Grapplejack posted:It's less that andore people just not really subscribing to the idea of being Americans anymore. People keep splitting themselves into little groups, and become so incensed and hateful of The Dreaded Other that they stop seeing them as neighbors or even people and see them as enemies to be snuffed out. You see a lot of that in this thread lately too, it's something I've started to see on both sides of the isle and it's very worrying. See the problem with that is the Republicans target people who just want to live their lives and not be discriminated against. They are evil, actual quantifiable evil and just like evils of the past there can be no negotiation. The only solution is their utter destruction and actively preventing them from reforming.

Look everyone, the New Republic figured out what Dems need to do to win in 2018, just double double down on conservative centrism! https://newrepublic.com/article/142372/elitism-liberalisms-biggest-problem The New Republic posted:First of all, middle Americans go to church. Not temple. Church. God and Jesus Christ play important roles in their lives.

Night10194 posted:I remember right after inauguration, Foreign Policy published an article that went over the various ways Trump's term could end early. Nestled in among informative bits about how the 25th amendment, etc work? Fine, at this point we need a Atatürk to dismantle the system to save the country, the fact that Trump won just proves that it is beyond repair. I say let the Joint Cheif's take direct control, send all the politicians home, write a modern Constitution and go from there.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Are you secretly Donald trump? Are you going to go tweet that polls don't matter, and it's all fake news anyway and instead of focusing on how unpopular you are they need to focus on how powerful you are? Maybe it's just my depression creeping but it honestly feels like, and I say this with complete sincerely, nothing matters. Why are we still bothering to get up in the morning and go to work? Why am I bothering to do things I don't want to do when American society is about to end? It just feels like everyday could be the last one.

. It's a good reminder of how much of an information bubble these people are in, though. They haven't watched the Lester Holt interview (or only saw out-of-context clips), they don't trust the mainstream media, and all the info they get is from social media, Breitbart, their friends and family members, etc. They aren't bad people, and they're not trying to be dishonest. They just...really are that incredibly ignorant.

TyroneGoldstein posted:Finally, you have the supreme court and the decision of Citizens United. This allowed dark money to leverage the previous situation to the eyeballs to attain its goals. This is the key to the whole thing right here. Not necessarily Citizens United per se, although that did help, but the way money has so embedded itself in politics of the modern era that it has become literally the only thing "serious people" think make a candidate. So both sides fell in thrall to many of the same donors and therefore their goals are aligned even when they have to pretend to fight. The current DNC is run as a Washington Generals to the RNCs Harlem Globetrotters, they are meant to give the illusion of opposition but not actually affect the outcome. The problem of course now is the RNC has been supplanted by the Tea Party and they don't care about putting on a good show, they just want to run up the score.
