I had an interesting conversation with my hairdresser today. (house seat, fast food, Congress)

Sorry liberal dribble.... If a minimum wage worker is on the bottom rung of the labor ladder, even when prices go up (which we all know they will), and even if they get a raise they're still on the bottom rung of the ladder. The only way to climb up is to raise your worth in the labor pool. I can't believe that so many on the left harp for higher wages yet can't make the distinction that the only one who will truly benefit from it are not the people but the corporations who they seek to hurt in the first place. Do you think McDonald's is going to get hurt if we raise the minimum wage? I'd bet my bottom dollar that McDonald's is salivating at the idea. The avg. franchise could go from a 1M dollar a year gross sales to 2M gross annual, make more profit and it will be the left's fault.
Do you deny they're lefties? See any 2nd Amendment proponents acting like that, ever?
The left needs to rein in their demonstrated hatred for others. Period.
I don't deny anything at all. They're criminals first and lefties, demopoops or progressives lastly. It doesn't matter what you call them now does it?
All this stupid name calling stuff serving only to divide you further.
When did you not getting along with your neighbour over his political beliefs become the norm in the U.S. ?
Surely you'd rather share a BBQ Sunday afternoon than sit there glaring at each other over a darn fence .........or...........is your name Hatfield or McCoy?
Since when could a hypothetical entity such as "the left" have the power to effect or control criminal behaviour.
Who knew all you needed was a sign on your forehead identifying you with a big "L" or "R" to make the job of policing America as easy-peasy as that?
It is a sad fact that illiterate men and women are currently living outside the boundaries of civilized society.
Both far left and far right "protesters" seem to be pretty extreme. They have one thing in common, uneducated and irrational.
"The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of changing their views to fit the facts, they try to change the facts to fit their views.
You need to rethink that. It was liberals who violently protested both before and after the election.
Those violent protests at Trump rallies only served to boost Trump's support. The whole country, even the whole world, saw the infantile temper tantrums for exactly what they were. Note that conservatives didn't respond in kind.
See what I mean?

Sure it doesn't.

I find that progressives cannot accept anyone that disagrees with them They want to destroy anyone who does not buy into liberal/socialist/progressive plan they have to run peoples lives for them.
No, you just bytched and moaned for the last eight years.

The most violence being committed is by liberals against conservatives, and I haven't heard our president speak out against that. Quite the opposite. This is on him, not Trump, who hasn't served a day in office.
Oh, and I don't believe conservatives are the ones writing the racist graffiti. Too many hoax hate crimes for me to believe it without video confirmation and/or confessions.
No one is disagreeing that it's lefties who are out of control and violently protesting. Property damage into the millions$, injuries, a shooting. There wasn't anything like that when Obama was elected.
I went back and read your link. It was a pretty balanced outline of what is happening around the country (though still not sure I believe all the graffiti is as claimed). People in this country are downright crazy now. I did notice that one of the few instances where people defended someone against this kind of hate was at a religious university in Texas. I'm not surprised. People here stand up for others for the most part. It makes me sick watching people walking by and doing nothing when someone is getting harassed. I always like to think that wouldn't happen here, and I'm glad to see I'm right.
I saw an article about a woman getting beaten by her boyfriend while people did nothing, and recalled the time I was sitting on the patio at a bar in Houston when this guy slapped his girlfriend in the parking lot. You should have seen all the guys jumping that fence to defend this woman.
We're on opposite sides; she voted for Trump and I voted for Hillary. However, we managed to have a very nice, respectful discussion about our opposing viewpoints while knowing that we'd never change each others' minds.
I know some liberal people who have deleted friends on Facebook, etc., and I understand it - especially if they're feeling threatened by being in a minority group, but I also wonder how this nation will ever come together and resolve its deep divisions and differences if we can't even talk to each other. Seeing everyone who thinks differently from you as The Enemy is not helpful. It just alienates the other side, and then what? Is the solution that we only talk to people who think like we do and agree with us? That just puts us into a bubble of perceived safety and love, which doesn't help anyone cope with reality.
My wife pretty much deleted all of her friends on Facebook that were intolerant of Trump, which was a large portion of her friends. In my opinion, virtually all of the intolerance is on the Left. You demean people that don't agree with you and call them racists and every vile term such as a basket of irradeemable deplorables.
I've said for some time that country needs to be divided up and separated, we don't like each other but it's just a really hard thing to do logistically. I personally would be fine if California rejoined Mexico.
My daughter is a self employed hairdresser who supported Obama but when Obamacare was implemented and it was so terrible for her and her husband, she listened to and jumped on the Trump Train long before I ever did...I finally came around right before the election.
