people with ptsd and other mental illnesses exist all over the world. why is it that only in america we see these shootings? the variable factor here is not mental illness, so it has to be something else. that's all i mean. the details of how or why people may develop PTSD are not relevant (for the record the cases i was referencing are legitimately diagnosed but it really doesn't matter). i made the reference to dog death as a potential example because it's important that people realize PTSD exists outside of war trauma, because those cases are often over-represented

also i kinda anticipate people still being stuck on the dog death thing so i'll agree that the example wasn't fleshed-out enough to be effective. i was thinking of more traumatic circumstances, e.g. witnessing a more gruesome kind of injury or health event leading up to the death, but i was wrong to assume my mind beams would magically reach everyone else.

ptsd people shouldnt be allowed guns

ptsd is just an anxiety disorder. it can develop from any traumatic experience like abuse or even from just seeing your dog die. i know several people with PTSD and there's not really anything about their symptoms that would make them any threat. we shouldn't be so hasty to blame shootings on mental illness; it's a red herring distracting from the well-demonstrated gun problems in america

If it were any other democratic party, sure, but these people are only capable of shooting themselves in the foot and shoving said foot so far into their own mouths they stuff toenails. If anything this will give them the platform to make themselves look even more handicapped when they start stonewalling policies most Americans actually agree with (IE immigration enforcement). I don't see this as a win for the democrats or a loss for the Republicans because the only thing that changes is the democrats having a slightly louder microphone with which to express their handicapation

possibly very true

democrats have had a tough time challenging republicans the past while in rhetoric, so i'm guessing their main play will continue to just be blocking whatever they can, and historically americans don't tend to like that sort of play. like you mentioned, i think most americans tend to agree on what policy needs to change, they just disagree about what those changes should be, but in the end, republicans are still going to have much more say in how those sorts of things go. the main thing is, republicans don't get to run everything over democrats anymore. they have to make at least enough compromise to get a house majority, and that could make all the difference for democrats. as long as the senate balance stays about the same, democrats still also have a very respectable presence there too; if republicans don't have an easy 60 votes in there, that effectively means democrats can automatically kills lots of highly contentious legislation. since democrats don't control the presidency though, and they almost certainly won't have an easy 2/3 vote to override a veto, they're still playing the republicans' game

Republicans maintain the senate + flip blue seats and you think we lost because the dems gained the house, which doesn't do anything to help them in 2020 and doesn't stall Annoying Orange or hurt his chances in 2020 whatsoever

Whatever comforts you though

was this election about 2020? would getting the senate have helped them in 2020? this is about Annoying Orange's ability to move policy for the next two years, and the democrats just gained a split congress. now they have actual political leverage in legislation. is that not a victory? republicans still have the advantage overall since they control the senate, presidency, and most of the executive branch, but gaining control of the house certainly puts dems ahead of where they've been the past two years.
