The Partisan Divide on Issues

This difference in popularity reflects the values of more Americans.  Most value lives over dollars.  This is not true of all.  Many of the elite have enough money to isolate and don’t care about those who do not.

That is why I am not worried too much about violence.  The rural militias have always accepted election results, even when the first black president was elected.  Seeing Trump make a mockery of their values, they want to get rid of him and his enablers in the senate.  They may regret that this puts someone blue in charge, but they will do what they have to do to save lives.

I could respect a conservative opposition if they could get rid of any elitist or racist taint.  It may happen in the near future, or it may not.  The Tea Party was beginning to reject the elitist tendencies, but latched on to the biggest alligator in the swamp.  I hope the Republican base gets enamored of someone who is against both the elitist and racist tendency.  I am a little confused that you do not agree, that you are enamored still with the elitist and racist Trump.

I see a big struggle coming after the election to pick up the conservative vote.  Neither the racists nor the elites are going away lightly, but both factions have been badly discredited by Trump.  Can something honorable come out on top?  Not my fight, but I will be watching.

Yep. We have some governors and a portion of legislators and law enforcement officials who are currently employed and receiving regular paychecks and campaign contributions who are placing the lives of people who should already be isolated and protected as much as humanly possible, knowing what we all pretty much know about COVID19 these days and completely ignoring the needs of the private sector and private citizens and working classes which represent the bunk of their present day and future tax base that won't be sticking around for the aftermath afterwards. Personally, I don't really care if you glue yourself to Rachel or Cuomo and old Biden and the 1 percent's choice for his replacement or choose to only listen or unfortunately being stuck listening to whatever expert or political operative they pay to come on their show to tell you what you want to hear and continue to believe in them. You're a big boy Bob and I'm not your parent.
