Tru dat.
We have a lot of people in this country who are feeling powerless and afraid, and you throw social media into the mix ...

Yes it does, Sal. And don't forget conservative talk radio, with its relentlessly mind-numbing attacks on "the left." Those people are to blame for much of the fear you mention, as well as the hate and anger that continually add yet more danger to the "toxic stew."
Do you have a working knowledge of the left? I suspect not. The goals of a person like slinger for example are clear. He wants the federal govt to rule supreme. He wants innocent citizens that are causing no harm to be subject to the whims of his subjective visions. He rationalizes this with some feeeel good goal... that never actually accomplishes what it is intended to... but instead squashes free will and free determination. I can only think you either don't care... or don't understand how his ideology works. Even stalin, mao, hitler... etc... worked progressively to meet objectives. To slam authoritarianism onto the masses doesn't work. I guess you could liken their ideology to a leak... it isn't a blowout... but it also doesn't mean that a terminal problem doesn't exist. You wind up flat either way. Right here in this thread they wished for another justice to die because he doesn't tow their vision. I would recommend that you look at the early days of progressivism. Woodrow using wwi to collectivise the individualist... the jeffersonian citizen. The progressives supporting the nazis... the cloak of progressivism which still mirrors fascism. Which is basically socialism/communism with the pretense of capitalism... because afterall control is effective ownership. I can understand you wishing to get along here... but I can assure you that their friendship is highly conditioned. Ask Z... on the rare occasion he disagrees with them (climate change)... they attack.
It's really interesting how you and Markle explain how your opponents think and their goals. Obviously if you really had psychic powers you'd win the lottery.
I'm all for democracy, as opposed to you Mr. MobRule. Do I believe the federal government should do all it can to make life fairer, happier and healthier for everyone? Absolutely even for fascists like you and Markle.
I'll tel you exactly how I think and what my goals are: Just listen to any Bernie Sanders speech. You're welcome.
