example, the writer of this article was a strong lefty and what he sees as disastrous policy, I seee as common sense.

And when lefties say they want
Common Sense gun laws, it's only common sense to Them. I say
Armed teachers are common sense.

Why do the people who believe OUR COUNTRY should have no doors have locks on their houses?
People should be free to go where they want, right?

No duhh, dude..

Huhh?
Whatchew tawkin Bout, Willis?

Who holds the microphone......?

When gathered at any event, those with the amplified voice, set the agenda.
The liberals have enjoyed this luxury for a spell now.

They garnered this power from the push back of the Joseph McCarthy era/mindset.
As with all movements, the resistance morphs into the very power hungry machine, they were fighting against, to begin with.......

I think this "threat" of civil war is over-hyped, a scare tactic, that will backfire as the "middle class" will/is, rejecting these arguments, for the most part, and like a over bearing used car salesman, folks have already made up their mind they will not buy anything from this lot.....

I believe all this action is within the norm of a uncharted democracy that will always be "changing" as folks change within its borders, and to events around the world.

If you guys just stop and think of the claims leveled against Obama, you had a lot of crazy folk saying just as stupid stuff about him, as they are about Trump.....
The only difference now, is a lot of the media has joined in that insanity.
They are forfeiting their journalistic integrity, when they let personal beliefs infringe upon their responsibilities to be unbiased.

Let the chips fall where they may, that is what makes this country great, NOT, kicking someone out of a restaurant, or refusing to bake a cake, WHICH, goes against your reasons to be in business, a real proverbial shooting yourself in the foot.

Lets get back to policies that raise all citizens to more opportunities to become what THEY want to be.

Note: Oh boy, this being retired stuff leaves me much time to teach you kiddies....hahaha.        

“…or, like me, everyone on this forum is interested in politics so we see more than the average person who is for the most part oblivious to what’s going on?…”

I think that is the case.  Perhaps because, the people here, have dirty hands, as in wrenching on a MC, or in other words, involved with something to a higher degree, than most other people, who don’t know what a ‘lug’ wrench is.

This is born out by comments, when talking to someone, they do not want to get into any ‘detail’, about a ‘political’ subject.
Yet will freely go into the most minute detail, about what shoes their favorite NFL player wears. Or the nuances of a tiny fraction of a inch, of the, ‘sweet Spot’ on a certain golf club.

Of course, when I talk about B.C., F.P.S., F.P.E, etc,  I get the same, ‘doe in the headlight’, look, as I give them, when they are talking about NFL shoes, or Golf clubs

Yet when anything, ‘political’ comes up. It is, changed, fast, by everybody.
Just like a large, multi Cultural/Religion/Sex preference/etc. group at a Thanksgiving Dinner, do NOT, talk about Politics/Religion.

I was on a flight and because of the video feed delay, I had an opportunity to watch the first 10 minutes or so of Fox News, MSNBC and CNN.

All three ran with the same top two stories in the same order. But the difference was night and day.

Scott Adams the writer of the Dilbert cartoons says the difference between how the R's and D's see the world is like the difference in watching two different movies.

Maybe the country can never come together again. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe a bad thing. I'm not sure. I don't know where this ends. The Republicans will do well in the midterms and the Democrats could unhinge even further. Or they'll admit defeat and re-tool themselves to appeal to the voters they left behind.
