    I've never understood exactly what the right thinks Identity Politics is

    Left-wing censorship is another right-wing myth.

    I do like to see some obvious confusion in the replies to a topic meant to cause somebody on the left to think outside the box assigned for them...... but at the same time.... I like to see somebody on the political right rethinking the why of what they were taught as well.

    My goal is get people on the left to understand people on the right a little better and at the same time get people on the right to have a deeper empathy for people who lean left..

    For example.... the idea that President Trump is out to follow in the footsteps of President Lincoln and JFK... and that he might just like the idea of adopting some of Andrew Yang's proposals will tend to annoy pretty well everybody all across the political spectrum.

    ANDREW YANG FOR PRESIDENT 2020








    This video by CIA economist Mr. Jim Rickards will help you to understand my logic. Basically..... we seem to be facing the formula for a Bear Market, another 1929. Optimism is the best antidote for Pessimism!

    I tend to pity them, but that doesn't mean I'm doing anything, or could do anything to stop them from being emotionally traumatized, I think its a sickness and those infected have been quietly and quickly weeded out from my circle and are no longer in my life, that goes for both sides.

    Yes... I'm done messing around, they pissed me off too many times with their complete disregard for life, their selectiveness over what is just and what is not, their lies, rewriting of history, labelling and blatant smearing... now it's war

    No. I believe in democracies & human rights. Both of those require respecting others in ways that allow you to work with them peacefully. Causing emotional trauma in your opponents solves nothing & fails to get anything constructive done with them. That's why cooperation is a far better approach than competition. There's far too much trauma in our politics today. We all need to work together to rid our system & ourselves of that.
