Heh, so the right started moving further right just around the time Obama ran then it slowly got worse over the years by the time he finished his 2nd term just before Trump ran. After Trump it moved even further to the right so now we're at the point where civil war is being talked about to succession.

The further left people go, the further right people appear...

[–] Rorikon (16441) 3 years ago

Dunno about that. The right seem to have grown sour and full of hate while the left has grown more schizophrenic and degenerate. Wasn't like this before until the screw up of Bush W leading to the running of Obama where things got more bizarre along with the rise of fake news. Not sure if it was racism related but it sparked something to the point that they'd vote Trump in with his non-respectful attitude.

The left have gone so far left that the right quite rightly are reacting and it appears to the left it's sourness and hate, but it's anger. The left have gone so far off the deep end they have created a no mans land in the middle. There is no chance of any reunification (at the public level anyway). We all know the uniparty exists and the divide amongst the population suits them nicely.

I agree but remember the wise words of Yoda my friend (https://youtu.be/kFnFr-DOPf8). I think the right are well past the anger phase and into the hate after Jan 6th failure. I also agree there is no more re-unification possible once they get rid of what's left with the RINO's and fill them with Trumpers.

Let's play a game shall we? Come 2024, we shall revisit this thread and we'll see whose right in the end. :)

We can only hope all the RINOs get kicked out. It would be fascinating to watch a third party enter the system after decades of a two party system routinely fucking over the average American to put more $$$ in the pockets of the elite. Even if the third party is wearing the skin of the Republicans.

We all know how 2024 will go. Democrats will start paying off Antifa and BLM to start causing trouble and chaos again. Oh, your neighbourhood is on fire? Guess it's election time. They'll ask black people for their support again and once again they'll give it unconditionally even after getting screwed over time and time again. I wonder if BLM ever got that meeting with the Whitehouse lol. By 2024, the US will some kind of police state. Stormtroopers wandering around like Nazis. I hope it won't be but that's the way the Democrats are heading.

The right hardly moved. The left did. This is well documented.

[–] Rorikon (16441) 3 years ago

You got any sources for this?

I guess that would be the case for cultural and social program issues.

[–] OvertonPendulum (4026) 3 years ago

Yes I have and will post it as soon as I find it. In the mean time I suggest you merely look at an issue like homosexuality. Today's conservative attitudes are literally equal to liberal attitudes were 10 years ago.

And let's not talk about searching for "White supremacy" under every rock by all institutions of the country.

[–] Rorikon (16441) 3 years ago

Heh, no argument there. Left and right have no problems with LGB, that is until transgender gets introduced into the issue mix then the attitudes diverge.
