Return of relative Decency in US politics

[Desperado]

The Democrats will learn a hard lesson of you get what you give.
The Republicans are beginning to fight back and not just take the Democratic shit anymore.

 

[Obama2020]

Now that's interesting! A global village perceived as a threat. This idea definitely has religious foundations.
Most conservatives will seek the status quo and the preservation of its values usually defined by the christian faith. This is in fact what Iran did back in the 1970's.... ;(

A. Not true.
B. Equating US Christianity with Iranian Islamic Fascism is nothing but religious bigotry on your part.

There's a discrete fascist odor developing... Time to wake up and smell it.
In closed-door meeting, Trump warned Christian leaders of violence if GOP loses
But Trump cited this alleged accomplishment as one in a series of gains he has made for his conservative Christian supporters, as he warned, "You're one election away from losing everything that you've got," and said their opponents were "violent people" who would overturn these gains "violently."

Hellooooo.... ding ding ding.... a synaptic connection maybe ?.... sometimes it works sometimes not.

 

[pismoe]

I'd like to think that we'd be in a different place if rules of conduct were in place.... some kind of Godwin's Law for politics. Cross the line and you're out kind of thing ?
Does the following have a chance in hell in 2018 lol:

The Ten Commandments of decent Campaigning and running the office...

Now that's interesting! A global village perceived as a threat. This idea definitely has religious foundations.

Most conservatives will seek the status quo and the preservation of its values usually defined by the christian faith. This is in fact what Iran did back in the 1970's. Throw out the secular Shah of Iran (Reza Pahlavi), replace him with Ayatollah Khomeini and preserve Islamic faith (Shiite).

Seems it's not about politics from now on... it's more a deep divide on social issues.
Democrats:

• liberal values (secular)
• pro choice
• free trade
• separation of church and state

Republicans:

• conservative values (mostly christian)... intelligent design ?
• pro life
• protectionist
• church over state

Doesn't look good for decency ;(

Either you scratch out Christian from the conservative side, or you add it to both.

Because Republicans surely DO NOT have the exclusives on Christianity, they've lost that years ago.

Besides, there's just as many Christian Democrats, if not more, than Republican ones.

Boy you sure live in an alternative fantasy land we're their is Christian Democrats galore and they haven't been crying and throwing a temper tantrum everyday for almost two years.

Nope.........

The left has left the reservation.........no dealing with them anymore.

The Leftist Marxist believe hatred, lies and violence, and even coups are what are necessary to fundamentally transform America in to a Socialist Nanny State. They are committed to Globalism, Open Borders, and a Gender Confused Society. They have No Standards and No Code of Ethics to Live by and they are committed to The Destruction of Individual Liberties and The Sovereign State.

Knowing this, that there are murderers, liars, slanderers, and traitors amongst us, there can NEVER be civility again, because The Left has no limits to the depths they will sink to to obtain power.

40 years of right wing hate radio preaching that government can’t be trusted, liberals are commies out to destroy America, and the MSM is so biased that they cannot be believed has produced the idiocy which The Original Tree has bought into, hook, line and sinker.

There is no cure for stupid and the cure for this kind of extreme brainwashing is deprogramming. These idiots are so brainwashed they think truth isn’t truth.

40 years???


The fairness doctrine didn't end till 1987 ... Then the liberals lost their monopoly on the media

[jc456]

I'd say it was the assassination of JFK that changed reporting.

Not really the point, but...If that had anything to do with it, it would be the theft of the 1960 election that changed it

Conspiracy theories out the ass many ideas on what happened. Yes, it is the point

Shouldn’t you have thought of this list about ten years ago? I don’t remember you left wingers so adamant about decency when you were in charge. I do remember such gems as “I won”, “Win some elections” and “Get to theback of the car we’re driving now”.

Not much call for decency back then.

I like the false assumption that politics has been clean up until recently. It compliments the OP's inability to accept responsibility for how it presently stands.

There is nothing fascist of warning about violence, especially when we are seeing a rise in political violence, from the left, already.


That you would claim it was, just shows you to be dishonest.

I hate being given the other side of a subject and let me decide who is lying and who isn't. you just want people to think like you. we get it, you love insane asylums.

No, I want people to think for themselves. I want them to fact check, and stop blindly accepting everything they’re told because it’s what they want to hear and they’re too lazy to do the leg work necessary to find out what’s really going on.

And I want the purveyors of hate speech, like Alex Jones, to be held accountable for the damage they’ve done. I think that his actions in both the Pizzagate Conspiracy Theory and the Sandy Hoax Conspiracy theory should have consequences. People were irrevocable harmed by his lies. Actions have consequences.

Meanwhile you idiots think the election of 2016 was stolen by Russia and that #walkaway is comprised of Russian bots.

People have been irrevocably harmed because of your party’s general lunacy and blind trust in a long discredited media.

Our politics won't become decent again until our society becomes decent again.

 

[sartre play]

Just plain wrong to blame any one political party for the mess we are in, we sit in complacent silence when party of choice has the control, then shift the blame when there out. while all real power & money shifts away from the average person, yet grows & grows for the rich powerful & our political class.

Sorry guys, it might be more over the top insane than fascist in the context of the US of A.

A deeply partisan president (unifier in chief lol) warning evangelicals about violence if the Dems take over the house in November is just jaw-dropping nuts and seriously dangerous if not fatal for what's left of a democratic republic.

The guy clearly wants to trigger a civil war and bring in the troops to protect a future dictatorship. Dream on Trump lmao.

The chasm is too deep and too wide for that to ever happen. You have the commie leftists that have no "line in the sand" that they will not cross when it comes to decency because the ends justifies the means. The very elites the commies claim to be against are actually funding their "revolution". Then you have those like me that understand the nature of the cage, how this debt based fiat currency system works that wants a small government by the people that works for them instead of trying to rule over them while bestowing "privileges" to them that can be taken away at their leisure.

When the government fears the people, you have freedom and liberty, when people view their government with a jaundiced eye, you have tyranny.

The left should have thought of that when they declared “not my president” a legitimate statement for political discourse.

Or when Trump received thousands of death threats under a Twitter sanctioned hashtag.

Or when a left winger shot up the Congressional baseball practice field and the media and academics started sending Scalise death threats just a year after the fake ass Democrats in Congress called for civility.

The right could start beating every Democrat they knew to a bloody pulp today and they wouldn’t catch up to the carnage that the left has wrought upon this country just since last month by Election Day.

If you want politics to become more decent, you have to change the system of politics.

At present the system doesn't require people to care about much.

Don't forget that, in addition to all that bullshit you wrote up there, we're also going to turn your mother and sister into lesbians, and turn your son into a gay Muslim.

First thing that has to happen for decency to return is, people who spew weapons grade bullshit propaganda and historical revisionism need to be permanently marginalized.
