General Discussion

I'm not insisting that they abandon their conspiracy fantasies about Democrats and liberals and secular Americans as baby-eating lizard people, or at a bare minimum as somehow less "American" than they are, but I will demand that they stop supporting politicians more than willing to maintain that delusion.

Do they want to live in a fantasy world where ivermectin cures AIDS, where Joe Biden has his finger on the button of the Big Liberal Tornado Machine, and masking during an epidemic makes kids trans? Fine, but if you think I'm going to "come together" with them as their chosen leaders gut NOAA and privatize the National Weather Service, stack NIH with anti-vaccine nutbars and go out of their way to destroy health and scientific research on everything from climate to cancer, then you've got another thing coming.

Do they want to spend their Sunday mornings crawling around on a Valvoline-slicked church basement floor with water moccasins in both hands as they beseech God to cure lower back pain and hangnails, before heading to work at the GSA on Monday morning? Fine, but now that King Turd has decreed that they're free to preach and pressure-convert their colleagues, and that churches are free to endorse political candidates (but only the right kind, hint hint hint), how long before they show up with Valvoline, water moccasins (and guns, of course) at my door or at my workplace?

Again, they want to be cruel, crazy and stupid, and I want to live in a country with a government that doesn't arm and mobilize their cruel, crazy stupidity.

"It will be incredibly difficult and require both sides to acknowledge fault – and no one is blameless here." Really? Feel free to elaborate how Democrats are at fault for their insanity and how liberals are to blame for their stupidity.

I'll wait.
