I know you didn't mean it this way but it kinda reads like your calling yourself... :-) Anyway. You're right that neither party holds exclusive rights on stupid people. The problem is that one party is actively promoting ignorance right now. You can't even start to fix it because ignoring facts and keeping people from recognizing what is real and what is fake is a goal of the GOP. It has to be because their message of "Vote for us so we can help make the really really rich people who give us money a little more rich" doesn't exactly resonate. 26 minutes ago, Gibbit said: Or maybe we can do the yearly Purge This is what I've been saying.

Its America **** yeah before ya start in on me I haven't had a president in my lifetime that I didn't appreciate. I do think the republican voters ****ed up on the "anti-politician" thing with Trump. Its seemed like a good plan, but hes not presidential Edited August 5, 2018 by Gibbit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Richard Pryor being elected after running a "none of the above" campaign.

Gibbit Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) The majority of people in this country on both sides are good people. Honestly I have no idea how any of my friends or their spouses vote....never asked them, don't care Weird times will pass for some weirder ones...always seems the case, but its always the good old days in the rear view HTTR (ten beers in at this point...seems like the right thing to end on) Edited August 5, 2018 by Gibbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll never "fix" them, rehabilitate them, teach them, reach them, and we're seeing each and every day that America herself cannot just suffer them, they are a spreading and increasingly toxic infection. There is nothing to this arrogant "they're too stupid" nonsense that's new. It's the way political extremes have been describing each other for a very long time. It's the way governments have described people they've systematically harmed. The idea that those who see things differently than us, are lesser than us and a danger to us isn't an argument that moves us forward. Just look at how quickly it took you to "they are a spreading and increasingly toxic infection." What does one do to spreading infections anyway? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that point comes, those people become traitors and must be treated as such. That was the mistake after the Civil War that only General Sherman seemed to understand. They should be shown no mercy. You starting your own militia? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of people on both sides were good people. I dont know where where the line gets drawn to separate the good from the bad on both sides, I just know there’s a heck of a lot more bad that I ever though until the last few years. I suppose I was just naive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) doesn’t that already happen? 2) if these people are willing to perform an act of treason and harm innocents because they believe in the Donald Trump platform that is deemed treasonous then I would hope our military would try and protect this country. That’s what we have been told they are doing overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused. +) why did we go from alphabet to numerical? ?) the military usually follows the commander in chief. But this is a situation the country hasn't faced in recent times.

Two of my employees have spouses in the National Guard who have been deployed to Afghanistan for over 400 days. I'll be sure to tell them that they are not part or "our military" if they return safely. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
