Quote:It's funny, it's like you have no idea what it would really be like in this world if we actually asserted our dominance. Mostly we sit by and let stuff go because we believe in a live and let live philosophy for the most part. But at some point all that is going to end and it will end badly for those who have a misunderstanding of how the world really works.

The far right has all the dominance of a flea. The far left's dominance is greater, but still not "dominant". All things eventually drift towards the center. We swung far to the right under Bush, even though the man was pretty centrist overall, we've swung far to the left under Obama, and odds are we swing back towards center under Hillary Clinton (who is, in reality, about as far left as a right-hand turn) following this election. If "asserting your dominance" is caving in to Obamacare, making lots of noise but doing nothing about Obama's executive orders, making lots of noise but ultimately doing nothing about Benghazi, supporting a nutjob of a candidate whose only real chance of beating Hillary centers around her eating a live puppy on national television and, ultimately, bending down before the liberal alter and asking, "Please sir, may I have another?", then you and I have very different ideas of what "dominance" is.

 

Consider this: the right side of the aisle controls Congress, yet whatever Obama wants still happens with minimal fuss. If the right is so dominant, how could that be the case? Liberals own this country. That needs to change, but for right now (and probably until 2020, at least), that is what it is. Trump can't beat Hillary, nor do I think he really wants to. Rubio can't beat Hillary. Cruz can't beat Hillary. Carson is doing an outstanding job of beating himself. Things will swing back towards center, but the far right Evangelical vote is not center. It's being marginalized further and further by the day, but that voting block refuses to acknowledge it and soften up on their more extreme, borderline racist positions. As Millennial influence grows, the far right will all but die, and in 20 years, points of view that we consider "moderately liberal" today will be the new right.
