    If there is a Civil war, it won't last long. We will shoot you and then pray for you to wise up.

    Are you saying at least some Trump supporters are stupid?

    Americans don't want a civil war. Start one and they'll polish you off.

    The left is sure as hell pushing for it. Maybe you and others with clear heads should have a talk with antifa and black lives matter before someone goes too far.

    College degree means nothing if you're dumber than an empty box of Raisin Bran. There are too many educated dummies in positions of authority that can barely function to impress me with their so called college degrees.

    You're totally misreading the situation. The only people talking about a civil war are a bunch of old white guys running around with AR-15s.
    If those dimbulbs go too far, the police will step on them. No need for you to break out the camo.

    Of course .. if someone doesn't approve of The Messiah, they must be fundamentally flawed.

    Want to bet?

    I've seen smart and open-minded kids enter university, and a year later they're close-minded ideologues who've lost their critical thinking faculties.

    An example would be people supporting government abuse of power to force me to buy a product like Obamacare only to complain when another politician wants to declare a national emergency for wall money. What you are willing to tolerate, you also condone. Do you need more examples?

    We get the Govt we vote for. That's how it works in a Democracy. You need to take up your complaints with the ballot box .. the only place it'll do any good.

    Meantime, I'm FOR 'big' Govt to the extent that I'm for free education, free healthcare, and limited welfare (because those three combined eliminate discrimination, and therefore excuses). I'm not at ALL in favour of Govt getting involved in social engineering. Govt is a pragmatic institution - employed to keep the trains running, as it were. It should not be the watchdog of our psyches.

    Very few and the cause is likely friends, not the education.

    The topic is division. You have some good ideas, but how are you going to get educators and medical professionals to work for no pay?

    The radical left uses the barrel of a gun since private ownership of guns would be a crime.

    No, you're not getting it. The police are the sons and daughters of those old white guys, you racist ageist punk.

    Depends on the degree. Some are useful, some aren't.

    We are a divided Nation because of the Liberal media, the Far Left Democrats, Obama( who did nothing to make race relations better) while we hoped he would. And the School, mainly College's and Universities who have stopped teaching in an unbiased manner.

    I live in a real diverse community and we all get along just fine. We have neighbors of every race. No problems.
    Just be nice to those you meet. You might learn something from them and vice versa.

    And that people only see the other party as the problem. You are half right!

    When you get spit on or assaulted for wearing a MAGA hat there's something very wrong.

    We all know the penalty for not buying insurance is really a tax. So, why the tax? Obamacare added tens of millions Americans to the healthcare system, Many of those added have low incomes and get subsidized premiums. Others were previously denied coverage. In short, a lot of older, poor folks were always going to run up the total bill. Someone has to pay.
    Exactly why Trump has to go. He's refusing to cooperate with Congressional oversight in what is nothing less than a bold attack on Constitution itself.

    Why should I pay a higher premium in order to subsidize someone else?

    This is about the 3rd time you have posted something I agree with. I guess all of us don't buy into the two party dichotomy.

    The easy and obvious answer to this question is that liberals are mentally incapable of handling anyone who thinks differently than they do. Call it a mental disorder if you like. People who don't goose step along with them make their wittle heads explode.
