So you are prejudiced against boomers right? Not only are you prejudiced but you go even further and become belligerent, accusatory and judgemental and you do these things without adequate information. It is the same thing that trump supporter do against liberals. You are really no different in my opinion and no need to answer why. I talk to trump supporters a lot and I realize why they have anger toward people like yourself. I am so glad that me boomer tried to teach my children to be open minded, paid for my education and my 3 children's college education and know how to use a shovel! You my friend make me proud to be a boomer
Thank you for stepping up and proving my point.

If we are not able to get rid of automatic weapons and seriously treat the mentally ill then I suggest we lock up our schools. We have to have solutions not memes and name calling. If we can not agree that something has to be done to protect our children then something is wrong with ALL of us. My position is that something has to be done and if we have to do it with Republicans and their automatic weapons then lets do it. I have the desire as much as anyone to say shame on anyone for supporting automatic weapons for sale to the public but that is not going to get anything done. Democrats will have to find another way. It's sad. It's wrong. But we have to get all the moral high ground words out of our system and then get to work and do something...SMH....the more you know

Our political system is not working because of human emotion. We the people are so sharply divided we react with emotion not reason. Anger and hatred are showing up on both sides and there is a very slim middle if any at all. Joe Biden might be the very last Moderate Politician this country elects for President in our life time. If we continue this path I predict that extremism will be the new normal in politics if not already there. Moderate Democrats and Moderate Republicans will be ridiculed and labeled within their own parties as traitors. This is real. This is happening. I think our Media Industry has contributed significantly to manipulate our emotions against each other. Fox News is being exposed as I type but people want to believe what they want to believe.
I am not sure how we got here so quickly. One corrupt man is not the entire reason. Corruption occurs when people allow it. People allow corruption when it benefits them. The Republican Party along with Fox News figured this out long ago. The Democratic Party and their desire for instant progressive change made it easy for them. I think when we "demand" too much too fast from people they will react against change. I do not blame the Democratic Party but I think it was bad timing because religion was on the decline and many rural communities have shriveled up from businesses and skilled workers moving to larger cities. A very large population feel victimized and Democrats got caught up in the moment and neglected these rural communities.
I do not believe this will end well for the Democratic Party. Many people including many in my own family really believe that trump is being persecuted just like Jesus. How can people believe this? I do not know but I do know that the Democratic Party is under attack by Conservatives and the Republican Party is under attack by liberal progressives AND there is NO MIDDLE ground. I wish I were wrong but I hear the anger and hatred in our words communicated to each other regarding politics. I believe that this can only get worse unless we are able to forgive each other for all the words we have used to call out the other side. My hope is in our children. We need to protect our children. We need to make them safe. We have to put our moral high ground second to protecting our children. We have to do this now...

How does the nasty party explain the elections they won?In addition to the intimidation Republicans win by gerrymandering, suppressing votes, etc.
Here is Paul Weyrich, one of the founders of The Heritage Foundation, back in 1980 explaining why voter suppression is needed for republicans to win elections.

How does the nasty party explain the elections they won?They say they believe in a higher power which means they do not need to explain. They say the bible has predicted all that is happening. We are dealing with a large population that places all trust in Faith...and one very corrupt man

Maybe the unaccountability of a higher power is to blame?

Maybe the unaccountability of a higher power is to blame?I think that religion has given them the "power" to justify everything so they can believe what they want to believe. There is no accountability for them. All they have to do is have faith and Jesus appears in the form of one of the most corrupt people on this planet. Not only do they believe in trump but they send him money to fight the persecution. Democrats did the same thing with Bill Clinton. There was a movie called Primary Colors with Travolta, Billy Bob Thornton and Kathy Bates. It follows a similar theme where people believe what they want to believe. Poor Bill Clinton persecuted by the republicans. And the weird thing about that is Donald Trump is no Bill Clinton or Jesus

Thank goodness our city, Louisville, is represented by a democrat, not Massie. But he does represent areas just east of Louisville, and some of the shooting victims lived in one of his areas. The two republican senators, we all dislike, McMitch and Paul, have of course, offered prayers. Our mayor was shot at during his campaign. He has been working toward reducing gun violence, but with guns everywhere, it's the ultimate challenge. Also, the d*** gun that was used in this awful crime, according to the stupid state's law, has to be auctioned off, possibly used again in a crime/death. Our mayor would be charged with a crime if he destroys the gun! we hope he will do that! Ellen

Which form of Truth was George referring toSo, you just invented categories and conditions to the truth. Who made you the arbiter of truth? Truth isn’t subject to emotion. Just because you emotionally feel it’s true, doesn’t mean it’s true.
