For those too young to remember the silent majority of 1968 and 1972, there is always a backlash to extremism. This ad is incredible.

You may want to take that **** offline. Not to be a formal downer or anything, but has everyone considered how well their anus might hold up - its overall integrity and elasticity - during a 2-4 year stretch in Ray Brook or Sheridan?

We're not fomenting civil war here - except maybe JSP, but he's an idiot. We're talking about the expectation of it, because political disagreement is tipping in to "Bleeding Kansas" levels of calls for violence. I mean, there have been actual expressions of regret that Steve Scalise survived his injuries. How !@#$ed up is that? I'm commuting to work today armed for my own safety. This is not a normal state of affairs.

And the scourge of jaw fatigue? Just some queries. Where did the train come off the rails? And how did we get to the point of talking about civil war? We have come to a point where the political left is engaging in Brown Shirt tactics, and is being encouraged to do so by it's leaders. Former CIA heads are comparing border detention policies, nearly uniform with those of the prior administration, to death camps. Members of Congress are advocating action just short of riots and violence. There have been Republican members of the House and Senate shot and beaten for their political views as this has escalated. We are now at a point where media members are questioning whether people who support the President should be permitted to work in their chosen profession, where conservative ideas are being no-platformed both in social media, new media, and in live speaking engagements, and condemned as bigoted not on intellectual merits, but because "we said so, shut up", and where right leaning people who dare to express any ideas running counter to the left's narratives are being literally chased from businesses, sometimes assaulted, for simply existing in those spaces. What I, and others here, are trying to explain is that the veil of civility is being shredded, and political violence is being encouraged. Tom mentioned "Bleeding Kansas", and he's spot on. People need to wake up and realize what they're doing. This isn't a Hollywood movie. This **** has real world consequences. Look at historical norms of this sort of thing, and it always leads to the same place. It's not a place anyone wants to live in. Edited June 27, 2018 by TakeYouToTasker 3
Nanker Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Leftist dog whistles in the air. It's all they've got and they're shouting out like fire sirens. Maxine Waters should be censured by the House. Their demented rhetoric inspired a wack job to shoot up Republicans at a baseball practice. No real response in kind from the right. They have too much decency to put a cap in her sorry azz.

Steps to prevent a civil war logically cannot include things that happen as part of a civil war, like rounding up dissenters, purging media, and ceasing to protect the First Amendment rights of political actors you disagree with. That's how to escalate, not de-escalate. Edited June 27, 2018 by TakeYouToTasker

I believe in just law, Joe; and I believe in rights. I believe that people have the right to do things I don't like, and that it's my job as a responsible citizen to make arguments which convince others that freedom is the best course of human action and that, at a minimum, civil discourse is better than blood in the streets. I believe that most people are inclined to agree with that, given that chance; and I believe if rational actors are given a voice we can step away from the precipice. We live in dangerous times, Joe. 1
