I think you and the other posters who disagree are actually both correct. But what is the solution? Yes, the divide-and-conquer is in full swing, the left doesn't seem to be able to be reasoned with. How many times have right wing peaceful marches come under attack by rabid antifa types? I believe that we, overall, are the more peaceful patient ones. So, how to bridge the gap with the left? I honestly don't know. It seems like we're hurdling towards an inevitable bad situation of which there really won't be any winners. Other than the puppet masters.
Definitely a starting point. Some might say that these lefties are unreachable. Some may be. But not everyone. And I have seen several folks say that they were former lefties so it would be valuable to know what changed their outlook. Without having specifics in mind, iirc it seems like some event occurred that affected them enough to get them reevaluating things. I've always been more on the conservative side of things based on my upbringing, so I can't contribute from that aspect.
On a side note. Just bitching in general, but I dislike the whole upvote/downvote thing. I get it's relevance from a technology aspect. But, obvious trolls and spammers should garner the downvotes. Why downvote a differing opinion or idea? Having an effective counter argument would be a hell of a lot better than just piling on to drive an unpopular, but valid point. Ah well. Cheers.
Ah yes, you want to hug snakes, but I'm the one who's brainwashed.
They aren't brainwashed, they're evil. This isn't a misunderstanding, disagreement or difference of opinion.
They are evil and must be destroyed. Root and branch, all of them.
If we fail to fight and defeat evil, who is the real winner?
You are not part of we.

We win.. We have approx 85% of the guns.
