When you ignore every violent protect the left has ever engaged in, I guess the landscape looks pretty one-sided. but the fact is, in 2016, a small number of house democrats sought to overturn the election, because they didn't like that they had lost. Someone told them to sit down, who was that?Just about every violent, politically-motivated riot in the last 35 years, up until January 6th, was initiated by the left. Those are facts whether you happen to like them or not.

You missed Janurary 6th, Oklahoma city bombing, charlottesville and lots of other rightwing terrorists

"It’s the story of a voluntary association of people who decided to not only tolerate petty viciousness but value it. "

It's the story of a party that grew tired of showing up with boxing gloves when the democrats were wearing brass knuckles, so we finally nominated a guy who was better at fighting dirty than the left. You're not used to Republicans fighting back (Bush, McCain, Romney all sat there smiling as the left told the world they were evil, racist, hated women, etc). You got used to Republicans who'd take the cheap shots. Well those days are gone. We went too far (in my opinion) with Trump, we need someone who will fight back but do it with civility and maturity, which is way beyond Trumps abilities. In any event, he'll be gone from the scene no later than 2024. The up-and-comers (Desantis, Cotton, Scott, Crenshaw, Noem, Haley) are nothing like Trump.
Ron DeSantis banned books, banned abortion, banned Black history month, banned saying gay, criminalized peaceful protests, punished those who dared oppose his policies from officials to Disney to the Tampa Bay Rays but DeSantis tells us he is all about one thing: Freedom.
Running Tom Cotton another Herschel Walker boy, who said gays “should have perspective. They hang you in Iran for the crime of being gay,” just blocked the PRESS Act designed to protect journalists Trump called “enemies of the people.” Conservatives fear a free press.
"Men are simple creatures. It doesn't take much to please us. The problem is women. Divorce is almost always their fault. They refuse to be satisfied by what God has given them."
The richest man in Congress, Senator Rick Scott, is trying to END Social Security and Medicare. The Senator is an entitled and DISGUSTING man who also DEFRAUDED Medicare!
Noem “Can you imagine an elected official being able to force state investment officers into putting state money into securities that conform with said official’s political persuasion? No competent investment professional would stand for it.”
and Haley; Did Donald Trump really say the people of S. C. are embarrassed by Nikki Haley?
Nikki Haley suggests American born Senator Raphael Warnock - whose father served in the Second World War - should go back to.. wherever.
It reminds me of when Nikki Haley went on a crusade against the UN peacekeeping budget + China gladly jumped in to eliminate human rights positions.


Pete, when you ignore everything unethical the left has ever done, and you ignore everything good that the right has ever done, that makes the left look a lot better than the right. But it's not a sane way to compare the 2 sides.

Look at the number or elected offices currently held by each party. America obviously isn't buying what you're selling.
Poor victim, as I said
Much of what has happened to the GOP has nothing to do with politics. It’s the story of a voluntary association of people who decided to not only tolerate petty viciousness but value it. Graciousness & kindness are seen as weakness. It’s not new or interesting. It’s just YOUR choice.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
