      Yeah. Does anybody else think that this “One strike and you’re dead to me, regardless of how complex the issue is” thing is getting a little out of hand? The only winning move here is not to play, but then he would be attacked from both sides for appearing apathetic.

        It’s hilarious because it’s happening to both sides, like the extreme Republicans saying they won’t vote for their representative because they didn’t vote for Jim Jordan or Pence because he didn’t agree to coup an election for Trump. The purity tests are so intense and instaneous nowadays.

      E: the fact I only got one response should be proof enough. when you have societies that tend to gravitate towards dictators, strong men, or are hostage to royal families, that’s what you’re gonna get.
