    Fall in line or else you're a fascist, dangerous and need to be dealt with. Makes a ton of sense, huh?

    Liberals new tactic for getting their way is by deeming everything "dangerous". I think they figure it gives them a legitimate excuse to try and forcefully get their way and act radically while doing so.

    More radical, dangerous liberal talk. Do you guys realize the crazy wing of the Republicans have usurped almost our entire government, rigged the whole system in their favor and everything is the radical Democrats fault, or cuck socialists, or evil commies, or them damn illegals. By the way if you dont stand attention for the flag then you hate America and our troops. Dont any of find any of that thought process alarming?

    Listen, I am not a republican. I have left and right views. You have to understand some of the thinking going on in this country is dangerous and a lot of it comes from the "progressive left". They run hollywood, the tech industry, music industry, and universities. If this was super right ideas really populating the mainstream, I would be more on top of that but that's not what's happening. As a country we are in dangerous territory and it's not because of the right or just the regular old left. It's the cultural appropriation bullshit, calling everybody racist or that we live in a fascist country. The constant over dramatic views and gender pronouns. The witch hunting culture. That is more on the side of fascism than anything.

    That whole post was sort of an overly dramatic view ...just sayin' ….seeing John, Bobby and Martin Luther King Jr killed in quick succession was a dangerous time in this country...Nixon's presidency was a dangerous time in this country...we're not anywhere near that level today..but as I've said....political correctness should be just called correctness and not be a character flaw or party affiliation

    Our whole power structure is Republican though and becoming increasingly more of the fringe kind. Gerrymandered and voter suppressed so. Our last 3 Republican presidents didn't win the popular vote but still gained power. Bush straight stole both elections. I favor a balance of power between the parties but the Democrats are being buried and demonized. I constantly hear things like liberalism is a mental disorder, and chants to lock her up.

    How important is PC bullshit really? No one has to participate in treating people fairly and with respect. It's not a law or anything. It does get some people really mad though so there's that.

    Here's the thing. I think Trump is a POS and not worthy to be president..

    THAT BEING SAID, I never trusted the media to begin with. I just never liked the guy to begin with. There's truth in some things and lies in other... we just live in a world where it's curated. Both sides are deemed "extreme" and it's not going to change anytime soon.

    There's always a reason we get divided as a country when it has happened, this time it's the freelance way of expressing your opinion and having it affect a lot of people (viral tweets, memes, etc).

    Both sides have to take blame in how divivise the country is.

    I can see parts of sides. Meaning, say for example the illegial immigration. I get illegial immigaration and the fact that if you're not a legal resident of this country, you shouldnt be here. What I DO NOT CONDONE under any justification or reason is seperating the families. There is NO excuse for that whatsoever. If they need to leave the country because of lack of paperwork, etc.. I get it. but you do not HOLD kids in camps. That's just wrong.

    People often ask me where I side: I side with humanity, however it looks to help us live better lives (both with employment and more importantly, HEALTH, be it mental, physical, emotional). Also, an all-inclusive humanity as well. So, I guess I deem myself an independent.

    While Republicans do hold the power, I see through social media and the States in general that the mindset is still very very liberal. Almost everybody hates Donald Trump it feels like. The lock her up stuff is older. The type of liberalism people are hating is this super progressive kind. Not really the left but the super left. They try and control what people say and are the thought police it feels like and I think a majority of people including me are pretty tired of it. It's like context and intent doesn't matter anymore. Can barely tell jokes these days without people getting upset or taking it way too seriously. It's the PC stuff people hate

    That's a good point. It's unfortunate the liberal media/politicians haven't stumbled upon this simple fact. They are still banging away with the boogeyman BS.

    I agree. I don't condone it either, I just that people wanna blame one guy over this. This has been going on for a while now and there are a ton of people involved. The news unfortunately is just as divisive as people these days. Fox is right, CNN is left and there are half truths being told on both platforms but it's mostly spun in a way to appeal to the party they support. I agree though, both sides are ultimately part of the issue and I wish there would be an understanding to some level but the commitment people have to these parties is insane, they just wont give the ideology up. I don't know what can bring them together. For me I just don't watch the news. I mainly use twitter for news with a mix of left and right people and if it's an issue I wanna know more about, I google until I find the truth and not from a platform I know that will be left or right. I want to get the real truth and not a spun version of it.

    Well, really, it's been this way since mass media has been ubiquitous. Hate from one side, defending from the other.

    With the advent of social media, it's made things 100000x worse. What gets us out of this and back to being a more civil society? That's the million dollar question.
