Hey DL! Hope you and your honey RWC are well today.
I was just making a comment about a few of the (banned) weirdos who haunt LGF— the same sorts who trash Charles at every opportunity on every venue where he or LGF is mentioned.

I agree with your serious point: I think there’s a tremendous amount of anger, hate , polarisation and demonisation in our political discourse, and the left has been guilty of it just as much as the right over the last say, 9 years. It’s not good for any of us or for the country.

I’m well enough for someone with bronchitis (went to the doc yesterday and got the meds to prove it!), and RWC is on his way to work as we type.
Maybe, given time, attitudes will change. But with all the extremists out there bring 90% of the voices heard that’s going to be a long time. I think the prob is that most people don’t think that extremism isn’t that bad in the US and they turn a blind eye to it. No one seems willing to do anything to stop it and so it grows and grows.
Its rather like a weed, at first its tiny and not much of a threat but as it grows the roots bury deeper and deeper until that weed is popping up all over the place and there’s no way to pull it out without digging up the entire yard. (Forgive the gardening metaphor, I was an Agriculture major in school and collage)
