Lots of complaints about leftwing suppression of rights, but the only thing I've seen here are rightwing efforts to stifle the left.

And, "we" are no better when we want to shut down differing thoughts and opinions. I am not saying agree with them. I am not saying you should not counter them. But what some of y'all want to do is eliminate different thoughts and opinions--either directly or indirectly.
We have two authoritarian groups fighting for power in this country. It's pretty sad.
This describes well how I feel. The left vs right thing is a charade, the real battle is between authoritarianism and freedom, and I'd you think you're on the freedom side just because.you vote republican, you're fooling yourself. Of course if you're on the left it's pretty much a given that you support authoritarianism, but there's plenty of republican authoritarians too. Don't be one of them. I beg your pardon. I'm leftwing on many issues, but am about as far from authoritarian as you can imagine. You're speaking from rightwing bias. Jim

Anybody have to deal with this ? Cousin and his wife used our house as a pit stop this weekend while on a trip to Idaho , Wisconsin , Missouri , and Tennessee . Luckily I worked most of the weekend They are brain washed never trumpers , trying to get out of California for the very issues they voted for . Wherever they land they will still vote for more of the same . I almost feel sorry for them .......not ........no hope for them , and at the end of the day , family or not they are an enemy of America I got a whole family and half my cousins like that.

My mother is in a nursing home and near as I can tell they all sit around and believe everything CNN tells them This, and not just nursing home residents. Everybody in my family, extended family ect, with exception to one batch of cousins that spent time in the military. Those boys and girls are normal redblooded conservatives.

The only folks I want to suppress is those folks who hate and are out to destroy the U.S. and the Constitution it is supposed to be governed by. You can speak whatever you like but when you act, as the swamp does, to destroy the Republic you should be hung by the neck until dead.

Jim[/quote] My understanding, though, is that you consider yourself to be an independent, not necessarily a leftist/liberal/democrat. There's plenty of freedom loving independents.

Diversity is a wonderful thing and will always bring about strength, innovation, creativity, and adhesion "if" the group agrees to central cores of its beliefs. In the case of Americans, what are the key tenets around which the diverse group can rally? If you say freedom, that's not a definition that will hold up because freedom will mean all sorts of things (as we see in our culture) and because of this next part;
We currently live in a post-modern era which began especially in the 1800's, with incredible scientific and technological advances at that time, and people groups, the product of universities begun several hundred years earlier, set out as society's brightest ones.... to seek answers to EVERYTHING by scientific means.
So if science is our religion, and it most certainly is - everything is held up to science as the true "light" of measurement, how is America holding up to this type of scrutiny?
I argue she can't in her present form because of many reasons including; Science has replaced moral as the societal guide stick. Science has replaced human interaction with alternative. Science has negated, not honored, the past traditions that brought us here.
And on and on. Life is really pretty darn simple. I'm a scientist by academic training and I enjoy all the technology (especially trucks) but it will never be my religion.
Where a society seeks its answers will always determine where they find them! Where does the diverse in America seek answers? As a culture: science. There's no close second currently. But Hope remains!
Blessings! Mark

Mama's side has some wingnuts but thankfully that side prefers to scatter and act like they don't know each other. Granddad was about the only one that kept it together as he loved to make an annual road trip every summer stopping to visit along the way but he was an old school southern democrat, ie conservative southern Baptist. His grandchildren from his eldest son though are whackadoodles. That cousin of mine graduated top of his class in mathematics, so smart yet so stupid. Ain't even got common sense enough to pour pee out of a boot. Moved off to San Francisco. His sister down in Florida is much the same being some sort of bottom feeding civil rights advocate or attorney or whatever. All I can say is it's probably all for the best that that line will die out as no offspring is possible from the type of sex those two engage in. I feel sorry for my aunt and uncle though never having grandkids, though having known my aunt that too is probably for the best considering how her younguns turned out. Well now don't get two excited. Those types are now adopting and getting together to co parent /sperm donating with the opposite gender with the same perversion. There are websites dedicated to just that. So they are breeding.

I am curious of anyone who went to the polls with the "anyone but Trump mindset" are currently proud of what Sippy Cup Joe is up to.
