Wow, never thought I'd say this...

46. Exactly...

Couldn't have said it better myself.
We are on two different planets, philosophically speaking.

And when you look at it from a tactical perspective, sure, both sides have their share of issues and big-tent type discrepancies that are bound to exist in any large set coalition. Each side has their share of knuckle-heads and cronies who will sell their souls.
And individuals on both sides can be hypocritical.

But when it comes to the big picture stuff, they used to say that both sides want the same things for our country - they just have a different view of how to go about getting them.

That's not even remotely true anymore. Except, the right uses false news, false narratives, and projection to mask their agenda.

They don't believe in climate change.
They don't believe in diversity and equal protection.
They don't believe government should be - in any way - responsible for the general welfare.
They don't believe in regulating the economy.
They don't believe in free speech, freedom of religion, and all those other pesky rights.

They don't even have a basic philosophical framework that they all align around.
(and no, don't say "smaller government" because that's been proven false)

But what they do have - is a group of voters that will VOTE - and vote every 2 Years.
And pull that lever for an (R) candidate regardless of how loathsome a character.

They want to feel with absolute certainty that they are RIGHT - even if being Right is different from one day to the next.

And They will follow whatever self-appointed Authority tells them what is Right!

I have seen it with my own eyes to my own family members. And sadly, I have no idea how we reverse course until this whole thing comes to its inevitable climax.
