I see nothing in this article that mentions the repeated punches by the right in their media outlets, ie. Fox News, and Sinclair Broadcasting. These two arms of the Right constantly objectify liberals, telling their listeners that Liberals are misguided, bleeding hearts, that want to destroy the country. What does the Right expect when there is so much derisive commentary about the Left? So, who is going to call a halt to all this first? Fox News and Sinclair have been at this and continue to stir the seeds of hatred of those that are different in their ideology.

Being around Republicans, I hear this stuff alot. White entitlement is the concern. Since they "believe" unquestioningly in the system that makes them special, cognitive disonance results when facts are inserted in opposition to their "beliefs". Conservativism is fundamentally the unwillignness to change. They feel offended by facts to the point many of them beleive they should suceed from the union. The wealthy study these folks and have their number, manipulating them with their fears, affecting them to support the further enrichment of the top tiers even at their own expense. Just so they can feel entitled? They are deeply offended by any criticizim, just like their big baby Trump, they have become the party of sociopathic narcissim

Just think what their imagination will come up with. They are already blaming Obama for the asteroid.

My take: if they acted with in any way respectable, I'd respect them. They don't, so I don't.

I was watching another piece that echoed this (if not quoted it) and had the same basic thought that society shuns what is not appropriate as a way of saying that the expressed behavior is NOT appropriate: stop. Well, they are on the receiving end of this for backing up: bigotry, misogyny, and groups supporting same, the Nazis and KKK, for example. I see this as nothing more than their, flagrantly, being in the wrong and trying to deny that they are.

Note: Being conservative is supposed to mean "moving forward with careful purpose" rather than moving backwards or stalling. It has nothing to do with supporting hate and bigotry. Yet, I DO see the current populace of the Republican/Conservative party as being exactly that. The Tea Party isn't any better (theoretically, fiscal conservatives but where is there any proof of that?), nor are the religious right (same forms of hypocrisy, and I see this group as being the initial downfall of the GoP).

I feel like l am living in an alternate Universe. This is stranger than when l was dropping acid in the 70's and 80's.

Can you define what you mean by ‘The Right’?
I consider myself to be a Liberal, valuing free speech, the right for the individual to decide their own future, small government, and separation from religion and government policy. But I am often called Righ Wing.

The right IS losing the culture war because they don't care about the society they live in. For many of them it is all about "me and mine". The one thing that keeps them going is: "There is a sense on the right that is apocalyptic and fearful." Their religiosity tell them to be afraid but that they will win if they stay loyal to a philosophy that is cruel, hateful, greedy and selfish. The thing that affects us all is a shrinking resource base. In the 80's the population was 250 million and was seen as a maximum. We now have over 327 mil. and counting. It is NOT sustainable and things will get worse. A civil war could start if things don't change. Remember, conservatives and liberals did get along but desperate times are calling for a dangerous situation culture be damned.

If you're for male dominance, christian dominance, hetero dominance, 'white' dominance and Ayn Rand/libertarian/make the rich even richer then good; let's kick your ass into the dustbin of history.

They are beginning to sense they they are about to swept out of power at all levels.

I don't like any side at this point. I have always said 'the right' is the fast lane and 'the left' is the slow lane to the same destination. There was a time when 'the left' had control of the house and senate and didn't get anything done. Why is this? It isn't that they are incompetent, they are politicians just like the republicans, it seemed like they intentionally stymied their said goals. I fear both sides of the fence are just litmus tests as to how fast we can achieve a more totalitarian government. Or maybe I am just jaded.

And their flock had that mentality also which is why we are where we are today, as a country.
