There is still a middle, they just need to coalesce around something even if it's only telling the extremists to shut up and obey the Rule of Law. Splitting the country up into little pieces would seem to give extremists control of the little pieces. Flint would have to move from Greater Idaho back into Oregon, I'm already moving to a place with a middle who knows what that turns into, Clod might have to secede from Texas, and Toad might want out of the People's Metro of Gritty. Do we really want some Eastern European President describing us, rightly, as a  Shit-hole Country?

Oh man, I can't believe she said that January 6th and 9/11 were basically the same thing and equally as bad!

"Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them where they were, and what they were doing, when our democracy came under assault," Harris said. "Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars, but a place in our collective memory: December 7th, 1941, September 11th, 2001, and January 6th, 2021."

that's the main thread I follow, I just don't know enough to contribute anything. good read tho

I'll try to at least say, "hi"

...buuuuuut... back in the land of W. T. F. F.  (go ahead, note my sources with your feelings-drenched comments, let's let the *facts* of the interviewees' responses stand for themselves.  To which I respond, what in the actual f*ck??!!

  I expect you to be that naive.

 

In a world where they constantly try to divide us into two groups of people, with every position being completely binary, it's refreshing, in a way, that tw isn't able to remember which one of the two groups I'm supposed to be in. For these few precious moments I am freed from the pressure of society's constraints.

do you remember, that day in november...

It must suck when sentenced to prison because of participation in a 'myth.'

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

using the word "Communist" is just bad branding

even if that brandin' is true?

No matter how many times reality is posted, Flint will ignore it.  What are those two groups?  Extreme left and right 'adults are little different.  Both remain a problem doing harm to this nation.'.  Patriots are moderates who first learn facts long before making a conclusion.  A fundamental difference exists between those who make informed decisions and others who make emotionally inspired accusations.

What was a greatest threat to America?  7 Dec and 11 Sept were bad but easily recoverable event.  6 January was a far more serious threat.  Part of a massive threat to destroy the institutions that easily solved and averted future 7 Decembers and 11 Septembers.

Little difference exists between left and right extremists.  Major differences exist between easily brainwashed extremists and the educated moderates.

Why do extremists not get it?  Learning facts, when one has a 30 second attention span, means above two paragraphs are too long and too complex (more than 140 characters).

January 6 is a political myth

Only when one believed Constitutional processes necessary for a functional governement are secondaary.  A hole in a Senate or 7 December did not and could not destroy Democracy.

You're using too many brain cells.  Remember, The TW only has two, and they don't speak to each other.

Or anyone else, for that matter.
