IDBillzFan Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It's all pretty amazing to watch. They're conflating nationalism with racism and being stubbornly obtuse about it. They're accusing Trump of hatred while spouting hatred for Trump, along with any who do not openly share their hatred of Trump. They have no idea how badly they are marginalizing themselves, nor do they realize that they're calming the dislike of Trump previously held by many Republicans. A few months ago the "experts" were claiming that this election had changed the Republican party forever, but I think it's having a far greater impact on the Democrats.

Azalin Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Otherwise known as "Another day being a leftist." It's worse than that. Leftist dogma has always been idealistic, but there was a time not long ago where that ideal had a strong "we're all in this together" component that's now completely absent. Now John Lewis is taking the lead from the likes of Pelosi, Warren, and Sanders and fomenting a culture of hate. In my book, that's as anti-American left as it gets. To me it looks more like the creation of a wave of neo-fascism which will only serve to rot their party even further from the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with that. As it stands today, they are left with California, Detroit, and the Greater Macungie Utilities Commission. Popular vote aside (because thinking people know that was just California), they have lost touch with the American people. You can not, for eight years, force your will on them and their communities by... making them buy inferior products they don't want suing nuns into submission shuttering local businesses based on religious beliefs pretending every terror act is simply a misunderstood person or workplace violence penalizing and shuttering political dissent through government agencies forcing people to pay into their money laundering scheme ...without the American people finally, collectively understanding that, as a political party, the Democrats have only one interest: forcing their ideology on the public. As a representative republic, the country ultimately WILL adjust to what it wants, not what the Democrats want to force on them. Hence, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It really shouldn't be hard for the Trump administration to rally most of the public behind the big federal government issues but they have to make effective presentations with facts. We badly need to educate citizens on the big issues and I hope this administration being led by a business person with other business people in the cabinet will do that but I'm prepared to be disappointed. Even when good people find their way to Washington, they quickly end up in the political mud pit. Hopefully Trump and his crew can begin to get most people on the same page and when I say most that includes the 20% or so of Democrats that will listen with an open mind. Trump however seems very capable of blowing the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you listen to the left and you would think that the fringe attitude is pervasive within the entire right/conservative/libertarian side.

Alaska Darin Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 https://www.gofundme.com/great-tornado-to-inaugural-parade If the right was as "raysis" as the left says, they wouldn't have raised nearly $600k so a band from a traditional African American university could travel and play at the inauguration.

Azalin Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Students are marching in down town Austin right now, some wearing ISIS-style head coverings to hide their identity, carrying signs with slogans like "save a human, kill a NAZI". It appears to be peaceful for the most part, but local news is reporting that things will pretty much be shut down starting at 5pm when the official protest starts out from Auditorium Shores and makes it's way up Congress to the Capital. Austin traffic is always a nightmare as it is at 5pm, and especially so on Fridays. This is really going to piss a lot of people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
