Yep.
The old school democrats are aging out and they are being replaced with radicals brainwashed from an early age.
These radicals are hatful and violent.
Moreso than the millions of righty radicals that gobble up Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens' hateful loonery, or nah?
There is no way you can compare the behavior of the left vs. the right.
Civ, I would consider you to be one of the old school. We don't agree on much but we can have a conversation. You think I could ever talk with Smapty? He's probably 20 years younger than you and his type is replacing your type.
Sure there is. Look no further than the preponderance of political violence perpetrated by the extreme right in recent decades, or January 6, or the totally boorish and often illegal behavior of our actual current Republican leaders to see the right has more than their share of bad behavior. A clear-eyed assessment would recognize all that, and also that there has been an uptick in violence from the far left in the last few years.
You're just more focused on the left's poor behavior than the right's, and all of our news algorithms when we're scrolling confirm our prior biases unless we really seek out more centrist or contrarian viewpoints.
Good morning!
Respectfully, I stopped reading at January 6…I understand that's your birthday, Christmas and 4th of July but I'm tired of hearing. It's like the boy who cried wolf. J6 is no different from the countless "mostly peaceful" protests we have seen from the left over the last TEN years.
Just like the race bait, find something else to celebrate because it doesn't work anymore.
I'm enjoying the pleasantries this morning, we need more of that in the Cooler.
I hear you regarding January 6, but when it happens, encouraged by the President, and then the President pardons all those responsible for the biggest and most violent demonstration against our government in 150 years , people aren't going to stop talking about it.
And it's unique because it was explicitly encouraged by the President, not for any broader cause, but because he was butthurt he lost the election, and because he was looking for ways to violently disrupt the constitutional transfer of power.
That was unprecedented. Comparing it to George Floyd or whatever is laughable given the little-d-democratic implications.
That hasn't happened in 250 years. It's now in the history books and very historically relevant. It's not going away.
Good morning!
You are cherry picking. How about this part of the speech?
"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
Like i said, I'm tired of hearing the democrats cry wolf again and again and again in an attempt to GET TRUMP.
Race bait, J6, threat to our democracy, oligarchs, RUSSIA-RUSSIA-RUSSIA….goes in one ear and out the other.
Tell me something about YOUR party because I'm tired of hearing Trump bad. Trump real bad. Trump real real bad.
Morning! Normally love a lazy Sunday morning, but having a hard time getting out of my daytight compartment after that cluster in the Lenny last night.
I hear you that you're tired of it, but normally to flush something and move on you have to reckon with and correct it first. I don't think all the J6 protesters getting pardoned exactly fits the bill.
I'm not quite sure what your expectation is here.
Even if you don't view it as being as dangerous as many moderates and lefties do, I'm sure you recognize at a minimum that Trump's behavior and observance of norms relating to enrichment while in office, constitutionality of actions, decorum, etc. is a very significant departure from anything we've seen in the office of the American president.
If one of my kids had a D or an F in a C-wall class and their efforts and results continued to be substandard, them explaining that they were "tired of hearing about" their performance would be laughable.
That's this administration's situation. It just isn't realistic to hope that you stop hearing about objective deficiencies in their behavior and performance and conformity to the responsibilities and gravity of their positions.
