Charleston Virginia 2017 was a modern day klan rally. Carrrying their tiki torches and marching to chants of hate. the only thing they didn't do was a lynching but the intent was there.
I don't know what it takes for people to open their eyes, but the klan is energized and now...armed to the teeth.

It is unfortunate how polarized this nation has become. I say this, ironically, as an unabashed political liberal. But I think my staunch liberalism is in part a natural reaction to seeing how increasingly hateful, conniving, dangerous and Machiavellian the Republican Party has become.
I see many problems with the Democratic party, but it is hard not to throw my voting support solidly behind them when faced with the sheer frightening reality of the Republican Party currently. Like it or not, the Democratic. Party is the only viable counter-balance to (at the moment) to radical right-wingers enacting their hateful, inhuman policies. Libertarians, of which I suspect many on this forum count themselves a part, need to keep battling to gain influence in the party, but as of now, they have very little real influence.

Until we somehow can fundamentally change the political two-part system we are saddled with--and I Don't know how that is possible--ours will continue to be a winner-take-all system that only allows room for two viable parties. Without some parliamentarian system that gives some proportional representative voice to smaller parties, we will continue to suffer the impossible fantasy that only two parties can really represent the concerns of the whole population. ?

They are against the separation of church and state. They want the state and the church beone.

Which fucking country are you talking about. It ain't this one.
