    Don't get me wrong, the Republican Party will still be around. They'll just continue becoming liberal. If anything, Trump is yet another last ditch effort by the Right to turn back the clock, this time with extremely blatant Fascism. But if we can hold on to Democracy until the Boomers are dead, we'll be alright.
    I basically agree although that is very different than most liberals who claim Republicans have moved far to the right saying people like Reagan or Bush would not fit into the party today. Both have become big government fiscally irresponsible parties. Even Trump's deregulation efforts which issued the fewest since 1975 still issued 72,000 pages of new regulations (it takes new regulations to undo old ones). Today I heard we repealed the rule regulating how many cherries must be contained in a cherry pie.

    They don't mention gay marriage because the SC made the decision which cannot be changed by the president or Congress.

    Republicans have not moved left on abortion and continue to make that a major issue although it was decided by the courts and cannot be changed by the legislative or executive, either.

    I think those two issues did provide some of the motivation for appointing federal judges.

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Exactly my point.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    But I know in today's post-truth era, the only person we can trust is Saint Trump.

    Bernie, Biden, and Bloomberg aren't. They're Silent Generation.

    You're right, they're old AF.

    I'm busy making sure that Silent Bernie gets plenty of votes in today's SC primary.

    What the younger generations aren't concerned with is earning their own way.
