You see, the industrialized world that was pummeled during World War II rebuilt and caught up so to speak. Dude, a strong economy and lower taxes across the board favors all working Americans. Blacks Lives Matter is racist and feeding off black racism which why so many Americans are turned off by the name of the organization.

That remains laughable.  The Republicans favored the elites and racists and that preference is finally coming home to roost.  Many reds are now beginning to see it.  I don't doubt you are too ideological blind to do so.

In your mind that be the case and viewed as true. I mean, you are a progressive Democrat  who hates the Republicans and the Republican party.

Hate is the wrong word.  They have their place.  When LBJ went further than the people were ready to go and an unravelling mood stuck, selfishness, a resistance to change plus the elite and racist tendencies were in season.

But right now they have gone way beyond the point of diminishing return.  A crisis heart is not the time to be advocating the old values.

I am kind of anticipating that the racist tendency at least will be purged in the crisis heart and high.  The next generation of conservatives will be different.  By the next unravelling they might be the voice of the people again.

I am not as ideological as many people here are.  They are with one party or the other regardless of where we are in the cycles.  That is a good way to be wrong at least part of the time.

Have their place???? Boy does that sound like the words of an elitist. What place is that master? The back of the bus. You better wake and come to grips with the fact that we can stick in the back of the bus or throw you under the bus these days. The racist tendency won't be purged unless the Democrats take a hard line with all the racist minority groups that are supporting them today. So, how do the liberal Democrats do that without being called a racist or hurt politically these days? You're right about the danger of reinvesting in diminishing returns.
