Access to insurance is only good if you can afford it.

A Republican can only enjoy his dinner if he knows that somebody else is hungry.

Yes...what we need is more name calling, demonizing, and generalizing.

I don’t need a safe space, but if we’re just going to keep calling each other names and demonizing, you’re just going to get more of the same...are you going to be part of the problem, or part of the solution? Are you willing to talk to people you disagree with, or are we going to keep going with the same old yarn that there are racist redneck hicks, and there are dirty doping hippies? I’m tired of this shit from both sides...it’s world war I trench warfare where both sides are dug in, killing thousands for inches of advance. Do you want to actually talk about the issues, or just make your snide points?

Ohh, okay...just hate everyone then. K. Good luck being part of a society? Do you know how to grow your own food, make your own clothes, build your own roads, make your own sanitation system? This cutesy internet hate everyone schtick is neato, but can you actually make it work in real life? Truly get by completely on your own? Ready to? Give us the answer, if we’re all too dumb to get it...we’re waiting. The “you’re all dumb, I hate you all, I’m smarter than everyone” is fun for the internet, but it falls apart when you have to actually do it in real life.

Evryone is not either a redneck or a lazy liberal. Most people who sit on the computer all day are though. And yes, I can and do all those things.

No, so what’s the answer, though? You were going to enlighten us all...tell us how much better than us all you are.

Here’s the thing...I’m calling your shit. The game you’re playing...the smarter than everyone, everyone who disagrees with me is lesser than me game that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside...is exactly the problem that gave us Trump, or would have given us Hillary, because the hippies and the rednecks, or whatever the heck you identify as, think that people that disagree with them need to be marginalized, locked up, or killed. You think the same way, it’s clear.

And you can do all those things? Explain, within 15 minutes, how to dig your own septic system. You’re full of crap, and you’re part of the problem. You like to think that you’re above it all, and better than it all, but it’s attitudes like yours that we end up with this stuff.

If you can’t figure out how to dig a septic system than you’re a moron. Really, you can’t figure out how not to shit in your drinking water? Are you twelve? There’s a lot more complicated problems to deal with than that. We didn’t “just get Trump”. We’ve always had leaders like Trump. Those who think different are ignorant to our history. As an example, the US forced Americans to repatriate to Mexico during the Great Depression. Not immigrants, but citizens. Trump is nothing new.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Repatriation

That was carried out by the most liberal president we’ve ever had. I don’t think I’m smarter than anyone else, I just think those that buy into the left/right American paradigm are being duped. They’re all conservatives in the US.

Herbert Hoover was not Liberal at all. And he’s the guy that started it.

Also note that he was a Republican (no surprises there).

And while it continued under FDR, it was under FDR’s watch that it was ended.

It continued for just as long under FDR as it did Hoover, and It’s not like FDR repatriated anyone after he ended it. The Democrats have been no friends of immigrants over the years. Just ask all the people deported during the Obama administration. I know people personally who were deported for BS reasons under Obama. That whole deferred action program was just a scheme to locate more immigrants so they could eventually be deported. Look at all the migrants that were killed out in the AZ and TX deserts by BP under Obama if you think Democrats have been any more accepting of immigrants than Republicans.

Friday morning there was an interesting segment from a comm enter who was who was asked “when/what would cause rural poor to get pissed off on the lack of health care?” the paraphrased response, was that they were pissed at having t pay for a specialist that is 3 hours away, which might as well not exist. he went on, they assume they’ll be screwed, they just want to be screwed the least.

There have been numerous pieces in the decidedly left-leaning WaPo and NYT about rural folks who stand to lose big with Trump’s proposed budget. Many seem to be resigned to their fate while still supporting the president. There is a large disconnect between people who vote conservative yet enjoy the benefits of a more liberal government. They may finally realize that they can’t have their cake and eat it too, even though Ryan and Trump are both basically saying, “Let them eat cake.” The midterm elections are going to be very interesting.

What’s lacking here is something to lend Mr. Sky credibility in what he is putting forth. I am not dismissing him - or her - outright, just suggesting that you engage him and ask him what he is talking about and where he is coming from which, geographically, might not even be the United States. Engage the guy, but don’t get personal. Just a suggestion. Sky is pretty vocal around here. He might have something interesting to teach the rest of us. Or he might be full of crap. Let him show for himself which.

I do not think that being a Republican now means the same thing it did then. I agree with Sky that the left/right dichotomy is a farce, but I also think he’s coming in kind of hot and the rest of us need to stay relaxed.

I think you make an interesting point here. You also make a good point about the false dichotomy of left versus right in the US. What you highlight in your “It continued...” comment is the fundamentally disingenuous nature of the liberal plank of American politics, disingenuous and arrogant. This attitude and nature led to the trotting out of HRC as a candidate and thus brought us Donald Trump. At least that is where I assign the responsibility for the ascendance of the man who is now POTUS.

Left/right certainly does not offer me a place to stand.
