Cool. An honest interaction without much vitriol or cryptic references.

You don't have to answer, but I have some follow-ups.

On TMF when I brought up cultural problems, and said they'd lead to hell in *every* category of life, people attacked me very personally. I told them - the punishment is gonna be bad.

OK. I've done that, too. Just as a "for example", I saw that the nomination of the Felon in 2016 was going to be bad. And I wrote about why on TMF. Unfortunately, I was correct. And his victory in November is just an add-on to my being right way back in 2016. In fact, I underestimated the badness.

Even more - the Left doesn't want to compromise - or even admit when things could've should've' been done better. (I've done that many times).

This part puzzles me. The Left compromises, and compromises, and compromises, while the intransigent Right digs their heels in and says "no" to everything. Was it Gingrich who started that? I forget now. They weren't always that way. When I was a Republican, both sides screamed at each other, but they would hammer out bipartisan agreements that neither was happy with, but both could live with. Now, they vote as a bloc on almost everything. They negotiated with Dems on the ACA, only to vote as a bloc "no" after making the Dems give up so much. Or the border bill last year...it expanded Executive power and added funding for judges and detention centers, both of which Reps wanted, but they still voted "no". No compromise for them (which the border bill mostly wasn't...it gave them lots of sticks, and didn't even give DREAMERs anything). And when the Right has control, they don't even consult (much less compromise) the Left.

So how do you figure the Left doesn't compromise? I will agree that there is a segment of Dems that are purity fanatics (e.g. when Sanders didn't win, they didn't show up for the general). But most of them are not.

You certainly can't lay the blame on the Left for what's happening now. The Dems aren't imposing tariffs in allies, threatening not to honor treaties, threatening to invade allied territory, trying to eviscerate watchdogs from CDC to FDA to consumer protection agencies. That's all the MAGA-heads.

...I will always, always reply with current events. Look around - that's me!

Current events are solely the Right. The Left has no power to speak of. All the chaos you see is from the Right, and all the pain this nation will feel is on them. Not sure how you can spin this to blame the Left. (Genuine question)
