I disagree that it began with Clinton. I do agree that was nonsense and probably political payback. But It began with Watergate, politicians spying on politicians that was blown up to ridiculous proportions. It is the Democrats with Watergate and their insatiable attacks on Donald Trump who have made a mockery out of Impeachment and investigations. The most recent example of a joke proceeding is the J6 movie production.
Oh bullshit.
Watergate was a shit show from the start. But it was thirty years with only average to light political nonsense opposition for the sake of opposition between.
Clinton was the start. After that it became a game of tit for tat.
The other side became the enemy.
Look. Reagan had an opposition Congress and still got tax cuts and Star Wars through.
But it was Clinton. Clinton’s impeachment was the start. It has escalated since then to litmus tests for party purity. RINO and DINO didn’t exist for Carter, Reagan, HW Bush. They exist now. Because anyone on the left who didn’t oppose Bush’s wars was a DINO. The group Move On primaries their own Vice Presidential Nominee. He was a DINO because he didn’t hate W. That was because the Republicans won the midterms.
Any electoral defeat is intolerable to both sides. The Right could never tolerate Obama. And hatred increased the idiotic lies told by both sides. The Left swore that Bush knew there were no WMD’s in Iraq. The truth was we had reason to believe there was. We were wrong. But being wrong is something that happens to everyone.
The Right furious that Bush lost and they had lost the previous midterms spent eight years swearing that Obama was creating secret FEMA camps to use for reeducation centers. It was a lie. It was absolutely bullshit. But they did it. And the left was furious.
Right wing idiot invades a pizza parlor because he believed they were keeping kids in the basement for Clinton’s sex desires. Left wing idiot opens fire at a baseball practice. Sexist idiot tried to kill Gabby Giffords.
While both sides ramp up the rhetoric neither side takes responsibility for the results.
Clinton was the start. And the end is near. Maybe we will finally meet our doom with a giant meteor. I’d prefer that. It would be quick and painless. Just a small popping of the ears and poof.
I’m not saying a civil war is coming. I’m astonished it hasn’t already happened.
It wasn’t watergate. Watergate was seen as a disaster by both sides. Watergate was used by pundits to predict Clinton resigning before the trial in the senate. I remember. I was alive and an adult.
All that matters to both sides is getting them. Destroying the enemies.
We are not a Constitutional Republic. We are a broken marriage and neither side is willing to accept half. They want to strip the other side of everything and make them pay.
