For 60 years the Right has been politely listening, condescending and helping the Left while they never give in, never surrender. They spit out hate and vitriol in ever increasing volume.

I say hurray for polarization; pick your side and defend it. Let everyone see who the Left really is instead of letting them hide in the crowd.

In Seattle, the Democrats are friends with the criminal border crossers. They have registered tens of thousands of them as voters. Those criminal border crosser voters are their friends. The Democrats are part of the criminal class.

“It do not think it’s limited to one part of the country. For good or ill we are more split than ever. I can imagine the nation split in two as in a civil war or 2 or more nations forming with or without a war.”

We were one election from that, and then Trump won. That resets the clock a bit, but as long as most Americans still look at the Democrats as a legitimate party, committed to what this nation was founded on, we are still at risk, big risk. Right now, all it will take is Democrats winning in 2020 and 2024. If Trump can instead win in 2020, that will reset the clock quite a bit further back.

But there is very little room for error, if Hillary had won, by next year (2018), Texas (and probably some other states) would have been openly defying DC, and a civil war would have been likely. Now a tiny bit of breathing room...but the Dems mean business and we’re still damn close to slipping over.

They aren’t even fighting for anything but their hateful ideology. They can’t be reasoned with. They are like slobbering drunks who won’t listen to anyone and just want to fight. They are truly disgusting.

Yes. It’s like “Walking Dead,” except instead of being zombies, they have some kind of deep-seated Trump Derangement Syndrome. If you try to talk to them about the weather or any innocent subject, they’ll find a way to smugly sneak in some kind of anti-Trump jab - like he’s on their minds so much that their relentless hatred can’t help bubbling over.

I was born into liberty. I will die a free man, even if it means giving my life to remain free.

Fu a bunch of neo-Communists.

They are vile anti-American hate mongers allied with international despots motivated by greed for the properties of others and anger at unchangeable history.

Most all of these H-1B Asians turn into socialist as soon as they get citizenship. South West Asians HATE white people because of the legacy of British colonialism. It’s ingrained in them.

Despotism 1946 educational film (run time approx 10 minutes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w

Released after WWII, this amazing film illustrates the thesis that all communities can be ranged on a scale running from democracy to despotism. The two chief characteristics of despotism — restricted respect and concentrated power — are defined and illustrated. Don’t be surprised if today’s modern democracies don’t fare so well when measured against this film..

They may vote Democrat in the primary just because that is the only way to have an impact on the elected officials.

They may still vote Republican in the general election.

Are final election results 98.9% Democrat for all offices?

The coming earthquakes and volcano eruptions will give the Left-coasters something more urgent to worry about than the few Republicans living there.

To paraphrase Patton, I’d rather give their lives so that I can be free. They’re playing an exceedingly dangerous game.

If they are trying to deny me something or take something away from me (Keystone pipeline and gun control for example) that makes them evil. No gray area.

I have been in Seattle 20 years - all downtown Seattle.

The issue is that people from the middle of the political spectrum to the full right have been cowered in stating their opinion in gatherings. They are still here ... even though outnumbered.

I was telling my wife that 40% of the voters in WA state voted for DT. With the imbalance in population for the great Seattle area, it means that maybe 1 in 3 voted for DT. They are just not openly talking about it in social circumstances.

Registered voters at the poll or vote totals?

Multiculturalism has been pushed so much that it has weakened the bonds that hold Americans together. These people don’t even understand the American dream. They think it’s about ripping off everybody. And I doubt very much that an Indian socialist in Seattle knows much about people living outside Seattle, and practically nothing about people in Wisconsin or Kansas.

So seething with hate, the left will not be friends with Republicans. This is bad for American and civil society. They will however, be consumed by their own hate.
