I've been arguing with myself all day on whether to post this or not. Obviously "post it" won.
There exists in this country a cultivated mindset that conservatives are all things evil. We have gradually devolved into fictional characters, invented by the left, and animated by whatever awful thoughts, beliefs, and imaginary actions the anti-American hate cult can conjure up, mostly on the basis that we still have faith, or love our country, or believe in true justice rather than socialist justice.

It is a fascinating process, watching yourself being defined by people who actively practice what they pretend to condemn. The awful things that they project upon us don’t spring from our minds, but from theirs. Those terrible thoughts and dark motives are bred in their own warped psyches. When they spring forth, we are assured that these are what drive others but not themselves.

I think this situation is growing more and more foreboding and dangerous. Beyond that I'm seeing far more tendencies on the right to push back rather than ignoring or retreating from the perpetrator. It's scary. I don't remember a time in decades where there was so much naked aggression between the sides.
I remember the time when both sides wanted basically the same things; they just had differing opinions on how to get there. I don't believe that still exists. The right and left have dramatically different images of what America will look like in the future.
 
I can't believe you take this hack job of an op ed seriously.

With illegals voting as planned, we really could be only an election away. In the words of Sgt. Plumley, prepare to defend yourselves.

Conspiracy theories and conservative victimhood the hallmark of the modern right. You have President victim who lives in a world of his own creation and you cherish him.
 
Numero Uno of the Trump Modus Operandi: Never miss an opportunity to make yourself victim #1 (and then make sure to project that it’s the snowflake liberals who are always pretending to be victims).

The article suggested it's been going on for a long time, but I think Trump accelerated the process.

Imagine: it only took one post to get the perfect example of what the author was talking about. :cool:

For sure, it's been going on for some time...probably since Bush Jr. And yes...the Trump haters turned it up to 20 with Trump.

Been going on since long before Trump. But you illustrate the mentality the article describes.

Scary to think what will happen if Trump wins in 2020.
 
Trump demonizes the squad of minority women Democratic congress women to dangerous levels. Republicans run propaganda that the left is demonizing Republicans to dangerous levels. You're part of their machine.

Yup, if Hillary won, the Left would be Prozac nation. Calm, serene, care-free and none the wiser about Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussia.

Interesting. Can you expound? What did they hope to accomplish with Obama, or was he just more electable?

Or, about the corruption in the Obama administration.

I don't consider it dangerous at all. I'm well armed, which I know the leftists abhor. So let them do their worst. I would gladly help thin the crowd of the anti-American leftists who become violent - yet again.

I read that long winded rant you linked ranting about the "left" demonizing "conservatives" with no examples or evidence. 0/10.

Anyone with a brain has seen that "conservatism" has shifted far to the right, and under Drumpf it has become extremely reactionary, with many historians citing the fascistic bend....whereas the left is carrying on with FDR reforms (expanding HC, bringing tax rates closer to the 30 Great Years, etc). I'm not surprised that this con can't see what is in front of him, just as he could not see the Great Recession in 2008.
