Moderating MO's alt-right movement and investing more directly into STL and KC would do far more for the state economy.

Maybe we moderate the alt-left and find some common ground.

Alt-left doesn’t control a major party and hasn’t influenced state politics. Sorry if you haven’t woken up yet, but Trump Party is a Facist Party. I for one am not going to look back and think “I should’ve done more. It really was BOTH sides.”flipz wrote:Maybe we moderate the alt-left and find some common ground.

Not only is there no "Alt-Left" (whatever that means) in Missouri, quite frankly, there's really no leftist parties at all in America. We're an extremely right-wing country: Democrats would be considered center-right in most western countries.

You don't know what fascism is but yes stay on that party line. It's always THEIR fault, THEY'RE keeping us from prospering, THEY'RE deplorable, THEY'RE WIERD. Party of tolerance is a step away from saying that it would be best to not have any other political parties.
Civil unrest has been a thing since America's inception. It's kind of our thing.
As a former Republican, I don't think you know what fascism is if you don't think what Trump has done to the GOP over the last 8 years is fascist in nature.

I remember when teenage pregnancy was the worst for society. We've made tons of progress lowering teen pregnancy rates.
Maybe calling these lawsuits and this line of argument deplorable or weird is too mean. What should we call it?

Again, sorry you’re still asleep, but the current Republican Party is deplorable, weird, and it is absolutely their fault our country is being pulled to political extremes.flipz wrote:You don't know what fascism is but yes stay on that party line.

Stop with the “party of tolerance” bullsh*t. Being tolerant of others doesn’t mean I won’t call a wannabe facist a facist. If you can’t declare that Donald Trump wants to be a dictator, then you’re actively avoiding the truth.
You all are certainly proving there aren't any "alt-left people in Missouri"

lol. recognizing that MO is controlled by the far right = alt left.

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John Danforth, John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, Jim Edgar, Mike Pence and hundreds of other leading Republicans (in name only I’m sure lol) have refused to endorse Trump or even endorsed Harris.
You have to be living in an alternate reality to believe political division is being driven by an “alt-left” lol

Yeah, also a former Republican, who took a painstakingly long time to get his parents out of the Fox news alternate reality sphere - it is an alternate reality they are selling.
The KGB proved in the 60s that a constant bombardment of fear messaging / mongering would take hold in about 20 days. Would be ingrained in 60. Afterwards the recipients of this type of messaging would refute any evidence to the contrary, no matter how ironclad. This is Fox News' business model, and Donald Trump's cudgel. There is a reason why his themes - in interview, rally or campaign - are all negative and he insisted on running on the immigration / border. He needed to create the boogeyman so he can bombard people with fantastic (made up or anecdotal) and scary scenarios for talking points rather than facts. Oh, and he is the reason the border is still open, because conservative Jim Lankford guided the strongest border bill ever through the Senate, only to have Trump tell Speaker Johnson to squash it in the house. Because he wanted to run on it. Because he is a megalomaniac that can't win on merit.
While Snopes says that the aforementioned KGB claim can't be confirmed, the American Psychological Assoc. says it is an effective method of behavior change:

Ha, yeah, generally not. But I think some people need to chew on what Fox’s method of presentation actual is.
