This is standard fare for tribal behavior. The other tribe is inferior, not because their ideas are unworkable, but simply because they're the other tribe. Compromise is anathema, because it dilutes (if not outright repudiates) tribal identity. To suppose that the other side has something meaningful to say, is tantamount to betrayal. And the most prized attribute is loyalty to one's own tribe.

I disagree that building a Mexican border wall is anything like segregation. Segregation was meant to keep whites and minorities separate in this country. It basically said that minorities were second-class American citizens who weren't allowed access to the same facilities whites were.

The wall, on the other hand, is meant to keep people from outside of our country from illegally entering it across the southern border. People from other countries have no right to come into ours without legal permission.

He just needs to get that wall built while he's President. That will do more good for our nation than just about anything else he can do. And of course, keep the economy going strong. That's all that matters. Everything else is nonsense.
He ain't never getting that wall built. A fence maybe and the taxpayers will be paying for it, believe me.

You can't possibly be serious?
Seems that the poster isn't a fan of strong Democratic women. Go figure.

I looked through your recent posts and nearly everything you posted was just you **** talking Democrats. That's it. Essentially nothing else, and anything that technically doesn't fall under the category, is still pretty close. Why do you have nothing good to say about anyone who doesn't agree with you? Why is it that hatred is all you seem to have to offer?

Why are you here?
Isn't that what most Trumplings have to offer? Some will flat out admit they still like him because he drives liberals crazy and to hell with what he actually accomplishes.

Have you ever listened to Rush Limbaugh and the like?

Conservatives declared flat out war on 'liberals' many years ago. They would love to see us all dead in the streets.

no


it is just funny how Democrats


based on how condescending and arrogant they are acting you would think they were the winners of the last election. Not the ones that lost to a reality TV star and have the lost a record number of seats and have the lowest power since the 1920s

liberals projecting once again


the ones crying and calling for an all out war against the others are liberals. The ones who can't accept the results of an election are liberals

The poster is a perfect example of how divided we are. And it goes both ways. A review of my posts will show the same pattern. Now I am smart enough to know not to throw blanket statements about all conservatives, something the Trump clan simply has not been able to do.

I am specifically targeting The Cult and I am able to stay on point. When cornered The Cult often resorts to Hillary, the election results, the pre- elections polls (which were not that far off when you review the popular vote) or maybe Obama. This of course shows they have now intelligent response.

"the cult" is a nice Democratic talking point. It won't help your decimated Party rebuild itself though by constantly crying about Trump and his supporters

All this madness will end, but most of us wont be able to afford the health care when they're done, and be stuck with paying the penalty of having no healthcare. And back to the cold war with Russia, and the nut in N Korea.

This is America. Power swings and no party retains power for long, and that is a good thing. The Dems had the White House for 8 years and Congress for many (most?) of those years. I don't recall any claiming the GOP was decimated. We all understood the pendulum always swings the other way eventually. That's because we obviously understand the process better than you do.
