Has anyone else suddenly seen a plethora of Black Rifle Coffee Company ads on various web sites and search engines?
I don't even remember clicking on the link, but I may have.

As a nation, we've been moving ever left for more than 40 years. Of course, Roe v Wade was a big example, but there are many and varied other conditions which show a gradual but inevitable slide to the liberal, progressive, left. NTTAWWT. I don't mind liberalism when it is presented as a main-stream philosophy among other main-stream philosophical means to manage large populations. Some of the ideals of the liberals have been good - exactly like Roe v Wade(as much as I deride the method, the means were correct).

Where I got off is when the progressives are no longer willing(or able?) to ALLOW, and I use that word correctly, alternative philosophies to exist. I am gobsmacked that liberals in position of power consider themselves, and their movement as open, inviting, and tolerant of other POV. When the opposite is exactly the face shown by nearly all liberal/progs. They become vicious, angry, confrontational, strident, and violent in the face of conservative opposition of ANY ideal.

Which strikes me as so strange that the lib/progs can't see it! 'Trump is gassing women and children at the border!!!' Yeah - it's the same thing Obama did. 'Trump is taking kids away from families and locking them up!!!' Yeah - so did the past 20 administrations. 'Trump is Putin's puppet because he talked to him during the campaign!!!' Ok, but Obama was caught on a open mic telling him he would have more freedom after the election. WTF? It pains me to defend Trump, with all his warts, but at least the guy is always, always, always pulling for the US, and not trying to take our country down a peg or two.

Naturally, there has been an uprising from lib/progs who have had enough. The outpouring of the Walkaway movement has NO counterpart with conservatives leaving in anger from their party and joining up to the opposition. Under the constant social, political, educational, and media onslaught of liberalism, it's become a literal cult. People who leave are vilified, ostracized and in this case they are divorced because someone is not liberal, or in one case liberal, but not angry/strident/outraged enough!

It's effing ridiculous. And no, there is not even a scintilla of commonality from the conservative/right side. About the worst we have is Nugent, and he's pretty strident. But on a case for case basis, the scales of extremism falls to the libs/progs by a large margin.

Sorry, but you'll not draw me into the equivalence battle. Speak to the point. I'm. making. The OP's article shows evidence of unreconcilable political animosity. Do you deny that some of the folks on this very board exhibit the same? Could you be married to a communist with a mental disorder? Then for what reason are the sentiments in the source article so shocking, other than that they do not conform with your (general "your") political views?

Fine. Advocate that the views expressed in the OP are bullshit. I get it, I barely got through the first one and rolled my eyes nearly out of my skull. But let's have the cojones to admit that the unreconcilable differences are peppered on both sides of the dividing line.

It is a battle of non-equivalence, even if you aren't interested in participating, that does not mean it isn't important. The levers of govt are controlled by the most part by conservatives. the levers of social justice are nearly completely controlled by liberals. If you refuse to see the dichotomy involved in the frustration of the lefties who are nearly powerless, and are taking out on everyone but themselves, it's ok with me. Yes, there are conservatives here who are pretty strident. But the difference is that the aren't the majority, nor do they consider extra-judicial means to subvert the republic. Look at the several threads started recently about the POA and their adamant refusal to let people have anything but liberal viewpoints. We have conservative voices being silenced on twitter, FB, and youtube constantly. No one on the right would ever consider using their power to silence opposing views. Another example is NPR. The admin is decidedly to the right, but NPR is still spewing prog puke. We also have dept heads in govt which are working against everything the voting public decided to support. "Not my president". "By any means possible". Liberals do not want, and will not allow public debate, that does not conform to liberal principles.

Mueller. What a worthless hill to make a stand on for Flake. No one in the Trump admin, or the congress, or senate has made one move against Mueller.  It's all a bunch of noise and smoke.

I actually watched the first half of the first and second shows. It was all recycled hate Trump/conservatives.  guessing the writers were given open season on all things not-progressive. Bore-fest.

Wait. We were told by our resident PhD that PhDs are smarter than most anyone and their vast intelligence applied in pretty much any other aspect of life and society.

I have one. And have suffered j'accuse here on this forum for being someone who knows too much. Best to not make a stink about letters and pigskins. I learned a TON more outside the classroom than inside.

Tell me about it.  But my wife isn't stupid.  In fact, I'd say she is borderline genius.

I love my wife.
I respect my wife.

But the only reason we haven't divorced is that I stopped saying anything to her even tangentially positive about Trump.

But come 2020 . . .

There are a lot of brilliant liberals.

Just ask them.

Sadly, many brilliant geniuses are some of the most stupid people on the planet. I used to hang out with a bunch of nuclear PhDs. some of the smartest people in the world. I'm guessing many of them were liberal. They didn't understand jack-shit about economics, business, social policy, Marxism, dependence or sovereignty, etc. But - they could design the hell out of a Tokamak reactor. (not that it ever worked as intended)
