Though my go-to media outlets are Drudge, Breitbart, Molyneux and Christopher Cantwell (who is apparently some sort of National Capitalist/libertarian). My point is that the Dims have high time preferences in general. They always sow the seeds of their destruction themselves.
I really don't want to go into deeper detail than that here, a small section of Dims read and use this forum (and honestly I consider them enemies and like I wouldn't want to give my enemy a gun, I don't want to give them ideas--which are more devastating), as can be evidenced by the 65198498198465198498429882 threads comparing Trump to Hitler and the Confederacy. How much of that is due to the posters being Dim-o-crats or being brainless boomers (the largest segment of that generation since they were born) I have yet to determine. From what I can tell a large segment of the boomer population is stuck in some sort of time warp, and can't determine if it is still the 1990s or the 1960s.
While I find you far far more articulate than most, you still focus your information sources tightly and demonize those who disagree with you. The above pretty well pegs you as extreme partisan.
Not to say that comparing Trump to Hitler and the Confederacy doesn't accurately peg others as just as partisan the other way. The cartoon with Uncle Sam rolling up his sleeves had me rolling my eyes.
I don't see the Democrats as holding a patent and monopoly on shooting themselves in the foot. Since Nixon, the White House has been changing hands with such regularity to be absurd. I don't see Trump as breaking the pattern. The country has two sets of values and a confrontational attitude. We seem to be avoiding an escalating spiral of rhetoric and violence. That implies the see saw will continue unless somebody learns to listen.
Given your approach, I don't expect that somebody will be you.
That might be one of our larger differences. You have chosen a side, identified enemies and kept your secrets. I think we are low on ideas, and need to learn to listen, share and develop some new ideas.
Different directions.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
