How many more times are we going to read about how some right wing nut, freaked out by the President's irresponsible rhetoric about some foreign invasion funded by Jews, signs off social media by saying "I'm going in" before shooting another dozen people?

So I think we all know where the "dialing it down" needs to start from.

While actual revolution is usually bad, fear of revolution and blood in the streets is good for society. US middle class was created as a result of that fear in the 20th century.
That's before we even get to vote suppression and the right of people to get rid of an usurper government.

Having a middle class in this nation is an anomaly and a result of the rest of the developed world being left in complete shambles by World War II. American Exceptionalism is basically having lots of lower to middle latitude land and two oceans that made air bombings and invasion impossible in WW II.

The people voted for Clinton by a margin of almost +3 million. They were silenced by the electoral college that voted Trump.

Overly blue CA made up that margin alone. Our presidential election process is long standing, you won at a contest that is meaningless. Focus on the contest that matters if you want to do better next time.

I think zin was thinking of Sum of All Fears.

I remember him as the Chief in LA Confidential. His daughter Kate attended Smith with an ex of mine, they had a lot of classes together.

Stop claiming Trump to be the peoples' champion. He's not. Winning the election and being in power should be enough for you rightwing nuts.

He is the champion of the people. He won what may be the biggest upset ever. And he was outspent by a huge amount, too. The normal powers that be were pushed out by the voters in our long standing democratic process. Freedom and free thinking won the day, the soft left with their anti-common sense ideals were soundly rejected. And it wasn't just the POTUS election, but most of the elections up and down the board in 2016.

The People must not realize this as his poll numbers show most do not agree with his agenda.

Please, the left has become the party of violence and hatred as the mainstream. There may be fringe groups that embarrass, both sides, you cited a few above. But, only the left has decided to make this the mainstream.

Well in the real world...

Do you just let your toilets stay clogged? What does that do to the plumbing in your house?
I can convince my toilets to unclog and work properly though - quite easily in fact. SS isn't going to budge. He's just going dig into the turds deeper.
