The radicalization of the left

[Mac1958]

The radicals agree they're not radicalized.

Well, I guess that settles it, then.

Because I'm not seeing anything particularly radical...

Wow. We think that the abortion law of the last 43 years should be upheld. Yeah, what a radical concept!

Oh, no, wait. Um, something about cross dressers not being abused by homophobes!!! Yeah, that's the ticket.

Because nothing terrifies a red-blooded homophobe more than the thought they might accidently pick up a he-she in a bar.

Which illustrates what a disturbed, radical left-wing hatriot you are. Any logical, rational, unbiased person would certainly see the radicalization...

Only a radical would claim that they don't see fascism as "radical". And the left has indisputably engaged in fascism - preventing Donald Trump from holding a political rally in Chicago by resorting to violence. And then blocking traffic and damaging automobiles at a Trump rally in Arizona. And then there is the endless violent assaults on Trump supporters.

Only a radical would claim they see nothing wrong with men dressing up like women and invading the facilities of women.

Only a radical would claim they see nothing wrong with denying the science of X and Y chromosomes and instead insisting that a person's mental state dictates their gender.

Here's the thing you lying dimwit - you know you're lying. You claim the party hasn't changed at all in the past 30 years. Well 30 years ago, the left didn't write Executive Orders allowing men to use the facilities of women. And 30 years ago, the Dumbocrats were not declaring that gender was "fluid" - a state of mind to be decided on a day-by-day. Hell, 30 years ago David Duke was running for President and could hold his political rallies without violence!!!

You lie in every post and everyone is tired of it. Nobody has any desire for science fiction and that's all you spew. You don't have the decency to admit anything about the left - even the fact that they've drastically changed over recent years.

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

There was a time in this country when I could have easily worked with the left.

There was a time in this country when the GOP believed in Science...now its tied its wagon to an Orange Ignoramus of Incredible Stupidity who wants to cancel the First amendment

 

[fncceo]

We nominated a sensible mainstream politician

 

[JQPublic1]

The Right have always been traditionalists, church goers, gun toters, hard working, tax paying, military serving, and more or less "independent old fashioned Americans".

The RIGHT has been purveyors of slavery, racial hatred, bigotry, misogyny ,sexism, intolerance and the fomenters of pure evil. Some do go to church but their god is Mammon.

The Left has become intolerant, violent, drug using, communist-style but intellectually snobbish group thinking globalist whiners.

The "left" is hard to define. The title"leftist" is too easily banded about to describe anything the so-called konservatives consider perverse or anything that runs counter to their Draconian ideals. You lump 'em al together and call them "leftists" but some are more conservative than you are on certain issues.

 

[Mac1958]

On one hand, I think they know it, and are just dishonest.

On the the hand, the power of ideology is terribly strong, and it blinds people.

I don't know how to communicate with zealots, because I can never be sure which one of the above it is.

Dude, you are the only one who seem threatened by it. I really don't care if dudes are wearing dresses or ladies are having abortions. It has no effect on my life one way or the other.

Again, I supposed you think the Jews should have walked meekly into the gas chambers... Trump started the race war, he ought to have the balls to finish it.

Hey, guy, you realize the whole concept of gender specific restrooms was a relatively recent one, right. Most of history, people just used the same outhouses.

Where do you think these Trannies are peeing now?

Guy, SCIENCE is saying that Gender is fluid... the law is just trying to keep up.

30 years ago, David Duke was a clown. Now he's the mainstream of your party.

I remember 30 years ago, George H. Bush denounced Duke and his racism. LOUDLY. It was a gimme. Trump can't even meet that low standard.

Okay, here's a major clue.

When your country allows a Nazi to steal the presidency, and he starts dragging sick women out of their hospital beds to deport them...

.... that's the time you stop being civil about it.

The reality is, no great political change has ever happened by people just 'playing nice".

It's hard to picture a time where the country has gone as wrong as electing Trump, though.

I suppose you think black folks should have sat on the back of the bus until white folks decided that Jim Crow really was mean?

And you guys still can't figure out why no one wants to have a serious conversation with you.

I disagree sometimes with how the right goes about pushing it's agenda, but it does do it legally. The radical left, which is the ones in charge on the democrat side, always takes to the streets, starting fires, throwing rocks, not letting the opposition speak etc. If we don't follow the law, the country will eventually break apart. Trump stole the presidency you say. He won the election on terms both parties agreed upon. Can't you understand that? If hillary had won the electoral vote, and trump won the popular vote, can you honestly say that you and the other democrats would be protesting against her for stealing the election?

You guys have a leader who thinks Andrew Jackson's Zombie could have prevented the Civil War... You couldn't have a serious conversation if your life depended on it.

All of Trump’s Russia Ties, in 7 Charts

Only seven charts? You couldn't pad it out to at least ten charts?

I'm not sure I can take you seriously if you have fewer than ten charts.

It's not me you'll have to take seriously. The FBI, CIA, House and Senate Intelligence committees and the Press? I guess that'll be up to you.

Wall Street moved too many jobs overseas, so that didn't help get kids into the work force to be de-programmed from their leftist college education

It is not the left which has become radicalized. Republicans have become the party of racist, xenophobic and misogynistic white nationalists who are promoting white male privilege and disastrous economic policies which benefit the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.

Right wingers are openly advocating war with NK.

Dangerous, and deranged.
