Reading this forum, you might get that impression. But in reality I don't think there is a lot of hate for the other side. I have many friends who are conservative republicans. I disagree with them strenuously on certain issues, but I do not hate anyone. Maybe I am in favor of universal healthcare and they are opposed. Fine; I have no desire to take up arms and kill them over it.

You're right but it doesn't matter. The 50% left is led by authoritarian ideologues and the moderate people are too cowardly to resist their degenerate ideas. Their complicity in inaction is just as bad because it enables them

That may depend on where you live. I'm in a red county in a blue state. My neighbors pretty well hate democrats and many are quite angry over the election along with other things (gun control proposals especially). To the point of trying to make sure none move in. Elsewhere in the state people have had their jobs threatened for not being far-left.

Nationally, the extremes are running the show. The moderates don't matter. The majority in our first civil war did not want it. It was the extremes on both sides that drove the country to it.

You see so many of these internet tough guys on Social Media and there either fat and out of shape or some nerd..

The tough guy fantasy is comical
The far left wants to open our borders, defund our police, export our jobs, and embrace the "freedoms" of criminals, mentally ill, and homeless/druggies while they destroy our cities. At the same time they disallow the law abiding citizens to protect themselves, AND it continues to spread like cancer. A violent push back will become a likely conclusion. A bullet is just as effective no matter if it's fired from a fat old person or a 12yo kid.

The entire gun industry is cleaned out, just think about that for a second.
CCI's parent company has over a billion $$ in ammo backorders, about an entire year of production if they stopped taking any more orders.
There are some guns still out there, but it's as empty and sold out as I have ever seen it. There is no primers to be had anywhere, empty brass is even pulling a premium if you can fid someone reloading it that actually has primers.

This country has completely gone down a Marxist toilet. It is NO GOOD anymore when the government and all big business sanctions racial hatred towards the people whose ancestors made it what it is.

Well we recently reached the wall where people refuse to get pushed any further. It's a shame that it took so long to wake up to the threat to American civilization but we're here now and the war is on (figuratively speaking of course)

You guys have been at war for 30 years at least. Newt Gingrich fired the initial shots and it's been gangbusters since. Sad and stupid thing is, you're at war with yourself because we are you just as much as you are us. We try and try to work with you, but when your stance is my way or the highway, half my fellow Americans be damned, you are working at odds with yourself.

Will the GOP ever learn?

You talk about learning and you haven't even learned that Trump is not GOP

Establishment GOP & RINOs have now completely lost control and conservative populists are majority in the party

And you speak of 30 years war, do you not recognize that the marxists have been at war with American values for 60 years now? It took the reach of social media to finally give them enough influence to affect public policy.
