I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

    I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil.

    Firstly, undestanding what left actually is would be a good start. You’re not talking about the left. You’re talking about liberals. Liberalism isn’t left. Liberalism is right-wing, and always have been.

    The actual left is very happy to be “uncivil.”

    Secondly, a good second step would be to finally accept that liberals, and liberalism in general, has never, and will never, oppose fascism.

    Those are two very basic things you can do right now.

      The left is such a small population in the US, it’s irrelevant. If we are to believe Trump’s rhetoric, any group that becomes too much of a nuisance will be deemed “the enemy within,” and be shot.

        The left is such a small population in the US, it’s irrelevant.

        And yet this “irrelevant” left managed to beat the far-right off the streets despite the far-right enjoying the support and protection of the police, not to mention luxurious funding. You don’t have to believe me, you can hear it from a Neo-Nazi himself.

        It’s almost like… if you were to stop paying attention to the liberal gaslighting you might realize the answer was right in front of you all this time.
