    Seriously you haven't seen this, I think it's been getting worse. It's not called nutpicking, it's reality

    Yes Them. I’ve been contemplating it for months and finally took the plunge. I’m most of the way through, and I’m very impressed by it so far. Reading it has definitely raised my level of respect for Sasse.

    So you think this person well represents the reality of 10s of millions liberal Americans? What about all the left leaning posters on this thread questioning the sanity of this person? Is that somehow not reality?
    And is it reality when the other side finds their own nuts?

    Is this the reality of conservatives?
    Children abused at religious youth center run by Arkansas man pardoned by Trump

    Is this the reality of pastors?
    Alabama mayor/pastor kills himself after secret life as transgender curvy girl exposed

    Is this the reality of cops?
    Cop who shot college football player resigns after racist text messages are exposed


    I think that one of our biggest problems is that if we simultaneously argue that all those millions of people who disagree with us are diluted and we, people just like them, see reality with perfect clarity. As Madison put it,

    As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves.

    I don't think it represents 10s of millions liberal Americans yet but yes it's changing for the worse, especially with liberal kids

    Well if this person isn’t representative, I think it does represent an example of nutpicking.

    As to your deeper point that people and society are changing for the worse, I think this is worth a lot of discussion. Why might we think this? In what ways is it getting worse? How do we define worse?

    I also think we need to acknowledge that the other side also believes things are getting worse in very different ways. Why do we have this divide in perspective, and how might we come to a common understanding? I think addressing these questions is much less instantly satisfying than painting the other side as crazy, but I also think these questions are much more important and have a chance of improving the situation.

    She does have bigger problems…she’s obviously ate up with liberal progressivisms. That would make anyone lose their mind.
    What should have been a SNL skit has unfortunately become the America that creates real life assholes who seem to think it’s normal to say the shit she said.
    That thing/it should be locked up forever, never to be able to procreate.
