I can't believe only 2 people could think of something they actually believed was wrong without making it a backhanded attack on the "other side." If any person on this board genuinely can't find something wrong about what they believe, it shows a real lack of self-awareness. I could probably skim threads by each poster on here and find a tangible way in which that poster was wrong, myself included.

I am still waiting to see if my 2 big predictions would come true or not. Removing the filibuster and making changes in the Supreme Court are two things I believed would happen during this administration. I'm hoping I'm wrong and Manchin holds strong. I'm hoping it's just political rhetoric. However, you can see the ratchet tightening down, and I still believe it's a very real possibility. If I'm wrong, I will say it.

Maybe instead of people passively attacking the other side, each poster should go back and reread their last year's worth of posts to see how many times they are incorrect. But, no one can bother themselves with facts or self-scrutiny.

Political discourse in this country has become pathetic.

I grew up watching Republicans bend over backwards accommodating Democrats. Meeting Democrats halfway was only an invitation to them to go further left. Republicans have been doormats and playing the nice guy forever. Meanwhile, the democrats have run roughshod over this country. If fighting back and taking a stand against these leftist freaks is wrong, I DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHT. No, I am sure I am wrong about a lot of things, that's just being human. But when it comes to politics, we on the right have finally accepted that its become a blood sport and there can only be one winner. There is no compromising with the leftist freaks, they want total domination. So they must be defeated, period.

I can agree with the bolded portion of that, but what's that got to do with this thread? Are you trying to wage war with the democrats here? It's OK to be wrong about things. It doesn't invalidate you as a person. It doesn't validate other people's bad ideas, either. 

On a different note, this is not the place to wage war. It's a forum. A place to discuss ideas. If you are really intent on going to real battle, I can't think of anything more inauthentic than posting about it on a message board. 

Why do any of you come here if your sole intention is to posture or troll? I don't get it.
