Yes - it's absolute folly to ignore them. Democrats have paid for that - and it looks like they're willing to pay again - at the polls. The thing is there's a middle ground between ignoring them, and catering to their delusions. Either party could attempt to assuage the fears stoked up by the opposition. Either party could seek real consensus before forcing through major legislation. But neither party does. They don't need to because voters are brainwashed by "strategic voting" a.k.a "lesser-of-two-evils". That's a game we'll never win.Agreed.
Still, completely ignoring the concerns is a recipe for full-blown armed rebellion, and cocksucking shitheads like Mac appear to be fanning the flames.
