My tongue and cheek response, it sure would be nice if there was a magical love potion or heavenly mist or a massive bong or opium pipe pumping out smoke but I don't think so. No, unfortunately, we are on the verge of going to war in the modern day era the good old fashioned American way.(10-11-2019, 10:02 PM)pbrower2a Wrote: It's really simple.

Can this be said for political difference as well out of sheer curiousity and a tongue in cheek moment....otherwise I agree except for certain people like narcissists who make this VERY difficult. I have my future mother in law in mind. Yes she is an actual narcissist unfortunately who is obsessed with tight control over everyone. Can I respect that difference? Not to the point it destroys those around her. My philosophy is live and let live so long as you aren't harming others.
Yes, the Progressives are capable of shouting down a portion of a blue city or a federal freeway running through a blue city or instigating large scale rioting within blue areas or picking on/ smearing some subordinate public official and slowing down something/ temporally stopping something/ hampering something that's commonly viewed as important to our national interest, national security or common defense/national defense. As I've said, the progressives are in deep shit here and it's the Progressives who don't seem to get it, understand it, realize it or seem to care about it all at this point. Does your country have 60 some million people who are private people who are privately funded who own their own stuff who receive the least and require little as far as government support who pay the most as far as taxes who are politically connected to a national party known as the GOP/Republican that knows them and appreciates that about them and still honors an agreement made a few hundred that we refer to as our Constitution and honor the flag that we refer to as our flag. I'm helping you understand the true dynamics of American politics today.
In America, it's the Progressives and their supporters, the retired Democrat loyalists and the retired Republican party loyalists ( the Republican loyalist of old are kind of split and feeling homeless at the moment) are the bulk of ones who participate in most poles which is why the poles are often skewed in favor of the Democrats. The bulk of the Republican base and the American public in general has other more important/pressing things to do with its time than answering phones and participating in polls.
