I have and it's not pretty. I wouldn't want to be the blue dickhead who finds themselves at odds with an American Red with no Democratic support because they're viewed as being such dickheads. Dude, I didn't get to the position that I'm at today by being nice, playing nice and trying to be friends with liberals/blues/progressives. Ask yourself this question, how thick is the Democratic barrier these days. I broke through that protective barrier many years ago and the blues found themselves losing ground, losing popularity and losing support ever since. Look around, you're down to less than a handful vs me and whoever else who wants to pitch in and do their part opposing the blues these days. I remember the day when regular Democrats and left leaning libertarians couldn't say shit or say anything bad and say anything they disliked about the blues in public. I changed that during my stint posting as KIA.
Eric quite often mixes his mystical way of looking at things with his politics. I generally don't oppose or reject him as his world view regarding things mystical is so different from mine that it does no good. You waste your time instead on the gun question.
Living in Massachusetts, I can expect a good solid conversation about liberal or progressive politics with most people. There are many common shared assumptions. Not so with a red extremist. A normal Massachusetts person will likely turn his ears off in rejection. There are few like me who would take the perspective seriously.
Now I have no doubt you world view will collide with the blues, that they will soon turn you off, tune you out, not take you seriously. That you communicated, that you won your argument, that you convinced people, that I do doubt. Like Eric's astrology, the common response is to roll one eyes and walk away from the crazy person. Members of both factions are generally too stubborn to change. That and your views are so tainted with absurdities as no one would take things based on the absurdities to be anything but absurd.
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.
