Don’t blame me for pointing that out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (1 child) Who is blaming who for what? I agree with your first comment, I'm just expanding on what I believe are the further implications. People like Trump will never feel they have "enough" leverage over others. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago We (collectively) have a big problem with failing to recognize "yes, and" replies around here.
