There is plenty to fear. You just don't know it yet.

Tucker interviewed the 1 republican who voted to allow 16 year olds to vote last night and his main selling point was that they don't automatically have to be democrats. Republicans need to do their jobs to recruit them. That is simply impossible at that age, unless they were raised by good parents.

The bolded is a huge problem with our society.  The only good parents are Republicans, folks.  Divisive rhetoric sure has done a number on this country.

One time I had a political conversation with someone I go to church with. And the dude said that my opinion on something or other indicated that I hate America. I should have cut off the conversation there, but I was so caught off guard that I got defensive.  I indicated that his comment upset me and I tried to explain that I love America. Then the guy says to me, that I must have gone to public school (I did) and that if I had been home-schooled or Christian Schooled like his children, I would understand whatever it was correctly and love America correctly. He said that public school teaches kids to hate America and that anyone who goes to public schools and gets good grades has learned to hate America. 

I mean, I guess shame on me for mixing religion and politics.
There's a certain type of person for whom it's not enough to just live the kind of life that they think is best and vote for the kind of people that they think are best. That's enough for me, but I also like talking to people and try to have a give and take where we learn new stuff or get an inconsistency in our viewpoint pointed out. No, this other type of person is more interested in making you intellectually submissive with put downs.  I don't know if my method earns me any friends, but his made an enemy, for sure.
