    You whine about Democrats for being the resistance to do the same?? Almost like it wasn't about what they were doing just who was doing it

    That’s what Pootin likes to say.
    Russia has elections regularly. But if you talk to any Russian, they’ll say they have no alternatives - their mass media just doesn’t let other candidates get much publicity.
    You let suppression of freedom of speech slide once, and you might end up with no alternatives for the rest of your lifetime. ;)
    I’m not really worried about the life inside of the United States - even if authoritarianism will get to a point of conversion of this country into an empire our leaders will still need to be fairly populist. I do feel sorry for the rest of the world though.

    Far from "whining" i'm putting the far left on notice, they want civility now? Well, too damn bad, they set the tone.

    Why would that matter?

    That's interesting.
    Abuse? It's politics. Trump should grow a pair. Snowflake.

    Name calling now? I would respond in kind but I'm on the wrong side to do that here.

    When can we expect that payback? Will it be on PPV?

    Trump is a snowflake. He's also the name caller in chief, so I have no idea why you're upset.

    I think if by some disaster Biden wins, he won't be president anyway; anymore that Jeff Dunham's "Walter" character would be if he had been elected. For all practical purposes, Biden is serving the identical role, and he is not calling the shots, nor will he be in charge.

    Because if you can't see it is already so..... How can it be explained to you?
    IF you understand, no explanation is necessary.
    IF you do not, no explanation is possible.
    All you have to do is observe with an open mind.

    Sorry, I don't do conspiracy theories. Have fun avoiding reality. Good luck.

    If you had anything, you'd show it.

    It's the perception; the picture that any rational open minded person should see. Not one thing; dozens of things all being markers of the same characteristic. Connect the dots, see the picture- just like you did as a child; not difficult.
    Allowing party pressures to determine what you say. Have people checking to see what people want to hear before you speak. Avoiding response to unscripted questions. Avoiding speaking when possible. Endorsing positions that you have repeatedly rejected before in your career. Rejecting positions you have previously endorsed in your career. Accepting or failing to speak down the kind of crap nonsense coming from AOC and the squad, because it appears to have some popular acceptance. Same behavior you could get out of a trained dog.

    If you haven't seen that, you have selective vision, and an ophthalmologist won't be able to fix it.

    Do you think there might be a problem with the idea of connecting dots? When I was young, the dots were laid out for us in specific patterns, and what we saw was what we were supposed to see. So the problem is who lays out the dots?

    When you get older- and hopefully wiser and more astute at things, you don't need things to be quite so simple. And of course in this case, Biden himself is making the dots, every time he shifts course, avoids tough questions, goes back to the basement or makes another gaffe that says he's not really thinking fluidly and fluently.

    If Trump had made even a few of the statements Biden has made that showed loss of recall, inability to identify or remember- the left would be having a field day. Biden can't remember if it's him or Harris on top of the ticket. He's been a politician for 50 years, and can't recall the most important sentence of the Declaration of Independence.

    See dots illustrated below. Find other dots. Connect dots. Look at the image they make.... Then "Uh-oh" moment arrives, and you get the picture.

    So do exactly what they did to bother you? Don't you eventually become what you dislike that way?

    Ya apparently so because having civility decorum and winning on ideas seem to have gone since Trump's started running the show. Republicans are supposed to house the moral majority and Trump is probably the most immoral president ever

    Conservatives, yes. Republicans, no.
    Trump supporters, definitely no.

    There truly is a difference.

    Well, cry me a river, the left has set the tone for 4 straight years. You, as a former Trump supporter, confound belief by jumping in bed with the far left in so short a period of time. You voted for Biden, right?
