We were talking the other day, this is a “values” war, they just do not like or believe what we say or do. “Not my President” is a way of saying the rules of democracy, majority rule with protection for the vulnerable, just does not apply here because Trump is inconvenient.

There is no reasoning with this perspective, leftism is a religion. They will do ANYTHING to win, and it is all justified in the name of their god, environment, social justice, etc.

The risk is we get so annoyed we start shooting at them, and then we are no better than they. It is difficult to see how else this ends.

I once read a treatise about this subject that talked about the difference between intelligent societies and lesser societies. Lesser societies always gravitated to the Strong Man and acquiesced, while more advanced societies rejected the Strong Man by being briefly more violent than the Strong Man and returning freedom.

Oh, I don't agree with that at all. Those who initiate the use of force against others are much different than those who respond to it.
