Depends. Are you a rich, white, straight male? You will be fine and can ignore everything. But if you are any shade of brown, an immigrant or belong to any minority group or are female or have loved ones belonging to anyone of these groups, then you should pay attention as they might genuinely be in danger.

    Good list. Need to add "healthy" to it, too.

    Somewhat redundant. He already said "rich."

    This is probably my fav comment here because he absolutely could have been saved. What a shame.

    I'm not riding his dick. I just think Apple was less awful under his leadership than under Tim Apple. I know the software would be in better shape.

    I keep hearing this "if you're a straight, white male, you'll be fine." I'm a straight "white passing" male (half Cuban, with no Latin origin names).

    When people say this, I ask, "what about my friends? What about my family? What about the people I love?" Does that not affect me? Are we supposed to ignore their plight?

    I don't see what we can do to combat Trump short of organizing and fighting back. We all know how good the left are at that.

    If you can get out do so and I hate the idea of more guns on the streets but if at this point everyone that's at risk or has loved ones at risk needs to be armed as much as possible and have a go bag ready to go. If goon squads are coming for ya don't go quietly with them.

    How do you think we got anything good at all, ever?

    Also, bullshit. You think climate change doesn't affect us? The damage to NATO? Threatening Greenland?

    I get your point that a lot of hate is directed at immigrants and minority groups, but you don't need to be dismissive to such a large group of people, many of which are on your side.

    Don't try to make extra enemies. No war but class war.
