#470 One thing is for damned sure, and that is that you leftist aren't going to destroy your opponent's who are just as much of American's as you are, so if you hate other American's so bad then start the damned war against them already, and get it to hell out of your system once and for all.
NFBW: Let me explain why you can take your war paint off
beagle9 - The left has no need to start a war against the anti-democracy right. The right has been working its way to committing suicide since Roe vs Wade was decided in 1973. White Christian nationalists and GOP political operatives figured out a way through emotional fakery to label Democrats and liberals as baby killers. it worked by building a large voting bloc loyal to Republicans all bound together by abortion and neatly advertised as focused on the family and the Christian Coalition under a false pretense that only conservatives are pro-life.
Dobbs v Jackson put a bullet in the chamber for the out of touch with political reality on reproductive rights for women, white Christian nationalists religious right. The white self-righteous right are eager to pull the trigger and shoot the Republican Party squarely in the head. The Grand OLDE Party will be dead within a decade or two.
“The terrible irony is that this broadly empowered faction believes that because the white majority is shrinking, democracy is dying and only they can save it, albeit by snuffing it out altogether — burning the village and all that. In the mainstreamed MAGA mindset, the true America is and always has been homogenous, strictly controlled, its mores and traditions defined by those on top. That’s hardly democracy, but it is America for sure.
As concerns about the possible end of American democracy persist, let us remember: It’s always been the end.

The GOP sees multiracial democracy as tying its hands, literally. To see the hordes waving their arms at rallies, or brandishing flags and banners and weapons at the attempted insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, is to see them saying quite clearly: We will not be tied. Democracy for them is about absolute freedom of movement, making their own incursions wherever and whenever necessary, consequences be damned. In their minds, it is their movements that must determine all of ours. This, to them, is the American way.
But we — Americans of the better angels, for lack of a better phrase — know better. It’s why we can’t lean into defeat, toward foregone conclusions and gloomy assumptions about the end of our own history. We have to embrace the greatest American privilege offered to all: not unchecked power, but belief in the promise of the opposite.
It’s been said that you can’t love if you’re always bracing for impact, and the same is true of striving toward democracy — you can’t do it if you’re also waiting for a hammer to fall. Nor can we follow the MAGA/Trump warrior creed that it’s all about winning, losers go home. No: This is home for all of us, and it requires our vigorous defense, now and in the future. Because in 2023, despite what looks like evidence to the contrary, we indeed still have a future that can ― in theory ― finally break from our past.”
