well, KB, to me, your statement presumes an organized conservative group, i see zero indication such a thing exists.KingdomBuilder wrote:Well conservatives counter that with an attitude that they have an exclusive monopoly on morality & Faith.Josh wrote:You've got to admit this is a bigger problem for liberals in our culture right now, though.

If I had to pick which concerns me most, it'd be the latter.
however, the (minority) left is highly organized, to the point they follow a single script, whether they individually agree on it or not. to me, that's dangerous, if not cult-like.
the U.S. was structured to attempt to cope with exactly this: greed, power, politics.
so, the system may not be completely broken.
possibly, what almost happened, or was about to happen, was -
greedy politicians on BOTH sides had become such (co-conspirators?) for themselves, not public servants; people/voters had to realize, there was emerging 1 establishment party, calling itself 2 parties, essentially for political theater, or window-dressing.
Trump guarantees nothing.
Voters hope there will be a move away from the 1 party/establishment.
Only time will tell.
The U.S. was never-ever meant to run on "auto pilot."
It was structured to require active oversight of public servants by the citizenry.
