HughFreakingDillon said:politics seems to be such a crazy passion with you yanks, much like gun culture. it's ingrained in the identity of so many. and each side is pulling further away from the middle, not towards it. it will take some kind of like jesus-character to come and unite everyone.
jesus was murdered. bad example.
It is a good thing American politics is not a crazy passion for our friends in other countries.

It is a good thing American politics is not a crazy passion for our friends in other countries.Oh, this country is about half full of total idiots....not doubting that.By definition, national politicians will generally become celebrities.Treating anyone like that (a band, a singer of a band, a politician, an actor, etc) is dumb, imo.

And unfortunately we are stuck with the backwards conservatives as long as they are in the majority.
However, in a few generations they will no longer be in the majority and things will have changed for the better hopefully.

EtcThe other thing it doesn't remove is the mountains of misinformation being spoonfed and taken like communion. Trump and the GQP had a decent showing (given all the reasons to vote his ass out) because so many people (you know, the ones who accuse us of being in echo chambers) get their news from angry, biased liars. The thing the Dems have to get a handle on is the whole "socialism" narrative. Unfortunately that's really difficult to do because 1) the people that are falling for it are in echo chambers and 2) it's too nuanced for most people to consume.I do think white people being scared and angry about the prospect of not being the overwhelming majority (both in terms of status and numbers) plays a role. But his reach is beyond only whites. It's not just whites that he reaches by whining about his (and by extension, their) victimhood. And it's not just whites who buy this socialism narrative. There are definitely white racists who love Trump because they're white racists. And they tend to be the most vocal. But I think there are decent people who just don't really know anything that you don't hear on Fox News voting for him, too. And that's the scary part. How the hell do the Dems, or anyone, reach those people?1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

we have started to recover. prominent republicans are not defending trump. lindsey graham has not tweeted in 24 hours. trump is an island."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
