Do you think that it is logic or philosophical consistency that would lead somebody to embrace leftism in the first place?

The First Lady is fair game (remember the Michelle insults comparing her to an ape, criticisms of Nancy Hillary, Barbara & Laura). Barron is off limits until Trump brings him into the fray. Hopefully never.

"I didn't approve of the public BS people flung at [Michelle Obama]."
"the First Lady and even Barron are fair game."
These are the same phenomenon. They nasty children stand out more than the silent majority that doesn't care about politicans' efforts to make one another look bad.

I think it’s easy to explain. The left wants to get rid of trump any way they can. Insult him, insult his family, and insult his friends so that maybe he say it’s not worth it and quit. Then isolate him by attacking anyone who associates with him so that they stop associating with him, and serve as a warning to new people who might associate with him in the future.

There is nothing off the table

" Her face kind of changed when she said that from an elderly woman into a hideous troll. "

Yeah, you see this transition. From that "professor" caught smashing random people over the head with a bike lock, to that guy with pink hair kicking an innocent woman in the head, to the Fonda tweets about abusing women and children...there's this satanic-like trance that is visible on their faces as they strike. I think it's very telling...and shouldn't be ignored.

The turn is in the rear view mirror Abaco.
You have witnessed it first hand. The homeless drug addicts the mentally ill. How much of that is caused by the cognitive dissonance as a result of ignoring reason. President Donald Trump is finally taking these moronic mockers and rogues on.
We are in an “Uncivil war” that started in the home stretch of the 2016 election.
The minor birds will have nothing to parrot when their leaders are being executed. They are evil and evil doesn’t create .Evil twists, distorts, and perverts . They have no ideas or ideals.
You see that is why they vehemently threw every falsehood they could nightmare up.
His SC vote will affirm military tribunals for the treasonous cart puller slave drivers.

....they fear he is going to set them back 100 years in their plans to a one world global govt...and total control....he must be stopped...

A game in which individuals improve their chances to win by climbing the ladder of victimhood.

Which is why they play identity politics.

I'm ready. But you already know this from my babble. Where do we start, how do we start?

"They will continue this trend unless there is pushback from someone."

it is going to take lots of "someone"s.

They will continue this trend unless there is pushback from someone. If it continues more people will believe it’s just okay. Then our youth will start believing that it is okay to act this way, and feel it's okay to just push people around that they merely disagree with. It will grow and continue to grow until they either are stopped, or until they get their way. Nancy Pelosi, or was it Hillary, even said so, incivility is okay until you agree with me. Should not a majority of civilized people put them down tell them that’s not acceptable? Will it take another law to make it illegal to harass and confront people they don’t even know? The choice is ours, are we going to just ignore, walk away, and ultimately accept this behavior, especially from our representatives, or are we going to do something about it, put a stop to it.

I don't even approve of the actions of the people in a recent video where Pelosi was being yelled at with profanity and calling her a communist that I recently saw. However a confrontation to this kind of behavior from either side has got to take place or it will just continue to grow. Anyone who is confronted and belittled in a restaurant or public place needs to challenge them in a manner acceptable to a civil society and our laws. What is that acceptable manner, are we actually redefining it today? A half dozen belligerent protestors could surely be stopped if every sane person around them stood up to them and legally threw them out without profanity or other illegal means. Stand your ground as long as it is on the right side of the law.

I think by just letting these atrocious incidents pass we are only encouraging it. The democrats and the media will later blame us because we allowed it to progress. We discussed this at my coffee group this morning and all (13 this morning) agreed that we would not just let it pass if it happened to us, at least not to our group, and we'd hope to get support from all the others around us if necessary. Here too, I might be concerned because the majority of our group are usually armed, not that we need a reason, but we do have Cougars and other wildlife in the area and a lot of cats and dogs seem to go missing around here. My concern is slight because of the mentality and civility of the group, this is a great bunch. Where do we go from here? Is there anything our Representative can do about it? Oh that's right, some of them are creating the issues, not doing what is necessary to make us civilized again and to protect us. But that too is our fault, we continue to vote them in to create these issues. Maybe we just need robots to make and enforce the laws. I think about Klaatu with his mighty robot Gort from “The Day the Earth Stood Still”.

