If we are being honest here and a now acquitted Trump decides to live up to the Hitler democrats have portrayed him to be... I would look the other way if he put people who vote democrat into death camps.

I can't think of a single lib here who wants any con to be dead for a political view...this sounds like the extremist cons on the far right who are promoting "A Second American Civil War"....really?

I guess you don't spend a whole lot of time on other media platforms. Last night after Trump's acquittal, I was told by one person that I needed to be sent to a reeducation camp. Another one called me a Putin lover and that I should be deported to Russia. A third stated that the people need to rise up and execute Trump and all his supporters. Yet folks wonder why I'm so adamant about keeping my guns. These are just three of the dozens and dozens of threats I have received over the past few years from loving, tolerant leftists. Oh, and believe me, the call for a 2nd Civil War is coming from both sides, which concerns me deeply. Though I won't condone anyone from the right calling for one, I can recall at least 6 leftist posts this week alone screaming for a Civil War.

I despise Trump but he is not the disease as most think. He's just another symptom. He is but a festering pustule on the 'taint of the disease ridden body. Our whole system is broken beyond repair. The real powers that be LOVE to see the divisiveness that has permeated this country. While we fight about Trump and Pelosi, they steal more wealth, more power and more of our freedoms. Americans have grown, fat, lazy, and stupid. We bicker and fight on the internet and it FEELS like we are doing something about "our side" when, in fact, we are doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing. Being distracted. None of this matters anymore. Whether Trump is POTUS or Hilldog, Bush, Bernie, or Obama. Different puppets...same strings. Our current system is f*cked beyond repair, in my opinion, and it all needs to burn and have a new one built upon it's ashes.

Vic, it was probably just Facebook. That seems to be the norm.

I was with you...except the fourth and last sentences. As cynical as I am, I still believe we're nowhere near as bad as that. I have some confidence that the current parties/system will swing back into something a bit more workable.

I do agree that some very powerful 'entities' absolutely love the divisiveness....not just enjoy it, but work hard to perpetuate and incite it. Just a couple nights ago....I wasn't outraged or even mad that Limbaugh was honored...but I was a bit sad and disappointed -- I think he truly was a founding father of the 'movement' to demonize anyone who opposes you....there's lots of others....but he was good not just at communicating it...but of igniting it in others.

I fully understand that it works....especially when it comes to two and four year elections with just two parties. But, think that it has to swing away from the current conditions of broad scale manipulative divisiveness. It works to harden up a segment of a base, but I don't think its sustainable if you're ever going to want/need more coalition than a fixed 40% will get you.

I don't think we are broken beyond repair...Trump is an outliar...and once he's gone, the GOP and cons will take a minute to revert to their previous doctrine...without Trump as party leader, who will keep his objectives moving? most of the Trump wannabes for governors' offices were defeated...


if Trump is not re-elected and the Dems get a majority in both the House and the Senate, a distinct possiblity (remote), the GOP may even exhume their Republican Autopsy of 2012...and will seek a more moderate tone in effort to expand their base...
