I guess my point is we're not just making a decision to be wider apart from each other by ourselves.
Let's say "Before Trump" I was at the 30 yard line of Conservatism and Tibs was at the 35 yard line of Liberalism. In many ways we were against each other, but still on the same field.
Trump, the media and "Never-Trumpers" have created, arguably, a 50 yard chasm right at the 50 yard line that applies to everyone now. You HAVE to pick which side of the chasm to be on.
Now Tibs and I are 85 yards apart on EVERYTHING. What was a couple years ago people that were only 35 yards apart discussing things has devolved into a conversation between Ted Cruz and Kamala Harris.
That's sad in many ways, but we would even argue on who's fault that is (he will say that's Trump's fault, I will blame the media and "never-Trumpers").
All I can hope is after Trump is gone, the chasm is gone and we all get pushed back together and Tibs and I are only 35 yards apart instead of 85. But something tells me the "never-Trumpers" are going to hold this grudge against me and my ilk a lot longer than how long Trump is in office. We will just have to wait and see.
Nothing outside of open war on this country from the outside will push us back. You can thank moral decay and the education system that is grooming good little socialist servants to the state.
Every year those 12th graders turn 18 is another boost to their voters. As long as they keep promising free everything it's all good.
