"It is said that the people are revolting."
"You said it! They stink on ice!"
Substitute "deplorables" for "people" and you have the attitude of not only "the resistance" in western Pennsylvania desperately trying but failing to convert Trump supporters but of Campbell Robertson in his New York Times article which chronicled the futility of their efforts. It is obvious upon reading the article that liberal political conversion therapy is just not working.
You get the sense of the futile nature of their task by reading the Thursday article title, "In Trump Country, the Resistance Meets the Steel Curtain," as well as the subtitle, "Anti-Trump forces are still hard at work in deeply conservative areas, but the heady expectations of changing minds are getting harder to sustain."

...liberal political conversion therapy is just not working.
Homo-to-heterosexual conversion therapy is around 23-30% effective.
And atheist-to-Christian conversion therapy (real evangelism), when actually tried, is also effective. But, how strong is real evangelism today?
African evangelists consider America a large mission field...
And as for Christianity in America...

gulag for you
Somebody on Fox Business channel said that the Democrats will keep the house and re-take the senate. Is that possible? That would stop a lot of Trump’s progress, and it’s a frightening thought. How can people be that dumb?
Have they heard themselves talk? They trash talk deplorables still today. How are you going to convert anyone speaking like that?
“People vote for Trump not because of his flaws, but despite of them, because he gets things done.”
It’s not getting things done that matters, it’s getting things done that WE LIKE that matters.
Obama got things done too. He got things done that WE hated.
Now the shoe is on the other foot.
I find it hard to believe they would take the Senate. Firstly there are 53 Republicans so they would need to be +4...and that doesn’t even count Doug Jones who is guaranteed to be thrown out on his azz in Alabama. Also, I think John James will have a decent shot to win in Michigan.
That's what I care about.
I think you forgot one of the most important - Judges - including the supreme court justices.
I had a lib co-worker try to "start a conversation" with me a week or so ago.
After I told her why we have a fundamental difference in philosophy on rights and how I see abortion, she called me an old, white man and walked away.
She should hope to be an old lady one day. Socialism kills people— literally & spiritually.
Good! I tend to be a worrier... in fact, I am my family’s designated worrier. Hey, somebody has to do it. ;-)
