There is no more compromise in Washington…The CEC has made that a dirty word. And when compromise does by some miracle happen…The CEC calls it caving. And if it happens to be a Republican lawmaker that compromises the CEC has him primaried.
Hopefully, the GOP will go the way of the whigs after this election. They have demonstrated they have no capacity to lead. Hell, when they had the WH and both houses of Congress, it was well into their 2nd year before they finally got a major piece of legislation (the tax bill) passed. And they made that temporary.
I’d like to see an actual conservative party (well, at least fiscally conservative if nothing else) rise up to take their place. Perhaps the Libertarian Party could do that.
Yes, I do think it is more divided than ever before in my lifetime. In the late 1960s it was divided, but that was over only one issue, the Vietnam War.
Now, I get the feeling that the left is going on in their never ending move towards the left …one world socialism being the likely final goal…as if the American public never said anything with the election of 2016. And the right is ready to bring all left leaning moves not only to a hault but reversing them.
Normally, the left is used to the Democrats moving further to the left and the Republicans slowing things down a bit in an interim period. Now, people are headed off in opposite directions with different end goals that can’t reconcile with each other.
Nah. I’m as liberal as the next guy. Don’t ever hear much about that. The self-proclaimed socialists aren’t going anywhere. We’ve always have had socialists. Big deal.
