    Fair to be fed up, but I feel that was more a concern when the two sides of the coin were very close to being the same. I’m not much behind you on age but I can still see that only one option TODAY is trying to blatantly and openly destroy most of the progress we made in your 52 years. I’d rather hold the douche and have a chance at getting out clean than hold the turd and assuredly end up covered in shit.

      They both are, one is just more open about it and willing to get there a bit faster on some issues. Yes, the bulk of Conservatives are somewhere between “Awful” and “JFC this person needs to be beamed into outer space!” but the Authoritarianism and Stupidity are running just as rampant among the so-called Liberals.

      I’d rather hold the douche and have a chance at getting out clean than hold the turd and assuredly end up covered in shit.

      You know what a douche is for, right? That’s the point of that skit, it’s a Hobsons Choice. It"s amazing to me people continually bring that skit up without understanding what it really meant.

        Of course I know what one is for, the point I was making is that what SEEMS to be the same to you and what may have been is no longer the case.

        You’ve clearly already checked out and, at best, listen to mainstream media if you’re still in the “they are the same” or “one hides it better” camp. Lost cause.
