        Trump living rent-free in the other party’s head is the reason he’s going to be re-elected.

          Well said. So in World War II and the Civil War, we should have just talked the enemy down, right?

          Surest thou jest…

            As long as atrocities in the past continue to justify atrocities in the present, there will be no end to atrocities.

              Well if we did just try to talk them down we’d all be speaking German right now. Well, not me, my African American blood line would be extinct.

                What’s wrong with speaking German? It’s the language of Goethe, Schiller, Bach, Einstein, Planck, Gauss, Leibniz, Hilbert, Marx, Nietzsche, Luther, Kant, Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein… the list goes on and on.

                Are you really gonna shit on all of that because of one failed Austrian painter with a funny mustache?

        No, I’m saying they generate fear about it. Which ironically leads to more hatred, not less.
