There is nothing more set in their ways than a hardcore Liberal. You can smack them in the face with facts and truth and it just doesn't matter. From Global Freaking Warming to Trump-Russian Collusion to Atheism, they are stuck on stupid. Of course they are amusing to make fun of.

They'd be a real hoot, if they weren't allowed to vote. That's the scary part. It's like approaching a foul mouthed youth and asking if he kisses his Mom with that mouth, only it's 'do you vote with that brain?'

😆 this begs the observation was the allowed part anything to do with th recent reports on same? scary depends on another level of insecurity,that's unnecessary but ..

2020 will be about which base turns out. Forget about the middle. They don't count. I am thinking or hoping that the 2 and a half years that Liberals have been bat crap nuts over Trump-Russian Collusion has burned them out. Sustaining that much pure hate for that long is really hard. I am thinking that for a lot of them anger has turned to apathy.

Judging by the first Trump rally, his base is up for the war.

there's truth albeit rare about turnout , the rest isn't worth addressing save the mistake about the middle.
Americans have witnessed 2.5 years of something never seen before.
can someone out there kindly point out all the " hate " that keeps being thrown around, I don't see it and am out in the world,where izzit? it's seen but not by any suggested.

up for war? how is this a good thing? didn't tune in,know someone who may.

It is not a good or a bad thing. It is what is. It is reality. During the 8 years of Obama, the swamp declared war on America. It's people, it's values, it's history, it's statues, it's gendered bathrooms, it's gendered marriages, it's ways of life, and it's borders. With the selection of Donald J. Trump America has finally decided to make war back on the swamp. By all indications, the swamp is unhappy about the whole Trump thingy.

You present an excellent article to move this topic forward in a civil and reasonable way, which I commended, and then you spew nasty, stupid crap like this. Obviously, it seems, that article did not agree with your true feelings: the Left is anti-American and the Right are the true patriots. Just say that next time and stop with the bling of fairness. It will be very hard to take anything you say from here on out as truthful.

And why not? They're doing better now than they've done in years, and there's no end in sight. Life is a lot sweeter for a whole lot of people, and not only do they go to work, but they vote, and they know where the prosperity is being fomented from.

Whatever suits you. Keep up with the one-sided critique, it doesn't much bother me...

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

It seems we already have “ socialism” in our social programs and all that is wanted is to spread our wealth type balance for all citizens.. Riiiggghhhtt~

It also seems if they flower a more simplified, less restrictive format of socialism it will sell their plan of a “new version” of socialism that then achieves momentum until full fledged socialism arrives .. Omar, Cortez, sanders preach the benefits of socialistic status of our country~~ do you wonder why?? Who is really behind them?? Where did the Democratic Socialist originate from anyway?? Or the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)? What really is the motive behind the movement???

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

I find agreement in what you say son but also feel we have to stop the hate and division some how~ It serves no purpose but to continue to be the enemy from within, wherein, we the people are tearing our nation apart..

Has the entire damn world gone mad?? Better yet, do we feed it or find compromise none will really like but puts us back on track to a united front to achieve FOR our country, not some damn criminal hill elitist.. Party is s a farce.. Its also why nothing changes regardless of the party in control...

If you don’t love our country and you are not going to defend it against any invasion, including tyranny then move the hell out of it!!! That's what I have to say~~ right or wrong.. . ( you, not meaning you, son)

To succumb to those who would rather have a Civil War to force control and suppression upon the people to hell with them! That is exactly what they want~~ We are better than that, significantly better!

We are children of a time when every day could have seen the total, irreversible destruction of everything we knew and loved. That 'cold war' ended nearly thirty years ago with the fall of the Soviet Union. Today we have a whole generation of grown men and women who have no inkling of what it's like to wake up in the morning and get ready for school wondering if today is going to be 'the day'. They do not understand the inherent wrongs and basic evils associated with socialism / communism because they will not look around them and take in what they see. It is no threat to them. Yet. Venezuela is the poster boy of socialism right now and it ain't pretty, but try making these young, sheltered American adults see that. Many have been told that the Venezuelan people are suffering deprivations because of American interference, and they believe it to be the truth.

As for who is behind this latest socialist 'push' and their motives, I have no frame of reference to gauge that. It must be a small but wealthy and powerful international group to garner such influence and gather the kind of support we're seeing for these efforts. No doubt a quick internet search would provide a list of 'usual suspects', but nothing substantial to tie it all together.

As for me, I'll just soldier on as usual, secure in my ability to defend myself, my family and my way of life. Once I'm gone, it'll be up to those left behind to make their own decisions, I'll be in a happier place and honestly don't much care what happens after I'm gone, I did my part, that's what matters to me.

Well stated, L-J

From a past post of mine: Most people I know find ways to argue over the 10% of what they disagree with others on, rather than dwell on the 90% in which they agree. While neither liberal nor conservative supporters are always right or wrong, I honestly believe that the vast majority of OPPers are true Patriots who want only the best for our nation. Like it or not, the fact that there are varying opinions on how to achieve that should not detract from the fact that we are all in this together. If there is not give and take, nothing gets resolved. I fully expect to hear from those (on both sides) who feel they always give, and the other always takes.

Thank you. It is an honor to know you.

I listen earnestly to all critiques: a strong preference for truth no matter the cost. Dismiss a critique, and you may miss the best or worse part of you, which diminishes.
