        I must admit, the Democrat party has excelled at the long game, and there are too many Republicans who still don't see it.

            Which is why I abandoned them, and no longer even get their "send us money" mail-outs.

              Which is one of the chief factors that led to an inevitable rise of someone like Trump.

                Right, and like the cross to a vampire he cause the left to expose their insane selves and ideals.

                        Oh there's a movement alright. Rightists laid it right on top of this country.

                        We're not talking about you; we're talking about rightists. Rightists who accuse the left of hating free speech, and then cheer on a so-called president who uses violent force to put down peaceful protests.

                        For all intents and purposes, y'all might as well be Russian.

                          If there be any country or company that is actively using slaves, like China, then offer evidence and I will consider it.



                          Since you seem to have knowledge of it, then tell me. And if they make shoes, I shall not purchase them for my feet.
                          I do not think diplomats make shoes!
