Yesterday I went to see Reagan. Excellent movie. Go see it.
There is a scene in the movie after President Reagan is shot where he gets a hospital visit from Tip O'Neill. They pray together.
Even as recently as a few years ago when a Bernie Sanders supporter tried to kill Republican Congressmen and injured Steve Scalise, members of both parties condemned the act and cheered Scaise's recovery.
A few months ago, when President Trump was shot, Democrats' responses largely fell into three groups: deny that it happened, claim that Trump staged it, or wish that the shooter had better aim,
What has happened to us? How did we get from the Democrat Speaker praying with the Republican President in his hospital room to a country where people try to dismiss, diminish, or fully support the shooting of the presidential nominee of one of our major parties?
Godless and soulless.

Marxism and Communism have killed at least 100 million people and that’s a conservative estimate, so I don’t expect the current crop (aka Democrat Party) to be any different. The Party of Death.
You should know the answer to this.
“We” really haven’t, FRiend. What has happened is that the microphone has been seized by the worst of us, who have replaced discourse with hatred and gleeful hostility. The cost of this has, I am afraid, only been put off and may now be coming due.
Please tell us Obie one kanobe.

They just feel more comfortable letting their demon faces show publicly now.
And why shouldn't they?
For decades people who pointed it out were told to shut up by their own side.
So now we just shrug and say, "told ya."
Anyone tuned into the world situation and American situation should have know what was happening - for years.
Social media plays a part in this.
Many people are “fearless” when they can hide behind a posting and not actually say things to people’s faces.
Divided is all. Keep to your best self and do what is the right thing in your mind and don’t look back,-)
Tip O’Neill was born and became an adult before WWII. He was working class, Irish and educated thoroughly Catholic. Reagan’s background was roughly similar, although Reagan was from a more Evangelical Christian background.
This was before the DC deep-state and post WWII intel agencies took over Washington, and well before neo-Marxism corrupted new generations of Americans.
What happened is much of America came under the sway of deep-state control and woke neo-marxism.
Hardening our hearts as we prepare for war.
All of this was happening before social media. Marxists control our universities. And if you're in Hollywood, you're pretty much a Marxist. It's why Ronald Reagan became a Republican.
The Bible says no man is good.
Sublimation.
We feel posting is as powerful as in the streets protesting.
That is why I now DESPISE communist/dems. I don’t have one friend who is a dem/communist. Effum
Did you find yourself living in a shotgun shack, in another part of the world, and behind the wheel of a large automobile before you thought of this question?
Did you find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife before you asked yourself that?
