Partisan Hate Is Becoming a National Crisis

Good for them. I hope many of them put their money where their mouths are, break laws and do a whole bunch of other stupid **** like try to take up arms. Seeing Trumpers bankrupted, behind bars and/or dead gives me pleasure.

How can you take pleasure in a fellow American’s misery?
 
'The Most Politically Intolerant Americans'
Peter Berkowitz, RealClearPolitics

. . . But, as the authors assert in “The Geography of Partisan Prejudice,” intolerance of political differences is not evenly distributed throughout the nation. A PredictWise poll commissioned by The Atlantic produced results — based, it should be said, on a combination of data and aggressive extrapolation — that Ripley, Tenjarla, and He found “surprising in several ways.” The core finding, contrary to their expectations, was that “the most politically intolerant Americans” lived in neighborhoods that tended to be home to a higher proportion of whites and people who were “more highly educated, older, more urban, and more partisan themselves.” . . .
The authors are confident that they have discovered a correlation: “Older Americans and people living in or near sizable cities, from Dallas, Texas, to Seattle, Washington State, seem to be more likely to stereotype and disdain people who disagree with them politically.” But Ripley, Tenjarla, and He lament that, based on the social science research, they can’t determine “what is causing what.”
Perhaps the scientific evidence has not yet been comprehensively gathered and thoroughly sifted and analyzed. However, in a parenthetical remark grounded in Mutz’s research, the authors themselves provide a potent hint about causes: “people who went to graduate school have the least amount of political disagreement in their lives.” Although the Atlantic writers overlook the hypothesis, there is good reason to suppose that an important contributing factor to the partisan prejudice disproportionately afflicting denizens of major metropolitan areas is the stifling climate of opinion fostered by, and the politicized education on offer at, America’s top colleges and universities.
According to the interactive map of the distribution of partisan prejudice across the country that accompanies the authors’ article, Middlesex County in Massachusetts occupies the 100[SUP]th[/SUP]percentile. That “means that 0 out of every 100 counties are more prejudiced against the political ‘other.’” Middlesex County is home to Harvard University.
New Haven County, home to Yale, falls in the 85[SUP]th[/SUP] percentile; Mercer County, where Princeton is located, ranks in the 86[SUP]th[/SUP] percentile. In California's Bay Area, Santa Clara County, the location of Stanford, occupies the 82nd percentile; Alameda County, the site of UC-Berkeley, made the 90th percentile.

Our leading colleges and universities are not only situated in places that are overwhelmingly “more prejudiced against the political ‘other.’” They also duplicate within their academic communities the conditions that foster partisan prejudice. . . .

Do you honestly expect sane people to find a solution with the Rush Limpjaw crowd?


Internment camps is the solution. When they get violent, as they are prone to do, stick those ****ers in there one by one, and shoot those who resist arrest.

Those ****ers are Americans. We have to over come Lush and Faux, come together as country men or we’ll lose everything.

:shrug: I'm not going to be nice to people who will never be nice to me. Simple as that. I'll kick them in the teeth before they can kick me though. That I will ensure you.

Because we love our country ... more than that, more than anything, most of all.

If we don’t get along and work together we will lose EVERYTHING!

Not just us, not just them, every body; there will be NO Government of, for, by the people.

No. When they go low, we kick them in the teeth.


You are free to go high. I know my way works. I saw what happened to your way. We end up with a retard as president.

There is no point in trying to reason with those who rant about a dead Senator and kiss the fat ass of President Golf Outings while ignoring real issues like our crumbling infrastructure, the joke we call a healthcare system, North Korea, the epidemic of gun violence, hate crimes (unless someone calls a white male a name), and the ramifications of climate change. None.

Your way is the other side of the hate news cloth. If “winning” destroys the country we all lose!

We can’t win playing their game of hate, it makes them stronger.

I don't know if it makes anyone stronger.....the issue is that no one wants to listen anymore,

I absolutely deplore the "entitled" mentality that I get from the left (my perspective, right or wrong) it aggravates me to no end, because I've been on the end of the spectrum with $20 in my pocket and nothing else, and I did what I had to, to survive, worked whatever jobs I could get no matter how ****ty, to get to where I am now, and as the old saying goes, if I can do it, anyone can do it. But the whole guaranteed income as part of the OAC deal, or guaranteed college etc, pisses me off and I can't get behind it.

Having said that, that doesn't mean that AOC is evil, or people who like it are the enemy, different perspectives different thoughts etc, they have to be heard, and right now...there is none of that, it's either, you are with us or against us, and that's in the CONGRESS....let alone in the public,

I thought it was absolutely BS that Pelosi and AOC or whomever it was, called out members of their own party, for voting what they thought was right, or voting for their constituents etc, how in the hell can you call someone out for that, then proclaim you want whats best for the country??
