Is anyone going to actually address the thought experiment itself? The 20% is "obnoxious people who hijack civil discourse and decorum to allocate outsized influence for themselves" and yes they exist on the left and the right. I will talk about the "regressive left" or whatever the hell just as soon as we have talk radio and cable news filled with left-wing ideologues and a bunch of socialists in Congress who would sooner burn down the country than negotiate with our center-right President (or really, center-left President would more accurately mirror the current situation but whatever).
You think there is much chance of that happening, like ever?
- nailer 10y agoPossibly. That kind of behaviour has a fairly strong growth rate ATM. In the UK its taken over the mainstream left, and we now have someone that idolises Chávez and feels sympathy with the IRA leading the Labour party. Anyone who thinks that, say, glorifying murder is wrong, is branded a Tory.