So much of this is related to the laws that are passed against our freedom in order to keep us free. I can relate, being a past rental property owner, to the Landlord Tenant Acts of two different states. It takes forever (6 months) to legally get a dead beat out, they don’t even have to pay during this time, and the government can actually take away your property if the dead beat is engaged in illegal activities such as selling dope from your property. And now we've collectively as a civil society practically taken away the baton therapy from the police while confronting people that break the law. It's going to be really interesting to see how we cope with the pending invasion on our southern border. No matter what is done, it will be reported as Trump being some kind of tyrannical dictator. I will support whatever action he takes, except backing off. We've got the law on our side of this one, if law has any precedence anymore. Do you think the media will ever actually report what the law specifies legally to be done when these invaders try to cross the border line? If you think about it, there's actually got to be a lot of good in a dictatorship. How about a Representative Dictatorship, we give the Representative Dictator permission to actually carry out the law. That might actually prevent an invasion on our border. I content that what those representatives that created these issues is actually treason, and I think the law might be on my side. Then again, I could be wrong, but I had to express my opinion and it just wouldn't stop.

Thankfully I had a very different conversation when traveling in New Zealand. I was asked how I felt about the president, and I responded that he was a necessary disruption to shake up a stagnant bureaucracy that had forgotten why they were elected. The response from the Kiwi questioner was that he wished they could borrow him for a while. I actually got a better view of Americans there than I do here. Many New Zealanders and Australians are very aware of history, and are absolutely sure that without the deaths of thousands of Americans at the battles of the Coral Sea and Guadalcanal, they would have become Japanese subjects. They were very concerned that despite his statements about a "pivot to the Pacific," Obama was not serious about Chinese encroachment on the nations of the Pacific, and were glad to see Trump letting China know Americans are once again supporting the endangered states in the Pacific.

BAMN! Where only the goal is important. Commonly used by those with a broken moral compass. If they believe they can reach their goal by killing a million people so be it. But if it is only “neccesarry” to kill half million people...

“The end justifies the means”. A similar thought from Jean-Paul Sartre and, later, Malcolm X: The goal is to be achieved “by any means necessary.”

Most of them believe that an individual is just part of a collective and only identity matters, not the character of the individual.

I'm old enough to remember the stories about Germany in the 30's and 40's. "The Sound of Music" and the young boy's hardening of mind when Liesl tried to shush him when they were hiding in the churchyard from the SS made a BIG impression on me. I was age 7 when it came out and I saw it at the theater. Such a subtle scene but it spoke volumes to me about how easy it is for people to do evil. (Not that I interpreted it that way at that time).

Human nature is human nature. America, obviously, has always had the best system to combat human nature. Ingrained in we Americans are many precepts of due process and civility. However, the left has been setting this up for decades and we are all reaping the whirlwind now. Our foundations of civility were still too strong in the 1960's iteration.

Now? Who can say?

The EVIL left MUST be CRUSHED and their holds on "educating" the young destroyed. Or, if not these next couple of decades, some decades in the next 50 years or so, they WILL succeed in destroying that civility AND this country.

Something I've often wondered...if libs really cared about minorities, doesn't that mean that they absolutely MUST care about the individual? Isn't one a minority?

Based on lengthy experience and more than a few inner scars, I submit that it is impossible to have a logical give-and-take conversation with a leftist. It quickly descends into vitriol, and not on my side. I have had that experience for many years now, even before the recent unpleasantness.

Absolutely. They have severe moral superiority complex.

I think a huge portion of the leftist philosophy can be summed up by the phrase "the ends justify the means". They think--no, they BELIEVE--that they know what's right. It doesn't matter to them how they get to "right", as long as they get there.

Justice Kavanaugh (oh, how I love typing that) is the perfect example. The "ends" were to keep him off the Supreme Court both as the fifth conservative and as a President Trump nominee; the "means" were to destroy him and, as collateral damage, his family.

To that I make one exception: when said family member does something tacky, like taking advantage of taxpayer largesse for vacations, shopping sprees and the like.
