So he's done a great job for the +40 years in Washington?? When will you wake up?

I doubt Biden runs next time to be honest. I would for sure vote for someone like Ted Cruz over Kamala Harris.

How does defining militias as far right make someone a hack?

Everything just seems so extreme these days, like either you have to be on one extreme side or the other, it's not a good thing imo.


Why does everything have to be moderate? Why must there be some center ground? Why do you naturally assume that the positions you call “extreme” are the wrong positions to take and must be modified?

Moderates are around. You might know them by what CNN calls them, white supremacists.

I’m waiting for the proof that it was far right extremists that stormed the capitol. How do you know it was far right and Q people that did it? We know for certain that John Sullivan was there and he supports BLM and ANTIFA . We also are hearing that the FBI had people involved inciting some of those things. Why on that day, were the 3 sets of doors in the capitol, that are magnetized, fully open? They are not able to be forced open without inside help to open. Again who are these far right extremists you speak of?

The definition of a militia is a military force that is raised from the civil population to supplement a regular army in an emergency. As your team is prone to do, you have redefined the word to describe anyone that is in opposition to government or the left because you believe it defines them unfavorably. You would never think to call ANTIFA, various eco terrorist groups, or the black panthers a militia even though they meet the criteria you have applied to “right wing” groups.

This makes you a hack.

I just think the far right and the far left in America in this day and age both seem pretty delusional. We have it pretty friggin good where we live, way better than the media or internet portrays it.

Well the left says if you aren’t aggressively against something you are supporting it. So frick anyone that isn’t directly opposed to all this progressive bullshite. They hate moderates as much as actual republicans.

How are the ‘far-right’? If such a group does exist they certainly hold no noteworthy political sway in this country.

The far-left, OTOH, occupies every corner of our government and society and has considerable sway over politics.

You’re arguing against a ‘far-right’ boogeyman that doesn’t exist in any meaningful way.

I’m an OG from the hippy dippy days of liberalism. I use to enjoy bantering with 70’s Republicans, it was more class warfare back then, the haves and have nots, union blue collar vs uppity college grads who subscribed to rugged individualism. It was fun and no one truly took any of our differences too seriously…..then shite begin to change in the late 80’s early 90’s and I ditched the Dim party for conservatism. I give thanks to my first boss after I graduated from a technical university/trade institution. My boss turned me on to self direction and personal responsibility….and RUSH! It was a new perspective and a new world after that.

To address your OP, the divide is wide between conservative Americans and the progressive loons. The indoctrinated leftists either embrace Marxism or they’re oblivious to the fact they’re contributing to the spread of an ideology that’s steadily killing America….with regards to the OP…there’s nothing we share in common with the NWO AMERICAN MARXIST.

Moderates are what this board calls RINOS. Out of Trump, Biden and Cruz, Trump is the moderate. His supporters however, are mostly far right.

I agree with you there, the far left scares me and their ideal world seems like a terrible place to me. I would never vote for Bernie, AOC, Kamala Harris ect.

Glen Clay Higgins (born August 24, 1961) is an American politician and reserve law enforcement officer from the state of Louisiana. He was one of only 21 U.S. representatives to vote against a bill honoring the Capitol police officers who were murdered by supporters of the Republican Party, presumably because he has no soul or morale compass. A Republican, he is the U.S. Representative for Louisiana's 3rd congressional district.....


This is from Wikipedia, thought it interesting...as you say

Who do you think is pulling Biden’s strings? You think it’s moderates calling the shots?

There ain’t a penny’s worth of difference between what Biden is doing and what Bernie would have done.

people who don't like woke culture or the BLM riots ect. but think also think Q and storming the capitol were bad?


Both the storming of the Capitol and BLM partially arose because of Deep State PSYOP campaigns.

The “extreme element” at play here is the lengths the Feral Government is increasingly willing to go to consolidate it’s brutal grip of power on the throat of the American people.

After the past year of government sanctioned riots, planned (lab-created?) pandemics, forced quarantines, free-market lockdowns and stolen elections, it is horrifying to contemplate what fresh hell the Deep State plans against us next.
