The major difference is that now you cannot trust the media or the politicians.

There lies my issue. If there’s going to be an uprising, it’s the politicians that need to be taken out. They’re supposed to be there to represent the people. Instead, over the years, they’ve learned how to manipulate government language to financially benefit from their job. It’s all a game and they’ve mastered it all.

As for the media, they learned they can get rich by shock value so they started reporting opinions by people who claim are “experts.” When in reality, they’re an American just like you and I. But somehow, they’re given the power to create a narrative that’s divided this country and are half responsible for what’s going on today.

The US broke away from England because the monarchy became too powerful. We wanted to break free from tyranny and iron rule. Sadly, our own government is trying to turn into the same thing.

Only issue is that I don’t see how a civil war everyone keeps saying is going to happen. Who vs who? Where? How? Where does the American military fit in if it’s civilians vs civilians.

It’s 100% the media. They are pure evil and must be destroyed

the Rino's of today are the blue dog democrats of the 70' 80's

Not really. There is a class elitism about the RINOs, while the Blue Dogs generally espoused populist, working class values

After Citizens United ruling, you can't tell who is sincere. You know that by now, right?

I love the 90’s

With social media we have turned our back on the old adage of not discussing politics in polite company. There's a good reason for that proverb.

Where did I mention sincerity?

So, deep down you agree it's a purple World act. You just are too proud to admit it. It's ok, you know.

Not sure what you're getting at.

It depends on the RINO. Somebody running in MASS can afford to be more honest than Lindsay Graham, who has to at least pay lip service to conservatism.
