      Please enlighten me on how this is a boy who cried wolf situation? Trump has materially done many, many, many things that would individually be disasterous

      Are you seriously arguing that he’s not really all that bad, or are you just here to troll?

        Did you ever finish that story?

        In the end, a wolf actually does come and eat the boy. The wolf is real, the boy just abused his post too much and now he can’t rely on people responding to his cried.

        the lesson was supposed to be ‘don’t cry wolf’, but we’ve already moved on to the ‘he’s just crying wolf’ part of the story and now the boy has to figure out how to get people to help him

          If the village already KNEW the wolf was real and had already killed a bunch of kids, their refusal to respond seems incredibly dumb.

            The story had nothing to say about the rationality of ignoring the warning, just that it was foolish for the boy to abuse it.

            You can either cross your fingers that enough people still believe you or find another way to bring them out (convince the boy to stop supporting… the… the other wolf I guess? Idk this analogy is getting tired)
