The rest of us not obsessed with trump and turning everything into a trump issue wish you would be launched into space as well.

I'm glad we could find common ground.

I wouldn’t have brought up the President here because he’s simply not relevant, but I would love to understand better the privilege of folks who can get away with “not caring” about the commander in chief.

Not being obsessed != not caring.

People who are obsessed do bring it whenever it is relevant or not.

"Not turning everything into a Trump issue" is not the same thing as "the privilege of folks who can get away with 'not caring' about the commander in chief".

Is me setting my alarm for 630am "a Trump issue"? If I think it is not, am I "privileged" and "don't care about the commander in chief"? If it is, why am I "so obsessed with Trump and//or the commander in chief?

Yes, my example is ridiculous -- and you see my point. Not everything is "Trump" or "who the president is", being able to tell the difference doesn't necessarily make someone privileged or not.

It sure would have been nice to be off planet for the majority of this nightmare.
