Trump ran on fear, suspicion and division. When you do that, you are forced to sustain it. A Thousand Points of Light, Compassionate Conservatism, the Better Angels of our Nature, a Shning City on a Hill, Hope and Change. These are not mere slogans but aspirational politics.
Trump practices instigational politics and such politics appeals to a base hermetically sealed in an echo chamber where up is down, Black I said white, cruelty is compassion, evil is virtue and obfuscation is noble.
Division cannot be sustained by its very nature.
With respect and apologies
President Trump's America is upside down? His virtue is evil? Is he the one trying to turn our children into transgender automatons who kill themselves after realizing what horrors have been wrought on their bodies? Is he out to indoctrinate our children into believing the nuclear family is an affront to nature? Is he persecuting Christians for their beliefs? Is he trying to force Americans to violate their first amendment right to freedom of religion because some asshole's feelings got hurt? Is he pushing Islamic teachings in public schools or encouraging the suppression of free speech on campuses across the country?
The President
is an instigator. The left has dished it out and dished it out, twisted and rived the fabric of what it means to be human, male, female, a family, a husband and wife. The reality your side sells is aphotic to the bone. Black hearts for false hopes. The left has instigated pure hell on earth for decades. The left can dish out madness but they absolutely cannot figure out a cowboy troll who cracks philosophic at their expense. The politically correct never saw him coming and they'll never know what hit them.
The culture wars are wedge issues that further divide. I take umbrage with your contentions that the Left has ulterior motives when seeking the same freedoms and liberties enjoyed by other Americans. Repression of sexual identity is a destructive, unnecessarily cruel and inhuman force wielded with glee by those who cannot accept others as they are. Others who do no harm, yet are hated and discriminated for merely not conforming.
That level of shear ignorance for ignorance's sake will always continue, but it must not be codified as American justice.
Fair enough.
Reign in your radicals. Stop them from pushing their agenda on everyone else 'cause from my point of view the movements of which we speak demand everyone else be as much like them as possible. It's become policy in many, many public schools and parents the nation over are fed up. Your side champions the rights of minority groups, fine, admirable. However, when legislation of those rights becomes a crusade to change everyone else's concepts of belief and the philosophical natural of our nous, and force those beliefs on the very vulnerable minds of our youth, lookout; voters galvanized and the left as a whole is culpable.
I think you're overlooking one vital factor. AMerican citizens who have committed no crime must enjoy the same standard of civil rights as all Americans. What you worry about pushing an agenda is actually raising awareness that rights are being denied some Americans for no reason other than culturally. The same defense was used against nearly every other minority in our bittersweet history on liberty.
Please consider this. Homosexuals are among your government, military, civil servents like EMTs,,firefighters and police. Homosexuals are gun owners, Trump supporters, political Comservatives. Homosexuals are teachers, community leaders, business people, tax payers, philanthropists, clergy, your friends and your family. They are law abiding American citizen endowed with all the rights every other American celebrates.
We should no more support a wedding vendor who refuses service to Gays on religious grounds than a vendo refusing service on racial grounds. I am a Christian. Have been since I was confirmed in the Presbyterian Church back in 1968. In all those years, I have never heard my minister admonish the congregation to avoid commerce with Homosexuals due to their sexual identity. Wrapping scripture around a homophobe as means of rationalization for that homophobia Denys that very Scripture. And more so, using Scripture to deny commerce by a licensed business person must not be a protected act. Pandora's box springs easily to mind bringing more and wider definitions of religious freedom.
You cannot deny there are radicals on both sides of wedge issues. The reason they're called wedge issues is because they divide opinion among Americans. If division can be a tentpole of a political movement, I submit it must be sustained in order to work. Insisting on division is a self fulfilling proposition. And division has not served us well. A operation of the citizens no longer have any trust in institutions like the free press, the state and their fellow citizens. That needs tribalism, isolation, partisanship and gridlock in the face of real life problems.
The deeper the hole, the harder it I see to climb out.
OP, who's paying you? You don't deseve that much. You bore me.
