I have a hardcore, yet middle of the road democrat friend I was speaking with yesterday. YES, they do exist. They want nothing the extremist on the left want, but do want a bigger role in government, and they also want the government to be accountable. PLEASE just get over it whether you agree or not, for the sake of the next part.
He said that he believes that a civil war is inevitable and he lays it solely on the youngest voting generation just coming in, and RACE.
He said they know nothing about the struggles all of us went through in the 50's, 60's and 70's to set things right, and they are privileged beyond anything he has ever seen in 7 decades, yet use that word privilege to attack any and everybody, while doing absolutely nothing but bitching, griping, and protesting without any solution at all to a "created" problem long since set right, other than to rehash it over and over again.
He said he believes this civil war will start in major downtown metropolitan areas, and that those out in the midwest cornfields will come TO the urban areas to stop them.
GLOOM and DOOM?
Yeah, but it's not my doom and gloom from an Independent Conservative perspective, it's from a life long democrat.
I see it as a cautionary tale, and we better get a grip on it. Everything can't be a free for all, a right to this and that WITHOUT working for it, WITHOUT the struggles that help us rise up, in short there is no such thing as a free lunch, and we WILL find that out.
