Blurt, stop being so diplomatic. Let's see some raw emotion, like that time your favourite wig shrunk in the wash...
Diplomatic? Raw emotion?
Here's the thing, Scouse, while everyone here appears to be engaged in games of political oneupmanship, trying to "out-outrage" the "other side" and to chalk up more damage at that hands of their political enemies on their own scoreboards than their nemeses do, Americans are turning against each other and people are dying.
I find that loss of life tragic, regardless of which end of the political spectrum it visits. Tragic, because, in a land that lauds everybody's freedom to speak their mind, you'd think people would choose to use that freedom to express their beliefs rather than resort to looting, burning, rioting, shooting, and vehicular homicide.
Y'all need to shake your damn heads and snap out of it.
And another thing, Scouse, having spent as many years, decades even, as I have in dealing with crisis situations, I've come to see that "raw emotion," as you call it, is the one thing that will get people hurt or killed. Rage, anger, and hatred are the gasoline that continuously fuels tragedy. Let cooler heads prevail and there's a better chance that a situation where "raw emotions" are exploding everywhere like mishandled fireworks will be amenable to some kind of de-escalation. De-escaltation means a reduction in harm and loss of life.
Now I know that de-escalation never ranks very highly as a strategy with the dick-swinging knuckle-draggers who work as doormen at the local club, but you ought to look into it anyway.
A drowning man asea is also high on "raw emotion." If you join him in his panicked flailing and start similarly thrashing about, because "raw emotion," you're not only not helping him, but you're going down under, too. Keep yer wits about ye, lad. In a crisis, be helpful, even-tempered, cool-headed, and diplomatic.
And always hand wash your wigs.
