(26,314 posts)anywhere near that tune, in fact there are often vast gulfs by definition, being critical is an automatic in the vaunted "big tent".
I tend to get confused when mutually exclusive things are presented as facts and near locks, borrowing from nationalistic and religious fervor is the vibe I get with shark minded tunnel vision that seems from perspective to have lost sight of why you got involved in the first place as well as the people, the water, the land, the air, the life on this little marble, the future.
Maybe not at all but I do know you are measuring with a ruler that becomes more twisted and distorted by the day to the point that yesterday's great evil slip slides into acceptable meaning we are in a circus of the absurd from jump. How low can you go? Are you so certain that either there is a low the TeaPubliKlans won't reach that will be unrecoverable if we are willing to be a little bit better than such a depth or that you yourself cannot be driven to being a "purist" should your ox should happen to have be gored in moving to some point on the ideological spectrum?
Don't be hasty but rather introspective and forthright. Consider the soundness of your logic is actually just being circular and self justifying.
Also remember that we are already well past the TeaPubliKlans being merely conservative, they have been actively regressive for a generation now and have been radical for a good fifteen years and getting crazier by the day. The Turd Way game of chicken has been a disastrous clusterfuck. There has been no meeting in the middle, they have gone boonkers and we are still chasing them.
It cannot end well.
Adherence to this nonsense strategy is suicidal for all involved, even those thinking they are getting over.
