How values on the left and right have change in 40 years and not for the better.

I don’t understand the Trump obsession. Most of us hate the guy and are tired of hearing about him but you can’t seem to let him go. You couldn’t type more than 3 sentences before bringing him up in a thread that has nothing to do with him.

1) No Trump obsession, just a recognition that Trump caused serious damage to our country. YOU should never forget that, and we can not let another person like Trump ever to be in the White House again (Trump won't be, so no worries there).

2) I was responding to a guy who brought up the Republican Party. Sorry, brother, but when commenting on The Republican Party TODAY, Donald Trump is pertinent, so it DID have to do with him.

I guess if you like a huge growing national debt, Vladimir Putin, white nationalists and you don't care about a functioning democracy or the rule of law or relations with other democracies, he could be your guy.

Your comment just further supported Flagpole's position of bringing up Trump as pertinent. Trump has been and continues to be (though he is quite diminished) an
existential threat to this country.

Yep. As long as there is a core group of cult members left, Trump remains a threat to our country. I agree with you that Trump's influence has been greatly diminished. He does still remain a threat though. He needs to be held accountable for his crimes if for no other reason that another dictator wannabe doesn't attempt the same sh!t.

What is totally surreal is how the parties flipped positions. The Karl Rove Republican Party has been replaced with a party of the working class. The Democrats favor the Davos elite, involve us in a preventable wars, and pass spending bills that cripple the economy in order to enrich their own. Like Karl Rove, the Democrats coordinate with the corrupt intelligence agencies and manipulate the media with flat-out provable lies.

Republicans act like passive victims. There was a time when Republican men risked their lives to defend our values. Now they won’t even speak up because they are afraid they will get called a name. At the end of the day, neither party has our backs.

Barack Obama ripped this country apart by pitting racial groups against one another for personal political gain. This country has not seen that level of racism in the White House in at least 40 years.

Unfortunately, progressives/socialists/critical-theorists/many-Democrats don't mind tearing everything down because in their mind it is the only way to usher in their utopia (which will be a absolute sh%t show). Sure, spend as much as you want - when the bill comes due they think we'll just be able to tax the rich.

Increased national debt is the noose of economic freedom because eventually those with-assets will be asked (forced) to pay for the debt with all their wealth thus creating a flat, socialist society. Those that won't pay and resist will be ushered into the chambers.

Socialism is the only path that leads to fascism.

While your intended comment has no relevance to anything I said, the proper quote is, "Denial is not JUST a river in Egypt."

Reid's made more sense - denial is NOT a river in Egypt. You're probably thinking of the Nile.
