    So.........you don't think the advent of semi-automatic weapons allowing a single person to kill multiple victims in a short period of time is new?

    Unlike most professional politicians most ordinary American Democrats and Republicans are fine people. This is the RP strategy for the next election:

    'The DP is too repulsive to vote for! Vote RP we are less repulsive! ;-)

    That actually works for them sometimes.

    Yes, even Left has it's rational wing, but I would not label them RW. ;-)

    The informed Left, the ones who have actually read Marx, tend to be far more inclined toward rational analysis than partisan Democrats - or Republicans for than matter.

    You were beaming over “leftists” appearing on right wing media, playing the game right wing media plays. They are paid. It is theater.

    Kind of like how they used Gatling guns on tribes of Indians who wanted peace, who had gathered because the Governor of Colorado had promised them protection from the army Or when the Colorado National Guard shot indiscriminately into a camp of more than a thousand, of striking workers and their families, killing many.

    You're reading comprehension is sorely lacking if you read what I wrote and thought I was "beaming." It simply goes to my thesis that politics may be evolving to normal people vs the woke.

    Same as always the last 40 years. Huge giveaway to the rich tax rates and the screwjob for everyone else.... Pure obstruction of reform and the brainwash for the dupes.... What is disgrace

    You can't characterize the Republican party as a singular entity, just like you can't with the Democrats. There are only two main political parties in this country which means each is going to end up with members who really don't have anywhere else to go but don't fit the mold of what a member of that party may be according to popular depiction(those depictions tend to be driven by the opposing party in the first place). The lesser known third parties unfortunately tend to cater towards specific demographics.

    There are plenty of Republicans that aren't Trump Republicans. There are plenty of Democrats who aren't progressive nutjobs. You might as well try to characterize people who drink Coke versus Pepsi.

    The GOP Stands for Freedom and Liberty, and the cure for a Federal Government that is not listening to the People, are the State Legislature acting in concert. The State Legislatures formed the Federal Government and they retain the power to correct the Federal Government when it needs correcting.

    THANK YOU, IDAHO LEGISLATURE!!: Idaho House Rejects Higher Ed Budget Due to Concerns Over Wokeism.

    Just Say NO! “Social justice” agenda and the teaching of critical race theory. Thumbs down vote, 57-13.

    Rep. Ron Nate stated:
    The Colleges and Universities may either shape up, or make do with less.

    These responsible State Legislators refuse to "stand by while schools use public money to teach students that they are racists, that their country is evil, and other noxious tenets of woke identity politics. States shouldn’t subsidize efforts to create self-hating students and to erode belief in America."

    Three Cheers for Idaho! Small wonder Eastern Washington and Oregon and Northern California want to join an expanded State of Greater Idaho.

    It has been reported that Mike Pence is starting his own Organization Platform and basing it basically on the Trump platform. Leftists.....I would n't get too excited about America First going away.

    Few things are deadlier than a powerful fool, claiming good intentions, overriding your choices "for your own 'good'"

    UNEXPECTEDLY: As police forces are defunded, U.S. cities are growing deadlier.

    After years of increasing safety:

    Not where the increase is coming from​
