No, I don't think enough has been said. I think we need to move past the polemic rhetoric that has infected political discourse like a cancer. But hey, maybe I'm crazy! Maybe I'm just tired of this country being ripped apart by the left/right paradigm to the benefit of the oligarchs.

Lock me up, now! I'm certifiably crazy!

Give up the fight, let the fascists win. Um.... no. This is a war, a cold war, between the forces of oppression and those of fairness and justice. Polemics began with Trump because Republicans responded to it like meth. Now, it's our fault the discourse has coarsened? Give me a break.



Yeah, it's a war. It's a war against the system that produced a Trump presidency. Get rid of Trump, and we still have the same system. You gonna be cool with that? If we get another Democrat in office with a big smiley face and respectable personality, are you going to go back to sleep while the oligarchs stick it up your ass and continue to carve up this country? Sure you will! Because you don't have the slightest clue what I'm talking about!

They’ll be cheering the death of the republic.

To me it seems more like an idiology with the desire to take control in the guise of fairness and justice. Which I'm sure many pledging themselves to it truly believe it to be.

What is an election about if not control?

Those kids shouldn't have been wearing MAGA hats to begin with. Not that I want to censor them, but Trump's values do not align with Catholic teaching. Pope Francis said:

"In a society so often intoxicated by consumerism and hedonism, wealth and extravagance, appearances and narcissism, this Child calls us to act soberly, in other words, in a way that is simple, balanced, consistent, capable of seeing and doing what is essential. ... Amid a culture of indifference which not infrequently turns ruthless, our style of life should instead be devout, filled with empathy, compassion and mercy, drawn daily from the wellspring of prayer."

Didn't the pope have something to with the Videla regime?

Me too. He gives me hope that the Catholic Church could actually progress and become a more modern institution, if there are more priests like him in it leading the way.

I liked John Paul II, too.

He saved a few people from the Nazis.

He was a college professor as well as a priest. He taught both secular and religious subjects.

Pope Francis is a pretty darn good Pope, too.

I remember it like yesterday when Pope John Paul II visited the UK in 1982 , I was standing at the side of the road waving like a crazy as he whizzed passed in his bullet proof pope mobile
