poems and songs and movies about how we enjoyed his demise.   Only challenge isn't the artistry, but how many followers we can get to go out with him.  Let us astonish Jim Jones and Charles Darwin alike.  My grandchildren will toast to what we do in this country in the next couple of years.  Let's make it a noble one...
