re: Why are both sides of the PoliBoard melting so hard right now?

There's this weird air of desperation around here, and nothing particularly earth shattering is even happening.

I don't think the "hard right" senses any "weird air of desperation", FT. As for the "other side" on this Board...hell...there aren't enough to make gravy with. This board has always been dominated by the Right.

And much of the reason for that domination is related to the Left's inability, to cogently offer oppositional dialogue which undermines Righties' arguments. Note Navy's response to Pimp's bomb. Playground mentality.

ETA...what you perceive as 'desperation'...is merely cultural/political strife in regard to the basic Principles - Constitutional Capitalism vs. Collectivist/Marxist/social justice - in regard to which underpins our form of Governance.

Never before has the populous of those who support the Marxist/anti-Constitutional version...been numerically able to challenge those Principles for dominance. Today...they are, and do. And the Right knows damn well what that means; it means a Government "boot on their neck". It means that their ability to work harder, in order to afford and pay for extraordinary affluence...will be negated by the "spread the wealth around" Ideologues who will be in control.

60 Minutes...last night....Cuba...80% of the folk down there work for the *government*...all paid the same, not much. They all get the same ration book for food. Social justice. Obama/Progressive version.

The "desperation" that you sense...is a form of acquiescence on the Right; a realization clarified by the example up there in Ferguson...that the vast majority of Black folk and a significant % of duped anti-Capitalist Whites are virtually delusional. They truly believe that the rogue/thug Brown was JUSTIFIED in his (counter-) attack on LE. Because LE has no respect for his reaction to what is an unjust societal mechanism. That's why Obama/Holder ordered the Guard to stand down...and let the heathen 'vent'. And Constitutional America....WATCHED...AND LEARNED.

So, what is left? There is your "weird air of desperation". A sad acknowledgement that talk...is hopeless; when oppositional groups are in two different realities.

Merry Christmas.
