(58,785 posts)But not Luntz's and far more sinister. Not that one in five conservatives knows what fascism is beyond a scary word, much less what they themselves are capable of. They just know their leaders can't be fascists because ours are. As simple as that. Needless today, very dangerous for our republic.
As far as kids behaving stupidly, yes, but that's part of the natural order. Most people who came out acted very properly, the way we would want them to. The MSM's biggest bias is toward sensationalism, so violence is 90% of what we saw.
And as far as our own far left, like gravity those will always be with us, focused on us, attacking us, undermining what we try to achieve. We are their passion, not the right. They are the left's dysfunctional cousins. And they will always give the right plenty of ammunition to try to define the rest of the left by.
Bad, but those times when the far left join the right to march together behind a bad leader are when nations are destroyed. And that specter is why this campaign of mislabeling liberals as fascists is making me so nervous.
