We? Do you mean you and Professor Severus Snape when you say "we"? Or all the Marxists progressives who post here? I'm not sure what's going on! :lol:
Probably most people who like to see some semblance of normalcy and reason in the posts of others.
You do realize Trump is an Alpha leader? Does that bother you?

Alpha Leader
1. Dominance and Control
2. Confidence and Assertiveness
3. Decisivness
4. Competitive
Those are pretty empty characteristics, Hound. The only thing troubling is watching how you get off on thinking about your love-object Trump.

What a bunch of groveling drivel. You can send Trump your love letter directly. WE don't want to watch you gratify your desires.
We? Do you mean you and Professor Severus Snape when you say "we"?
He said "we" and not just "me" because he's what the culture's feeling. ;)

Imagine. Whether you like Trump or hate him, imagine believing that confidence and assertiveness are empty. That says a lot - about you, Kish. Intimidated much? Are you actually afraid or just talking out of your ass? I have an idea, call your local DNC folks and tell them that you don't want confident or assertive leadership.
Ban Whiskey permanently if that's the only way.

Yeah, they are empty because in themselves they don't tell you where things are going! Ya know, goals, smart guy?

God, you're effing dense. Try reading before you respond. If you sit back and think for a second, the meaning of what you are responding to may dawn on you!

So you didn't say they were empty characteristics? Or, you didn't mean what you said?

I am, by far, the dumbest person on this board and possible the dumbest person you have ever met. So deal with me factually.

Try reading without eisegesis. I am not confident you can because there is too much else going on. I don't think you can help yourself. Still, that's my recommendation.

Oh boy! Your response provides us with insight into Kishkumen. What it suggests is that, as a critic of dominance, decisiveness, and assertiveness, you have never had to lead under pressure in your life. It suggests that you have consistently held a position that demands minimal effort from you, and you probably appreciate that arrangement.

An Alpha leader, contrary to popular belief, is a genuine personality trait that organizations, the military, and companies worldwide actively search for. These leaders are essential for providing reliability during challenging times. Alpha leadership involves taking initiative when others falter, making difficult decisions, and taking responsibility for the results.

It's no secret, we all know you're a professor, so i can understand why you might perceive those traits as intimidating. Because they require a backbone and i have never met a professor with a backbone! Dismissing Alpha Leadership as superficial reveals more about your own discomfort than their inherent worth.

Leave it to you to botch it. No, HoH. Better luck next time. You got it wrong.

Yep, you missed the point. You are talking to yourself and for your own pleasure. I invite you to read what I said, not to spray out your monologue for your readership of two.
