Unfortunately it's not like that anymore.
Blue or Red. Pick one. There is no purple anymore.

The majority of these idiotic protestors have zero idea what they're even protesting. They're bitter that their criminal lost and will now protest anything and everything President Trump does. He could bring world peace, a thriving world economy and end would hunger and they'd still find something to complain about. Personally, and I don't think I'm alone here, but I'm just completely over them. It's gotten to the point where I see protestors and simply turn the page or change the channel, whereas I used to actually be interested in what they're protesting about. Not anymore. They can go to hell AFAIC.

People nowadays huddle with their kind, and openness to ideas from the other side has been lost. For example, as much as I despise Trump he suggested a possibly good idea to control drug prices. I don't have to like the messenger to get behind the idea. Candidates are more like a Chinese food menu to me. Both column A and B have something I'd like and things I don't.


Trump AND Sanders were both better and more honest candidates as independents. As soon as they signed onto their respective clown car teams, credibility was lost.

That's quite a statement. Do you have any data you can share to support it?

They are sheep. They will go wherever their shepherd(s) direct them to.
So much partisan brainwashing and information wars.
As I stated before, I honestly don't believe they truly know what the hell they are protesting.
You have many angry individuals being spoon fed an agenda and they blindly roll with it.

How old were you in the 60's?

92 percent of left-wing activists in Berlin, Germany, live with their parents, while one in three are unemployed, according to a report by Bild. I'm betting the "activists" here in the US are majority the same.

Do you know what the population size was for that report? You're betting that the figures are the same for something like the women's march in DC a few weeks ago? You think 92 percent of them live with their parents? Just curious.

It has nothing to do with Left and Right.
