I Think That Donald Trump Is Dangerous For This Country

I just heard from the nice man that less than 1% will be affected by the Exec.Orders on Muslim nations travel. Whew, OMG I'm grateful.
But then I remembered that racially conspicuous police shootings affect less than 1% of Americans... Well that's good, but now We're looking at 2%... well less than 2%... OK, whew.
Then I look into the numbers of families where kids may be separated from parents who have to be deported for coming here illegally - while the kids are untouchable due to their birth here, well, that's less than 1%.
The number of lifelong Americans who will be accidentally deported by paperwork or employee error is like less than 1%, again a number that the 330million of us can deal with -- that's like 3 million people or less. ok, ok.
and the number of people who will be deported and not-allowed to return leaving their employers scrambling for qualified and experienced personnel who know the job -- well that might be less than 1%.
The number of Americans affected by reinstating most states' bans on gay marriages will likely only affect 1% of Americans.
The number of women needing an abortion who will probably not be able to because their state has been allowed to reinstate blanket anti-abortion policies may only be about 1% of Americans.
The amount of Americans who will likely have healthcare yanked out from under them when Trump decides to act before the replacement is put into action, well that might be just 1%.
The volume of Americans incarcerated at any given moment is, we'll. it's like 1.5% BUT the scale of Americans who will or have been incarcerated since 1995, well that's like 5-6%, living. Since 1/4 of people in jails and prisons are suspected to have been falsely incarcerated, that's like 1.5% who've had their lives falsely hijacked and had to flounder at rebuilding ... so between those falsely shipwrecked by miscarriages of justice and those currently behind bars, well that's like 3%... Oh, 3% that's not so scary...
But now we're up to 9% -- well or less than.
The numbers of Americans who will be driven out of work by destruction of environmental, justice watchdog, dept. of interior science, alternative energy, US government management, justice department specialty, mental health, military support and education support jobs will surely be a little less than 1%, but I'm sure they can find other work -- though that may affect another ?% of American's seeking jobs in the fields they will be flocking to. (Certainly not lobbying, though, ha haa.)... So I'm up to what LESS THAN 11-12%, right?
But then everyone of those people lives in something less than a vacuum, they all have needy parents who will have health concerns, kids (some with disabilities), spouses, business partners and employers (who depend upon them)... so the percentage of affected Americans ... well that might double. a bit less than 22%.


Now, let's [c=#359E00]Nuke NYC[/c]. Just the 5 boroughs, mind you, just 8 million people and not even all of them will die in the blast, some might even live after the fallout and everything...
What? Why are you mad at me? That's just just just
a little less than
2.5% of the US.
LA or Chicago? less than 2% each
Dal-Worth-ington or Houston to Waco? less than 1.5% each
Boston, Philly, Atlanta areas under 1.75% each
DC area, St.Louis, Hampton Roads, Detriot, Nashville, Miami only about 0.7% each
Baltimore, NOLA, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle.. now we're talking bargain basement at 0.5% on down to 0.25%.

"But now we're up to 9%"

That's not how that works.

"So I'm up to what LESS THAN 11-12%, right?"

No, that's not how that works. That's not how any of this works.

See that's the thing... you think something here works. Everyone here can agree something is NOT working, something is broken. You tell me what % of the US is negatively affected if we let these refugees and immigrants in from those 7 countries -- given that no one from those countries has ever been involved in any attack on US soil.
WHILE you consider saying something about Sept.11 mull over the 4 countries those attackers came from ... NONE of those 4 countries are on the list. We aren't slowing down a single Saudi, Lebanese, Egyptian or Emirate-subject.

@zmedleff1: "See that's the thing... you think something here works."

See, that's the thing, that's called strawman logical fallacy.

"Everyone here can agree something is NOT working,"

Again, false. You were not appointed to speak for everyone, nor do you have the ability to do so.

"given that no one from those countries has ever been involved in any attack on US soil."

That too is called strawman.

"WHILE you consider saying something about Sept.11 "

WHILE you consider being a presumptuous windbag, take a moment to realize that you don't have a single clue of what I'm about to say.

So, maybe you should take a few minutes to actually present a carefully reasoned and coherent argument.

You've even just demonstrated a lack of understanding of the Strawman Logical Fallacy which you do on the other comment chain by attacking something other than the issues and by attacking someone else's point while addressing me.
You're ability to conduct this is insufficient and you only demonstrate Dunning–Kruger effect.

@zmedleff1: Come back when you have a valid argument.

@Booyeah: Me come back? To my OWN post? You won't let me come back to MY OWN POST? OOooooKkAaayyy.
Already said you're done. Arguing with you makes me dumber so I've stopped.
