While Savage has some good things to say, he lives in a very dark place. I wouldn't count on events turning out as badly as Savage predicts.

I'm inclined to agree about the 'dark place' as he spent so many years in San Francisco - 'Gomorrah-by-the-Bay'.
Having had to deal with SF politics on and off over the years I can understand his point of view. I can also understand yours as most places in America are not near as twisted as San Francisco...yet.
But it is good to understand that the extremes of San Francisco culture have become the enforced (I did not say 'accepted') norms for the rest of the country usually 15-20 years after they surface in San Francisco.
Remember Anita Bryant? All the wild things she said in the 1970's have *all* come to pass. She was the nutbag extremist of her time and I say now that she was the only voice of reason in the nation at that time.
If more people had listened to her back then the country would still be a safe place for six-year old boys.
While you don't count on what Savage predicts as coming true, bear in mind that it is also your obligation to work to prevent his prognostications from coming true. Just saying, 'Oh, that'll never happen.' is like sitting in the First Class lounge and saying the Titanic is unsinkable and there's no need to avoid icebergs.
