We're WEIRD. Get over it.

The only dictators that I see are on the Democratic side these days. You better start learning to play by the rules and you better start placing a higher value on the rule of law as well. You see, if we end up at war with each other, there will be no protections for you or any of your politicians and we will be free to directly engage and eliminate all of you. Dude, the only world you know is the world that we represent today. You don't know anything about living in a world like Somalia or war torn Spain or the old Soviet Union or Nazi Germany or old Russia but you're going to find out soon enough if you so choose and opt to continue on the same destructive path that you're on right now.

Come the crisis, the progressives want to solve the most pressing problems facing the culture, but the conservatives think to leave the problems be.  History suggests the problems get solved.  That is how America progresses.  Today, the two problems bubbling to the top are COVID and racial violent policing.  Global Warming made the Democratic platform, but we'll see how much effort is truly applied.  As usual, the conservative faction is dragging their feet.  It will be real easy to make them look bad when the history books are written.

I am really curious as to what will happen with the Trump loyalists, the elite servitors and the true conservatives fight over the remnants of the Republican Party.
