I made this specifically to answer that question.
I would say the results are conclusive.

I dont view it as a problem. Let the Blue States wallow in their mire. Just keep it out of my state.
Who cares what Krugman think? He was a good economist - 40 years ago. The only reason he won his Nobel was so the Swedes could shoot the middle finger at America.
We are America. These Keynesians, SJWs, race-baiters and weirdos are the invaders who’ve taken up residence. They hate us, and will stop at nothing until we are destroyed.
That being said, Goodman has written a good piece. Good on him.
Newt Gingrich. As long as Republicans will willing (even eager) to roll over for Democrats, Democrats were fine with the arrangement.
Threat to democracy. There was a time when the liberal democrats endorsed traditional civil rights believing that everyone should be equal before the law. Those days are gone. There was a day when our universities were dedicated to the unencumbered search for truth, wholeheartedly defending the right of people to express views with which they disagreed. Those days are also gone.
Heres why this is dangerous. One step away from the belief that you have no right to express your ideas is the belief that you have no right to vote. One step away from the idea that you have no right to express your ideas in the polling booth is the belief that the people you vote for have no right to govern.
When lawfully elected governments are deposed in other countries it is almost always in the context of a claim that elected officials had no legitimate right to be elected in the first place.

THESE institutions are a dangerous threat to our way of life and AMERICA!!!! DEFEAT THESE EVIL DEMONIC LIBERAL COMMUNIST INSTITUTIONS by voting REPUBLICAN...GOTV!!!!
I agree that the induced tribal and entitlement mindset divides us.
But, the question is Who is responsible?
I posit it has been (under the radar) socialists/communists wooing our young, our women and our blacks to abandon God, logic and truth and grab onto emotion-driven drivel that make them feel good.
It is - everyone’s - fault.
When a petulant child acts out and the parent allows it, the parent is to blame, and the petulant child should’ve been beaten immediately to correct the behavior.
The right never said no, and the left always said yes.
Everyone.
If white privilege is such a big advantage, why did Elizabeth Warren lie about her supposed Indian heritage for employment advantage?
Oddly enough, President Trump has exposed the dark heart of the Democrat Party.
The divide is caused by those that don’t speak the true and pass it off as fact. When the media lies to tear down an opponent, that divides. The one side falsely accuses another of wrong doing, that divides. When one side threatens violence if they don’t get their way, that divides. The list goes on and on.
Dems = Barnyard Collectivists :)
Almost 1/5 of the divide are not even legal citizens.
“our divide”
There has never been a time where an absence of divide existed, nor the absences of agreement...
It’s always been a question of “on what” and “to what degree”.
Until, someone wants more than they can get. At that point they hold agreement hostage to extract a ransom. Usually, the hostage is something they would have given up anyway or had no power to deny.
This is the state of the Democratic party today. Apparently, whining is the only political capital remaining in their coffer.... An negotiations are on backorder until they are in the majority again....
Media, hands down.
Given the constant hate spewed by the Left toward White people, Straight people, Men, etc......is it any wonder why we will not go along with the Left’s obsessive drive to try to infringe on (the first step toward abolishing which is their ultimate goal) our right to keep and bear arms?
I will go along with calls to give up my guns made by people who I know hate me and wish me harm.
Who’s to blame? I’m going with the media.
And yes this country is totally divided. My sister is a Democrat, totally hates Trump. I’m the opposite. So I avoid talking politics with her. She is my sister and I love her.
