Tribalism, or just like religion.

Was barely an issue before the internet came along.

Now we are led by the nose by the likes of foreign trolls such as The Daily Mail

WHY? People doing their best to destroy your culture, desecrate everything you hold dear, make whites a minority in THEIR country by rolling out the red carpet to the scum of the Turd World--these aren't reasons enough to hate Dems?

[togor]

Well if someone's culture (yours?) is remembering the good times at the ol' Plantation, or Konzentrationlager, then yeah, those cultures shouldn't have a bright future. They should have a museum future, in the "mistakes we have made" category.

At the top of that category, "NOT re-patriating ALL ex-slaves back to Africa after the Civil War," which was an idea Lincoln considered.

Although, it has to be admitted that if that had been done, thousands of whites now employed as cops, prison guards, social workers, etc., would be out of work.

The Democrats seriously got their panties in a wad when Hillary didn't ascend to the throne. Time to grow up, but it won't happen.

You cannot eliminate the possibility that it was less about Hillary losing than the person who got in. Getting close to 200K fewer potential voters out there by election day, and the number rises daily.

[Johnny P]

No, it was a foregone conclusion that Hillary would be the next president, and when it didn't happen the Democrats just couldn't accept it and can't get over it.

Personally I don't care for Donald Trump and never did, but he has the country back in the right direction after the mess the grinning fool of a president before him left. Just a shame that the Chinese virus came along, as it affects everyone equally except in the case of governor Cuomo where he sent out sick people to infect those that can't take care of themselves. Surely you are not so blinded by your hate of Trump to blame the virus on him, or are you?

And what more can you ask of a President? Think of the President like an auto mechanic. You don't have to like him, as long as he fixes your car.

Best in the political section, really, but Trump's overriding concern when the epidemic hit these shores was the stock market. And knowing a thing or two about 1940, I can say with confidence that he's not being Churchillian about it.

[oscars]

There is a group of ten governors, Republican and Democratic, who have come together to purchase rapid COVID 19:tests to get a handle on rapid outbreaks. In turn these states rely heavily on their public folks to manage outbreaks. Of course the village idiots denigrate some of these Republicans as RINOS (Baker, DeWine and Hogan). I call them leaders. I did notice that Asa Hutchison of Arkansas is also a member of this group. Conspicuously missing were the governors of Georgia and Florida (Kemp and Desantis) who have been less than sterling in their management of the pandemic.

In the absence of facts, blame it on the stock market. During the 1918/19 pandemic the stock market hardly moved.

But I think you can see why Republicans and Democrats hate each other -- or at least how the Democrats on this forum hate the rest of us.

No one "hates" you.

What percentage of the population was invested in stocks, bonds, and futures? In the early 1920's less than 10%. Today more than 50% of the population is invested. I would say you have your answer.
